Lakeside hotel on Scotland's only natural lake featuring an in-house Malt Vault
Lakeside Location & Historical Setting
Karma Lake Of Menteith Hotel sits on the shores of Scotland's only natural lake, Lake Menteith. The building is a 19th-century manse that has been enlarged and decorated in the style of a classic New England waterfront hotel. Guests can take a boat trip to Inchmahome Island to visit the ruins of a historical priory.
Dining & Malt Vault
The hotel's restaurant offers locally sourced Scottish produce, with dishes like Cullen Skink risotto and venison lasagne on the menu. The in-house Malt Vault has one of the finest selections of malt whisky in the region, with a menu longer than the food menu. Complimentary afternoon tea and a breakfast buffet with both continental and cooked options are included in the stay.
Entertainment & Activities
A games room with a pool table, large TV, and board games is available for guests. The hotel offers a sauna in a shepherds hut with wild swimming in the lake, free for guests on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. A traditional ceilidh entertainment is held on the last Friday of each month.
Dog-Friendly Accommodations
