Beautiful log cabin set around Scotland’s only Lake of Menteith. Everything was exceptional from cleanliness to facilities and location for further exploration of Scotland. Stirling is around 25 minutes drive away and you are able to do a big shop as the cabins are self catering. The closest shops are in Aberfoyle where souvenir shops and restaurants were to be found. Stirling Castle, the Trossachs Trail, the Blair Drummond Safari Park, Birds of Prey Centre and surrounding areas of Inchmahome Island are all within 20-30 minutes drive. Nick Nairns Cooking School is open from Wednesday-Sunday and seems like a good local choice. For take away options, Callander has pizza, Indian and fast food options. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both an hour’s drive away and are worth exploring if desired. However it’s the location of the Port of Menteith, with its beautiful setting on the lake, far from the madding crowds is a beautiful place to rest, reflect and recover. The quality of our family break was superb, nothing was too much trouble for the kind folk who run the place. The beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and dine with, recycling and the use of environmentally friendly products were particularly good to see as well as the emphasis on recycling. The Games room provided us with entertainment such as pool, table tennis and DVDs. Other facilities included a sauna by the lake, tennis court and access to outdoor pursuits like swimming, fishing and canoeing. There is much to explore nearby too, the lush settings and facilities are so relaxing and we hope to return soon.

There isn’t much to fault at all but perhaps a bathroom mirror which shorter people and children can use could be put up easily alongside the other one.

The views of the lake were stunning, the air was so fresh and the location was very peaceful. The chalet was very comfortable and very well equipped. We loved the wild birds and also the ducks kept us very amused. We were lucky enough to see ospreys from the patio. The view of the lake from the bedroom was second to none. Downstairs bathroom is really luxurious.

The bedroom overlooking the lake had very steeply sloping ceilings which can't be helped because of the chalet design, but we couldn't stand upright, also the upstairs shower room was really lacking in space, it would have been better as a loo and sink only. the 2 single beds are better suited to children, our group of 6 were all adults.

We had a wonderful stay at Lochend Chalets and can't recommend it enough! The chalets were tidy, clean, and incredibly comfortable, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It's an affordable yet high-quality getaway, perfect for unwinding and enjoying nature. One of the standout features was how environmentally friendly the site is, which we really appreciated. It’s also a family-run business, and the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. We loved waking up to ducks visiting us every morning—such a charming touch! The abundance of wildlife around the area added to the experience. During our stay, we dined at Nick’s Restaurant, and the food was absolutely fantastic—highly recommended! The location is also great, with easy access to Stirling, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, making it a perfect base for exploring. We will definitely return and are already looking forward to our next visit!

The cabin was very clean and the facilities were adequate for all our needs. The location was amazing since we were surrounded by nature, and the lake was beautiful, brimming with wildlife. We also had fun in the games room thanks to the presence of table tennis equipment, so that was a huge plus! There were also a lot of nice natural places to visit nearby, within a relatively close distance with a car, be it lakes or forests.

It would be absolutely perfect if there was a café within walking distance since we are avid coffee lovers.

The accommodation was clean, spacious, and well equipped. The views were absolutely outstanding. Immediate access to the lake from your chalet. It's the most stunning and peaceful location we've visited. The play area and grounds were lovely, too. We are planning on visiting again next year. But next time, book through their own website.

Living room curtains have a burn hole and a few interior updates needed e.g. curtains, wall hanging in the kitchen, star light not working in the living area. But otherwise, one of the best equipped places we've ever visited.

Our first time visiting and we were glad we came. Staff welcoming when arrived, very happy with our chalet very spacious and clean comfortable beds, love you can sit at table look out at beautiful views definitely spectacular.. Plus, the games room is a great bonus, especially if the weather is not great. we did try out table tennis and air hockey. Also, great selections of dvd to choose for a movie which we did. Would highly recommend this place, very relaxing and peaceful. Thank you

The property was perfect. I should have advised that I had a hip problem and would probably have been given a shower instead of a bath but I coped well. Maybe just needed a non slip mat in shower but got there and it didn’t really affect my stay as it was still just brilliant.

Again I should have mentioned about my hip problems and there was no non slip mat or hand rails in the bathroom but all staff were very accommodating and this would have been given if asked for so it was my problem for not speaking up sooner.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful location. The stunning lake right in front of the accommodation offered breathtaking views that filled our hearts with peace and joy. The sauna was a true delight — the pleasant warmth and cozy atmosphere helped us fully relax after our busy days. I warmly recommend this place to anyone looking for relaxation and unforgettable moments!

The views from the chalet were gorgeous and the chalet itself was clean and tidy. The chalets are located in a great spot for exploring and Nicks restaurant is a great on site addition! We've already started planning our next trip as we enjoyed it so much.

This is a very very minor issue, but slightly better tea towels - the ones we had didn't seem to dry anything very well which made the plates/cups etc smell funny.

Beautiful, spacious log cabin containing everything we needed for our stay. Best kitchen facilities I’ve come across in self-catered accommodation. Heating worked great and the shower was nice and warm. Views from the cabin were stunning. Really appreciated all the information that was made available regarding activities / places to visit in the local area! Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Thanks for the great stay, recommending to all our family and friends!

Nothing, it was perfect!
