MGM Muthu Hotels – Muthu Ben Doran Hotel
The Ben Doran surrounded by Alpine forests boasts of a gorgeous mountain view, nestled in its own sheltered seven-acre garden in the mountain village of Tyndrum on the northern edge of the Loch Lomond National Park. The hotel was built creatively with the unique feature of having the dining room and lounges on the top floor to offer guests spectacular views of the beautiful scenery. Another masterful touch can be found in the design of the bedrooms which are extremely spacious and boast all the comforts you need to make your stay at The Ben Doran as tranquil and relaxing as possible. Tyndrum is sited on the Scottish Goldfield and, in 1997, a team of geologists found a gold seam only two miles from the village.

Or maybe you've heard about our carrot cake, widely considered to be the best in the area. Prefer something a little more substantial? How about Macaroni, made right here in our kitchen to our secret recipe with Lockerbie mature cheddar cheese and durum pasta? Handmade chips? Of course you can... you are assured of a warm welcome, good food and something just a little bit...magic.
