“Fantastic in every way!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2006

My wife and I absolutely loved this B & B. We haven't stayed in a B & B for decades, prefering hotels/motels. This is a lovely, stone house. We found the bedroom to be comfortable and large. It should be pointed out that we were lucky enough to get the large, front room, with the spectacular view of the loch and wooded area. Ask for this room although it will cost a bit more. We loved walking around the lake, which we did twice. Cara, the Innkeeper, is warm, accommodating, and positive. Breakfast was very good, as well. Our mistake was only booking this B & B for one night. Next time, we will certainly stay longer. If you like to walk/hike, there are many possibilities closeby.

“Very Satisfied”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2006

After a full week of travelling throughout Scotland I have to say that Creag-Ard House was the best place we stayed. Absolutely marvelous views of the lake and mountains. The hospitality we recieved was top-notch, as was the breakfast. The bedroom was average, probably because we booked late and took the last room; otherwise I would give 5 stars. I would recommend Creag-Ard to anyone travelling through the area to stay there. For 60 GBP (2 persons), it is a superb value!

“Best Value on 10 day Trip - Gold Standard”

You can't do better than Creag-Ard House. This is what B&B is supposed to be. We felt welcome and were given every courtesy. We had a double with an extra bed for our 9 year old. We slept very well.

The price was perfect for what we received and feel it is the best value in the area. The view is fantastic. It was a perfect fit for us as our daughter even played some with the neighborhood children.

It is also in a great location to see Mentieth, Trossachs and region.

Great job Cara. We know you work hard at it and it shows.

“Fantastic spot”

Idyllic lockside location. Very good breakfast with a selection of fruit, fresh baked scones and homemade marmalade as well as a variety of cooked options. Great hospitality. The main regret was that the stay was spoilt by uncomfortable cheap mattresses. When you pay £90 for a double room, even if it does have a fantastic view, you expect a better bed.

“Wonderful views...”

Just come back from a weekend at Creag-Ard. Accomodation was very good, views both from the room (No.2) and the front door overlook the Loch and the Trossachs - truly fantastic.

Food was very good and the hospitality from Cara (owner) faultless.

Would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends, and would intend to stay there again if we were in Stirlingshire in the future.

It was good value for money with B&B at £70 per room per night. Yes, you can find better accomodation but not in this price range.

If being picky, the bedrooms could do with a radio-alarm of some description. Breakfast is only served between 8-9am and if you don't pack one, you may struggle to make it (fortunately, we were with our 7 month old son so it didn't prove a problem!)
