We’ve just had a cracking weekend in the Trossachs, staying at Monachyle Mhor Hotel. This is a rather special hideaway a long way down the glen at Balquhidder.
Best things about the hotel:
- 4-course dinner:
- appetiser: oyster
- starter: John Dory (John), partridge with bacon, cabbage and oatmeal(Jacqueline)
- main: loin of venison on a bed of pak choi with a fig tarte tatin
- pud: apple tarte tatin (John), chocolate baby cake (Jacqueline)
- Breakfast – a Full Scottish with bacon, haggis (yes, indeed!), mushrooms, tomato, fried egg and toast,
- The room – large, comfortable, with a gas stove in one corner, a walk-in shower anda bath (with multi-coloured lights) in the bathroom, and the most enormous bed. Next time we come, we must remember some CDs and DVDs for the DVD player.
Good walks too – up Beinn an t’Sithean on Sat, up Inverlochlarig Glen on Sun.
[...] See my reports from Monachyle Mhor in 2004 and 2005 – I believe from friends that it has regained it’s lost magic since [...]
