Hills and munros
Balquhidder Glen is ringed by mountains, and there are walks straight from the door for every level — from a gentle hour along the glen floor to a full day on the tops.
From the doorstepThings to do
Balquhidder Glen sits inside Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Most of what's worth doing starts within walking distance of the front door.
Wild swimming
The loch is a short walk from the house and a beautiful place to swim or simply sit. We know the quieter spots and are happy to share them.
A short walkCycling by the loch
The road along the loch makes for a lovely ride through the heart of the valley, with the water on one side and the hills on the other.
From the doorstepWildlife watching
Deer cross the meadow most mornings — guests have counted a dozen from the back garden. Red squirrels, woodpeckers and swallows are regulars, and there's a feeder by the window.
In the gardenMhor 84
The local favourite for hearty food by the fireside, breakfast through dinner. Mhor in Store next door is full of local art, gifts and unusual finds.
NearbyA private sauna in the glen
We can help arrange a private sauna session locally — the right way to finish a long day on the hill.
Arranged on requestWoodland walks
Quiet forest paths and waterside trails within easy reach, good in any weather and especially fine when the mist is down.
NearbyBalquhidder Kirkyard
The old kirkyard in the village is the burial place of Rob Roy MacGregor, and is worth the short wander even if you only half-remember the story.
In the villageJust ask
We're always happy to share our favourite local spots — dinner, cosy drinks, scenic hikes and the quieter wild swimming places that don't make it into guidebooks. Guests consistently say the recommendations were among the best parts of the stay.
