Wester Auchraw Croft B&B, Loch Lomond Accommodation

Wester Auchraw Croft B&B occupies a historic croft in Lochearnhead, recognized as a Place of Architectural Interest. The building retains its original 1795 cruck frame, visible within the rooms, and sits within a beautifully maintained garden. Guests booking the deluxe rooms stay in a Mongolian yurt set on the outdoor deck, a lodging type not offered elsewhere in the village.

Morning meals include a Full Scottish breakfast, vegetarian options, and vegan dishes, all prepared with produce from the garden. The host serves a signature whisky-laced porridge with honey and a poached egg with avocado salad, using herbs picked on-site. Communal breakfast seating places guests at one table, a setup that encourages conversation and shared local knowledge.

The property provides direct access to Loch Earn, located a two-minute walk away, for swimming, fishing, and windsurfing. On-site activities include cycling, hiking, and horse riding, with equipment storage available. Guided tours about local culture run from the croft, and the host offers recommendations for walks and historical sites.

The host, a spiritual instructor, offers reiki sessions and yoga classes on the property. Aerobics and canoeing sessions are available for guests staying more than one night. The garden includes a picnic area and outdoor furniture, providing a setting for these wellness activities.

The croft sits in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, near the village of Lochearnhead. Doune Castle, a 14th-century stronghold used in film productions, is 35 km away, and Stirling Castle is 47 km away. Glasgow Airport is 80 km from the property, reachable in about an hour by car.
