Housed in a building that dates back to 1600 that underwent loving
restorative work in 2008, this hotel comprises two 3-storey
buildings offering a total of 128 rooms of which 25 are suites. The
hotel is the ideal retreat for those wishing to escape the city
stresses. Guests are able to gain access to the hotel gardens and
facilities include a foyer with a 24-hour reception desk, a safe, a
cloakroom and a lift as well as a café, a bar, a games room
and 3 restaurants. It is possible to pay a visit to the in-house
beauty parlour and hairdressing salon and business guests are
offered multi-functional conference facilities (capacity of 10 -
250 persons). Fees apply for the bicycle hire service, room and
laundry services, use of the Internet and WLAN. There is a kids'
club (for an additional fee) and a playground for younger guests.
Those arriving by car may take advantage of the hotel car park.
Rooms
All rooms provide a warm, safe and snug haven away from the
elements, an elegant blend of contemporary design with a graceful
nod to the Loch's wild and baronial past. Each Classic room
features monsoon showers, plasma TV, free broadband, iPod docking
stations, supremely comfortable beds with Egyptian cotton linen,
the fluffiest of bathrobes and gorgeous toiletries.
Restaurant & Food
Guests have a choice of four restaurants: the unequalled Cameron
Grill, the divine Boathouse or the inviting Claret Jug, the best
19th hole in Scotland. A stunning restaurant, the Cameron Grill has
taken hotel dining to another level. The open plan kitchen also
demonstrates the dedication to making the entire experience an
unforgettable one from start to finish. In complete contrast is the
light and airy setting of The Boathouse. The Boathouse's
décor is a nod to New England style, with stunning views out
over the marina and the loch itself. The Claret Jug offers a more
informal and relaxed environment, perfect for home-made burgers and
steak pies to fill you up after a bracing round of golf, or a
deliciously fresh salad to give you that nourishing boast after a
wallow in the spa. For a more formal dining experience, Martin
Wishart at Loch Lomond is a must. The second restaurant for the
Michelin star chef opened in December 2008. The world-renowned chef
has a long association with Cameron House, having worked as a Chef
de Partie there when the hotel opened in 1991. The menu consists of
seasonal dishes created in traditional and modern French style of
cooking, complimented with an expertly selected wine list,
impeccably served.
Activities & Sport
Leisure options include a lagoon-style indoor pool with a separate
children's area, a Jacuzzi, a sauna and steam baths. Various
exercise classes and yoga courses are on offer on a daily basis.
There are squash courts to make use of and, outside, tennis courts.
It is possible to try out archery or to go quad biking. The hotel's
private yacht takes guests on daily trips on Loch Lomond.
Comments
