Award-Winning Self-Catering Lakeside Chalets with Nick Nairn Cook School
Accommodation
Lochend Chalets occupies a 38-acre estate on the shore of the Lake of Menteith, with views across the water to Ben Lomond. Guests stay in award-winning log cabins, lodges, and a stone cottage, each with a kitchen equipped with oven, fridge, and dining table. Some lodges have a hot tub, a sauna, or a wood-burning stove, and all bookings include a welcome pack with fresh milk, tea, coffee, and biscuits.
Dining & Cook School
Nick Nairn Cook School runs cooking classes on the property, and Nick Nairn's restaurant serves meals just a short walk from the chalets. Guests staying at the chalets receive a 10% discount at the restaurant, which uses high-quality produce. BBQ facilities and a picnic area allow for outdoor self-catering meals.
Outdoor & Lake Activities
The chalets sit directly on the beachfront of the Lake of Menteith and provide water sport facilities on site for paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming. Fishing is available directly on the lake, and a row boat can be used for trips across the water. Wildlife viewing from the grounds includes ospreys, red kites, and resident ducks.
Family Facilities
Children's playground and kids' outdoor play equipment are located on the grounds, along with baby safety gates and board games and puzzles. The family-run property has family rooms, an allergy-free room, and offers babysitting and child services. The games room with pool, table tennis, and a tennis court provides older children and adults extra entertainment.

The attention to detail in the accommodation, from the equipped kitchens to the en-suite bathrooms, is evident, and the availability of a games room adds a thoughtful layer of enjoyment for all ages. Dining at the adjacent restaurant is a clear highlight, and the easy access to the lake for invigorating dips offers a refreshing connection to the natural surroundings.”
