Wester Auchraw Croft is a rare historic Highland croft beside Loch Earn, offering two peaceful guest rooms and a cosy garden Mongolian yurt. Set within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, it is a warm and characterful base for walking, cycling, photography, watersports and exploring the Highlands. Guests can stay in But ’n’ Ben, a double room with private entrance and ensuite shower room; Sundoor, a generous light-filled double with access to a shared bathroom used by no more than one other couple; or the garden yurt, with a double bed, log-burning stove, electricity and relaxed seating. Breakfast is generous and seasonal, with eggs from our hens and herbs and greens from the croft garden whenever available. National Cycle Route 7 and the Rob Roy Way are nearby, with Loch Earn close for paddleboarding, kayaking, wild swimming and scenic days outdoors. In autumn and winter, the croft is especially welcoming for guests escaping the city — quiet roads, crisp walks, fireside evenings and a peaceful Highland atmosphere.
