The very best places to stay in
Just a short drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park is where the Highlands truly begin — a place where ancient forests, glassy lochs and rugged mountains create a cinematic backdrop for slow escapes. It’s perfect for weekend wanderers and travellers craving a peaceful holiday with a touch of adventure: hiking, kayaking, wild swimming and biking.
The landscape is incredibly varied — from wide-open loch shores and dense native woodland to dramatic mountain passes and tranquil glens — and unbelievably beautiful. Move lightly and you’ll likely see red squirrels and deer (especially in the Great Trossachs Forest), and osprey swooping above the loch.
We’ve found some gorgeous design-led places to stay in this magical region — a romantic treehouse and a luxe bothy on a vast estate; 2 great-value pods amidst stunning landscapes, and a camper van for the ultimate adventure.

Curate your Loch Lomond and Trossachs stay
Must do
SUP or wild swim in Loch Lomond, then wrap up warm and watch the sun set over the water from Balmaha or Luss.
Best activity
The rugged Arrochar Alps offers incredible hiking and scrambling for more adventurous souls. The Cobbler (Ben Arthur) is the best-known peak — a short, sharp ascent with jaw-dropping views from the summit.
Secret Kip tip
Hike to breathtaking viewpoints at Ben A’an & Ben Venue, which both feel far more remote than they actually are.
With kids
Hop on a Victorian steamship across Lake Katrine for a leisurely cruise. Keep your binoculars handy for spotting osprey.
