About this property
Art HoMe iN BalQuhidder GleN
Peaceful Artistic Home in the Heart of Balquhidder Glen
CRAGMHOR is a peaceful and artistic retreat nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Balquhidder Glen. With views of the surrounding mountains and ever-changing skies, it’s a place where you can truly slow down and reconnect with nature. The house is filled with character and creativity, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Guests are welcome to use the kitchen and dining room to make tea, coffee, or prepare meals, and to enjoy them in the cosy dining space while soaking in the view of mountains, birds on feeder & wildlife just outside the window.
The Braes of Balquhidder are reached via a scenic single-track road off the A84, lying at the northernmost edge of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is steeped in myth, history, and spiritual significance. Four miles west of the village, along the glen, lies the magnificent Loch Voil, near the acclaimed Monachyle Mhor.
Steeped in Celtic mythology, the area was long considered a “thin place”—a realm where the boundary between the physical and spiritual worlds is barely perceptible. The glen is home to the ruins of the original Balquhidder Kirk, built in 1631, which contains the grave of the legendary outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, who once roamed these hills. Within the current church, built in 1855, lies the headstone of St. Angus, a 7th-century missionary credited with bringing Christianity to this sacred corner of Scotland.

About the host
Hosted by Shammi
I’ve been welcoming guests to Cragmhor since 2009 as bed & breakfast and now as a self catering.
Why they chose this property
It has a peaceful magic that’s hard to describe, the mountains, the light, the stillness, the wildlife… it’s a place that invites you to slow down and breathe. The sense of space and natural beauty here is incredibly grounding, and I knew it was the kind of place I wanted to call home and to share with others through hosting.
What makes this property unique
What makes Cragmhor truly unique is the blend of peace, natural beauty, and artistic charm that welcomes you the moment you arrive. Nestled in the heart of Balquhidder Glen, surrounded by dramatic hills, ancient woodlands, and birdsong, it’s a place to slow down and reconnect with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
Throughout the house, you’ll find original artworks, and creative details that reflect the spirit of the artist and the personality of the home making every corner feel thoughtful and inspiring.
Whether you’re sipping tea on the decking, spotting red deer on the hillside, walking to Rob Roy’s grave, or unwinding in the nearby private sauna, you’ll find space here to breathe deeply and simply be.
With a long-standing tradition of warm hospitality since 2009, and personal recommendations for food, hikes, wild swims, and hidden gems, Cragmhor is more than a place to stay, it’s an experience from the heart.
