Nestled on the picturesque banks of Loch Lomond, the historic Cameron House hotel offers a quintessential and luxurious Scottish escape, beloved by former US President Barack Obama and perfect for fans of TV's The Traitors seeking that atmospheric backdrop.
A Grand Welcome Steeped in History
Just a 40-minute drive north of Glasgow, this grand mansion-style hotel provides a memorable arrival. On weekends, guests are greeted by the stirring sound of bagpipes at the entrance, while staff don traditional tartan uniforms. The property's origins date back to the early 18th century, and its past includes a surprising stint as a bear park before evolving into a world-class resort.
Its guest book reads like a who's who of global figures, having hosted luminaries such as Sir Winston Churchill, former President Barack Obama, and football legend Sir Alex Ferguson.
Luxury Amenities and Culinary Delights
The estate is a destination in itself, catering to all tastes with around 200 rooms and suites, self-catering lodges, a cinema, a family-friendly indoor pool, a golf course, and a luxury spa. A morning at the spa is highly recommended, where you can unwind in steam rooms, bubbly pools, or try a detoxifying rasul mud treatment.
When it comes to dining, Cameron House boasts an impressive array of options. The Cameron Grill serves classic dishes including perfectly cooked Scottish beef, while La Vista by the marina offers exceptional Italian cuisine. For drinks, The Tavern provides a relaxed sports bar vibe, and the Great Scots' Bar features unique cocktails inspired by famous Scots, whose portraits line the walls.
Exploring Loch Lomond and Beyond
No visit is complete without booking the hotel's renowned champagne cruise on Loch Lomond, the UK's largest lake by surface area. As you sip local fizz, you'll learn fascinating facts about the loch, from a nudist colony and a Game of Thrones actor's house to an island surprisingly inhabited by wallabies.
The charming resort town of Balloch is a short stroll away, and the hotel serves as the perfect gateway for adventures into the breathtaking Scottish Highlands.
Room rates at this iconic destination start from £285 per night for bed and breakfast when booked directly, offering a slice of Scottish history and modern luxury on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
