Wester Auchraw Croft B&B

A Magical Summer Escape in the Heart of Scotland's Soul 5 stars isn’t enough, this is a place that stays in your heart forever. From the moment we arrived at Wester Auchraw Croft, we knew we were stepping into something truly special, not just a stay, but an experience that quietly changes you. Nestled in the rolling beauty of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, the yurt is a sanctuary of calm, charm, and timeless magic. Imagine waking each morning to birdsong and soft light filtering through the canvas, with the scent of wildflowers on the breeze. The yurt is rustic yet deeply comfortable, blending natural textures and thoughtful touches that instantly make you feel at home. What made the experience even more unforgettable was our incredible host. So warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming, not just to us, but to our dogs as well! We were made to feel like family from the moment we arrived. It’s rare to find someone who creates such a deep sense of hospitality and connection, but that’s exactly what we found here. Our days were filled with adventures on the loch, hikes through breathtaking hills, and quiet evenings by the fire. And the croft itself, a beautifully preserved Cruck Framed Croft, is a living piece of Scottish heritage. You feel the history in the stones, the wood, the very air. If you're looking for something real – a place to connect with nature, history, and yourself, this is it. The yurt in summer is pure enchantment, and we left with full hearts (and two very happy dogs!).

Very lovely place to stay We loved staying in the yurt! We were walking the Rob Roy Way and treated ourselves to a bed for the night. Melanie was a really relaxed host and very welcoming, and made a killer breakfast in the morning which set us up well for a day of walking.

Expensive for what it is. A night in a tent in a garden for £140 is a bit expensive specially for the quality of it. Floor uneven and cracked, and smelt a bit dump. Bathroom (in main house) is a bad design and water goes everywhere. We wanted to ask the owner questions, while they were in their private room, and as soon as we tried to get their attention, they went quiet and ignored us. They must have been able to hear me. I found it rude.
