Fodor's Expert Review Monachyle Mhor
Off A84, Balquhidder, Stirling, FK19 8PQ, Scotland Fodor's Choice
Splendidly isolated in Balquhidder Glen, this beautiful converted farmhouse with contemporary interiors is set amid forests and moorland, looking out onto Lochs Voil and Doine. Rooms are strikingly modern and unique, with clean lines and touches of luxury, like plush animal-print throws and elegant toiletries. A cabin and a caravan redesigned by architects offer more nostalgic accommodations.The beautiful courtyard rooms, beside the main house, are more expensive. Known for its Scottish food, the hotel kitchen uses many homegrown ingredients from its own herb gardens. There's an expertly prepared prix-fixe menu (£65), and if the weather is favorable, you can eat on the patio. In June, the hotel hosts its own festival week with food and music.
