The Loch Leven Hotel benefits from a pretty magical loch-side setting with breathtaking views of the nearby mountains, a virtual carpet of flowers at springtime and for those city dwellers who are accustomed to the sound of traffic, take a break to hear the woodpigeons cooing in the branches or see the rare red squirrel working tirelessly.

If you're looking for a hearty Scottish breakfast to kick-start your day then head to the lovely Victorian breakfast room. At lunchtime you could eat in style at the restaurant with fantastic vistas of the hills beyond that may even distract your attention from the menu. But that is only till the starters arrive, perhaps the Cajun chicken breast fillet drizzled with satay sauce, and traditional haggis, neeps and tatties. After that the Loch Leven's Celtic casserole of slowly cooked lamb with root vegetables in rich gravy is certainly not to be missed.

The well stocked bar at Loch Leven offers a wide selection of draught and bottled beers, and over 75 malt whiskies.
