Karma Lake of Menteith Hotel

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the hotel during their Festive Week celebrations. From wine and cheese evening on Monday, live music on Christmas Eve, a fabulous Christmas day lunch to Boxing Day brunch, I thoroughly enjoyed my solo stay-cation.  The location: Nothing can beat having my breakfast with a view of the lake. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be during the summer months. The food: Every single meal I had was cooked to perfection. Breakfast - Eggs Royale, Scrambled Eggs with Salmon Dinner - Cullen Skink Risotto and Scallops, Haggis, neeps and tatties with whiskey sauce Brunch - Grilled halloumi, avocado and poached egg on a sourdough toast. The poached eggs with a jammy centre really scored extra points since I am personally not a fan of a runny centre. The cullen skink risotto was a first for me and I would go back for seconds if i could. The Haggis with the whiskey sauce was my favourite and I did go back for seconds. No pictures since I was too busy enjoying it. And finally the Christmas lunch: ham hock terrine for starters, a full roast for the mains and sticky toffee pudding for the dessert. Chefs Joe and Paul truly outdid themselves with this one. I am still dreaming about the gravy.  The service: Now this is my second visit to this hotel and I was delighted to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. I must start with Millie at the reception, who was patient with all my concerns and queries prior to my stay and after I was shown to my room. Other special shootouts: Nicola for breakfast service, Erin, Chantelle, Catherine and Bryony at the bar. Noteworthy mention: Aindi for holding down the fort on his own on Christmas evening and supplying us with wonderful cocktails. Even ones that weren't on the menu.  And last but never the least, Chris and Blue from guest relations, thanks for making sure this solo traveller never felt lonely. The entire restaurant and bar staff did an incredible job making sure that the service was running smoothly even during the busiest hours.

As a Fractional owner of Karma, we were invited to a curated event at Karma lake of Mentieth. My wife Kiran and I were treated to an incredible experience by the staff of the resort, we were met by Josh the Manager, who was superb throughout our 3 nights stay. We joined up with Gary and Adrian of Karma for 2 rounds of golf at the most beautiful courses i have played. The food was exceptional , prepared by the resident chef Joe, who was so attentive and clearly takes immense pride in his work. We tried a variety of single malt whiskies that are available at Karma, the wines and copious amounts of food. We were thoroughly spoilt by all the team, the bar staff were lovely as were all the restaurant and Hotel staff. Close to St Andrews , Gleneagles and so many Whisky distilleries, which we visited and enjoyed very much, thanks again to the Karma team. The Location of Karma is superb, right on the lake and its so beautiful, the rooms are well appointed and the facilities are numerous. There are too many high points to mention but i would not hesitate to go back and enjoy it all again. What a place, congratulations to Karma, this place will soon become another Jewel in your ever increasing crown if its not already. A massive thank you to Josh, Gary, Adrian ,Joe and everyone else at Karma for a superb trip. Urmesh and Kiran Gohil

Lovely relaxing hotel and location. Our room (Osprey) was spacious, had great views and had the comfiest bed. Bathroom a bit tired but fully functional. Jamie served us in the restaurant several times and was a credit to the hotel. He was helpful, polite and went the extra mile. Thank you to all the staff.
