Altskeith is an exceptionally attractive much loved country house, in a wonderful location with spectacular views of Ben Lomond and across picturesque Loch Ard. The garden is charming, with sweeping lawns and an enchanting burn runs through it down into the loch. At the bottom of the garden, just across the small road is a private shingle beach and guests are welcome to bring a rowing boat or canoe, alternatively boats can be hired close by.
The property itself is exceptionally welcoming and the accommodation is very spacious with a large and comfortably furnished drawing room which features a bay window with views across the waterfall to the loch and the Ben. Three log fires help keep the house warm and comfortable whilst helping to create a lovely atmosphere. The excellent bedrooms, all of which are en suite enjoy wonderful loch views. The elegant and spacious dining room seats up to 20 guests so large dinner parties can be enjoyed. There is also a Morning Room with a TV, a large games room complete with a pool table and an open fire and a beautiful conservatory with lovely views of the surrounding area. Finally, the well equipped breakfasting kitchen has both an Aga and gas cookers making cooking for large numbers an easy option.
