About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stronachlachar Lodge - spacious with cinematic views, direct access to loch.

Escape to the peace and tranquility of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, the perfect spot to enjoy with the family or a group of friends.

Countryside 6-bedroomed heritage home with private access to loch. Made for memorable gatherings, the spacious dining area seats twelve comfortably, and the fully equipped kitchen supports effortless self‑catering. A private chef can be organised with advance notice.

The ground floor offers a generous, well‑appointed kitchen‑diner, a lounge showcasing exceptional views, dedicated games rooms, a cloakroom WC, and a practical utility area.

Set over the first and second floors, the bedrooms offer generous space and comfort. The first floor includes a good‑sized twin, an expansive master with super‑king bed, and a double‑aspect king‑size room. Two bathrooms serve this floor: a stylish family bathroom with rolltop bath, separate shower and WC, plus an additional shower room next door.

The top floor hosts three more bedrooms: a stylish king‑size with en‑suite shower room, a comfortable twin furnished with two single beds, and a delightful king‑size double boasting a Juliet balcony and captivating views of the loch.

Take full advantage of the expansive outdoor space, from the wide grassy lawn perfect for family fun, to the lower garden set with picnic tables beside the loch and its panoramic vistas.

With hundreds of kilometres of walking, hiking and cycling trails winding through the park, it’s easy to see why this landscape became the birthplace of Scottish tourism. Poets, writers and film crews have long been drawn here — including Sir Walter Scott, who found inspiration in its beauty for The Lady of the Lake. A voyage on the legendary Sir Walter Scott steamship, departing from Stronachlachar Pier and crossing Loch Katrine to the Trossachs, remains an essential experience.

Treasure time spent with family and friends, crafting memories that will last long after your stay.

In my portfolio, I have Stronachlachar Lodge, Wattie Cottage and Scott Cottage — three neighbouring properties that sit side by side. Guests can book them together, creating the perfect setting for larger family gatherings, small events, or, with prior agreement, intimate weddings.

As the main portion of the former Stronachlachar House Hotel, Stronachlachar Lodge is complemented by Scott and Wattie Cottages. Stronachlachar Lodge benefits from the most extensive grounds and direct access to the water; Scott and Wattie follow with the second‑largest plot, with elevated views towards the loch.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful and very special house. The location by the loch is absolutely stunning, and the house offered plenty of space for our large family group. We really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and had a lovely week together. Alex was friendly and helpful throughout. Thank you for having us!

The views and the house are spectacular. We got our money's worth and more. Clean with everything you need. Even supplied us with wood for the fireplace. We loved the living room views and called it the cozy room. Rooms were big, beds comfortable, plenty of bathrooms. Caught a Pike and trout as well. Special memories to keep forever

This property was wonderful to stay at with a large family gathering. The area was beautiful and the lodge was outstanding. The kitchen was fully equipped and a great gathering spot. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and some even braved a dip in the loch. I highly recommend this property and Alex is a wonderful host.

My family and I had had the most wonderful stay at Stronachlachar Lodge. The house is ABSOLUTELY stunning, with picturesque views from almost every window, and being directly on Loch Katarine. It is so peaceful and despite being so big, it is incredibly homely. The bedrooms are all huge (there are 4 double bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms with 4 beautiful bathroom / shower rooms & extra wc on ground floor) The owners were so lovely, on hand if we needed anything and couldn't do enough to make our stay comfortable. The house is very well equipped with every pan/utensil/crockery etc that you could wish for as well as a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. Locally there are some excellent walks/cycle paths and Inversnaid Waterfall is well worth a visit. The lovely Pier cafe is just a stones throw away serving breakfast & lunch. The local co-op is a few miles away in the nearby town, Aberfoyle. There is a pub Faeirie Tree Inn in Aberfoyle also and a some other good eateries (the Bistro at the Inversnaid Bunkhouse is incredible! The black dog pub in Gartmore does lovely food (no Sunday lunch tho on the menu when we visited in April) and Nicks at Port of Menteith was a lovely Michelin Star restaurant but at very very reasonable prices!). I could not recommend this stunning home enough if you're looking for a brilliant, large family holiday or corporate event.

Stronachlachar Lodge is the perfect place to explore the Scottish countryside. All rooms have lake views. Very spacious and easily accommodated our group of 8. The kitchen is large, has everything you need and is a great gathering place. There is a small cafe next door. Alexandra is a great host who adds lots of personal touches. She gave lots of restaurant suggestions and all were fantastic. Be sure to stop at Maggie’s Aberfoyle Kitchen on the way in to load up on shortbread.

Highly recommend Stronachlachar Lodge! The home is neatly kept with plenty of little extras to make it even more welcoming. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is very spacious. Alex was a masterful host: readily available and helpful but not intrusive. We had a group of 10 (two families) with children aged 7 through 19. Adults and children all enjoyed the stay.
