Cameron House, Dunbartonshire
On the banks of Loch Lomond, this resort surely has to be one of the UK’S most romantic venues, whose levels of luxury in many ways provide the ultimate Great Escape.
However, as impressive and stylish as it is, the actual resort plays second fiddle to its sensational Loch Lomond setting.
Visitors get every chance to discover the surroundings: the resort’s marina provides a departure point for a Loch Lomond cruise aboard its luxury motor cruiser Celtic Warrior while the more adventurous can head to the pontoon in front of the hotel to jump aboard the Loch Lomond Seaplane.
With a collection of restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Martin Wishart at Loch Lomond, activities and facilities you’ll never be short of something to do. Indeed literally down the road, you’ll find the stunning par-71 Carrick golf course and award-winning Spa.
Designed by Canadian architect Doug Carrick and next to private Loch Lomond GC, The Carrick is a quality parkland-woodland combination enjoying significant changes in elevation – the 14th, played from a tee high in the woods to a green 100ft below, is a gem of a par 3. The next, a par 5 along the loch, is equally special.
The hotel’s 130-plus rooms and suites are individually furnished and, if you really want to do Loch Lomond in style, check out the ultra-elegant Whisky suites.
