An ideal base for activity holidays in Scotland
The Luib Hotel is brilliantly located for outdoor activities such as fishing, walking, and golf. And it offers the home comforts that active people appreciate when they return to base - a 'dry room', well-appointed guest rooms, a hot steamy shower, quality in-house dining, a relaxing atmosphere in the bar with a roaring log fire when the night is chilly, and for additional warmth, a range of more than 50 fine single malts to choose from.
Walking
The summit of Ben More, whose bulk dominates Glen Dochart, is just over 4 miles away.
Many more 'Munros' (Scottish hills over 3000ft) are within easy reach of the Hotel including Ben Lawers and the Lawers Massif. This group of seven Munros, is a National Nature Reserve because of the unique range of arctic-alpine plants. Other Munros within a ten mile radius include Cruach Ardrain, Ben Lui, Ben Oss, Ben Vorlich and Stuc a Chroin. But if you don't care for the uphill slog, there are also plenty of low-level scenic walks on offer, both locally and throughout Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The area is rich in bird life including majestic birds of prey and red deer can frequently be seen. In the forests you may spot red squirrels, and if you are very lucky, a pine marten..

Fishing
Scotland offers some of the best trout and salmon fishing in the world and the Luib Hotel, with its easy access to superb fishing in nearby streams and lochs, is the perfect spot for a fishing holiday. The Hotel has its own stretch of the famous River Dochart just behind the hotel and day fishing permits can be purchased from the Hotel - salmon £10, trout £5. Venturing a little further afield, boats can be hired in nearby lochs such as Loch Tay and Loch Earn. We can accommodate fishing parties, with overflow accommodation available in our well-equipped self-catering mobile home accommodation.
Golf
In Scotland, the home of golf, you are usually spoilt for choice when it comes to golf. Perthshire is particularly favoured, as evidenced by the fact that within 25 miles of the Luib Hotel, there are no less than twenty golf courses. All ranges of dificulty are catered for from hilly tough tight courses through to easy and pleasant parkland strolls. Killin golf course, a fine nine holer with breathtaking views, is the nearest of the five local courses.
