General Details
Awarded a 5 Star Restaurant with Rooms rating by Visit Scotland and the AA Premier Collection, Creagan House provides guests with good food, fine wines and excellent accommodation.
Creagan House has also been awarded a silver award from Eat Scotland, 2 AA Rosettes, and is listed in the AA's Top 200 Hotels in Britain and Ireland.
Dating from the 17th century, the house offers a true slice of traditional Scotland, with its Baronial Dining Hall and 5 charming bedrooms.
Guests are surrounded by the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, with its many climbing, bird-watching, fishing cycling and golfing opportunities.
Accommodation
All 5 bedrooms have en-suite facilities and are decorated to a high standard.
They are furnished with antiques and many thoughtful 'little extras' for guests.
The entire house can be reserved for party bookings, provided there are at least eight adults staying for dinner, bed and breakfast.
One of the bedrooms has a unique four-poster bed and another is situated on the ground floor, with wheelchair access.
Each room is well equipped with a television with satellite channels, a radio alarm clock with CD player, and tea and coffee making facilities.
Food and Drink
Good food is at the heart of Creagan House and the Baronial Dining Room, with its grand fireplace, provides the perfect setting in which to enjoy a meal.
The restaurant is open 6 evenings per week [not on Thursdays].
All meals are prepared using fresh produce, much of which is grown for the house in small-holdings nearby, and herbs are from the house's own garden.
In sole charge of the kitchen, Gordon creates variations on classical French cooking with strong Scottish overtones.
A delicious meal should always be complemented by good wine and the carefully chosen wine list provides something for all tastes.
The restaurant is recommended every year by the Good Food Guide.
The dining room is ideal for special occasions and private dinner parties throughout the year, be it a birthday, wedding, conference, family get-together or a winter break.
