It's the kind of hotel where the grounds are enough to entice you to stay. You could drive an hour to Glasgow if you are staying a few days and fancy a city vibe, otherwise enjoy long walks or hikes in the mountains or a stroll in the well-kept gardens. We hired a bike from the hotel and cycled through scenic parks alongside Loch Lomond to a small shopping precinct with a café.
By car: over 4 hours from Manchester, 7 hours from Bristol and under 8 hours from London. Free parking available.
By train: trains run from Glasgow or Edinburgh to Balloch station. It's a 10-minute drive to the hotel. Book trains to Balloch.
The imposing façade has been lovingly restored from chimney stacks to towers, where elements were beyond repair and moulds were taken to replicate. There's a seamless blend between old and new; original fireplaces juxtaposed with gold-topped contemporary tables and sumptuous gold wallpaper adorned with nature-inspired illustrations. Quirky colourful patterns on soft furnishings from local designers add a fun addition.
From offering to bring the rest of our tea after dinner to finish in our rooms, to the incredibly informative and innovative sommeliers in the restaurants, to the smiling and friendly breakfast waiters, the staff made a good impression and looked very smart and uniform in the Cameron House tartan.
