Set in a stunning location on the banks of Loch Earn in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Achray House is the very deginition of a fairytale wedding venue. Highly rated for its 2AA Rosette restaurant, the focus is on seasonal ingredients, freshly prepared and using the best ingredients sourced as locally as possible. Julie M said: "We had our wedding ceremony at the lochside in front of the hotel which was spectacular. We then opted for a six course taster menu the chef had put together for us to suit our party and words cannot describe how wonderful it was. It would be fair to say everyone was blown away by the food."
