Hermione and Hugh Spencer warmly welcome guests to stay for bed and breakfast at their family home just off the A811 which goes around the south side of Loch Lomond in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

Ashfield House is a fine Georgian house built in 1820, set in its own grounds of ten acres with mature trees and shrubs and with a walled garden. The trees slope down to a paddock where Hermione keeps ponies and from there it's a twenty minute energetic walk to the top of the hill and down to the shores of Loch Lomond.

Hugh is particularly knowledgeable about Scotland and is very happy to give advice and guidance to guests about touring in Scotland. From where can you see the best view of Loch Lomond? Hugh knows the answer!
