Welcome
Our beautiful setting on the shores of the Lake of Menteith is home to 18 holiday properties and has been run by our family for 45 years; we live on the estate and so are always around.
None of our buildings have full disabled access but we are very willing to try and help and have various moveable aids such as a shower chair, stool, ramp and fixed hand rails.
To follow are notes on our biggest property but even in our Log cabins we have had many visitors with different disablilites who've told us they very much enjoyed Lochend.
Contact us by phone +44 1877 385268 or email victoria@lochend-chalets.com to let us know if you'd like more information.
