Soothingly situated on a lake (yes, it's the only non-loch in Scotland) 3 miles east of Aberfoyle, this genteel retreat makes a great romantic getaway. Though all rooms are excellent, with a contemporary feel, it's worth an upgrade to the enormous 'lake heritage' ones with a view of the water: it really is a sensational outlook.
Even if you're not staying, head down to the waterside bar-restaurant (mains £10 to £17; open noon to 2.30pm and 5.30pm to 9pm, closed Monday and Tuesday from November to February). Check the website for packages.
