Ben More Lodge in new ownership
Ben More Lodge hotel in Crianlarich at the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, has changed hands. Jennie and Ian have taken on the challenge after falling in love with the area on their frequent holidays. As keen walkers, cyclists and kayakers they will maintain the welcome to those looking to climb the local Munro's, fish for trout and salmon or just enjoy the magnificent scenery.
Ben More lodge will now be open all year round, and will add to its reputation for fine food with a new wider menu.
The Ben More Lodge Hotel is ideal for either a single night stopover, or as a main holiday base for exploring the region. For those who live more locally it offers competitive group or exclusive use packages for parties or corporate events.
Refurbishment work on the lodges has already started as part of an upgrade of facilities.
For Jennie this represents a departure from her previous career as stock-keeper for Bentley & Skinner jewellers in Bond Street London
Ian, originally from the local area is looking forward to the walking.
The landscape of this mountainous area is ever changing and always colourful, with the evergreen spruce and fir trees contrasting with purple and brown heathers. The grounds are beautifully kept, with shrubs and trees lining the car park and pathways. A step away from the main building is the privacy and quiet of the secluded lodges.
