Just five minutes drive from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges is Loch Earn. Great for water sports and also wild water swimming. The Loch can be accessed from the south shore road, a beautiful winding road, where you can also access the start of the climb for the Munro Ben Vorlich, or from the A82 through Lochearnhead. Some of our recent guests fancied a quick dip and pulled up in a layby of the A82

We have a new attraction near the lodges at The Golden Larches Café, their "World Famous Shark Toilet", and it's not for the faint hearted if you want to spend a penny..... but we can certainly recommend their fare! Check out the photos, can you spot the aquatic cat? @thegoldenlarches

We had a very special returning guest this week at the lodge... Alfie.... the Black Headed Caique. Once again...Alfie was treated to forest walks, nuts for treats, and sun bathing on the decking...check out his holiday snaps :)

Monachyle Mhor and Mhor 84 are running their regular "fun" and "serious" run events again this spring and summer. Generally starting at Mhor 84 just a mile down the Route 7 cycle path from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges....where you can rest your weary feet in the hot tub :)

Whilst wandering down the Roy Roy Way above Mhor 84 from Balquhidder Mhor Lodges, we stumbled upon these three Peruvian visitors.... very handsome (or pretty), couldn't figure that one out.....did you know...antibodies from llamas were found to stop coronavirus entering human cells....
