Lodge on Loch Lomond

I stayed at this wonderful hotel for one night.
My partner and I had a brilliant top floor room with a balcony overlooking the loch– it was absolutely stunning!
The room was spacious, comfortable and had all the necessary facilities.
We particularly liked the quirky idea of having the bath and the shower in the same room as the bed– it made for an interesting experience!
We dined in the restaurant and it was fantastic! The variety of food and wine was great and the quality was second to none.

I’ll have break my review into separate sections: —
The hotel itself is stunning, in one of the most beautiful settings in the country, the facilities were what you would expect from a 4 star hotel, we had upgraded our room and had our own private sauna in our room and balcony facing the loch! Perfect!
The restaurant faces the loch and the food was fantastic! although the beef cheek main and duck were slightly under seasoned. Service in the restaurant was what prevented me giving this place 5 stars. It was a bit chaotic at times. Like our starters arrived before our drinks, our mains arrived within seconds of our starter plates being removed and our empty main plates sat on our table for around 10 mins before a half hour wait for our dessert. In fairness the restaurant was very busy but the fact we are considering this as a wedding venue put some doubts in our mind.
We had a chance meeting with the hotel manager Nigel the following morning after breakfast. He was very friendly and shared his vision and plans for the hotel. He also afforded us a late checkout to make final use of the hotel’s leisure facilities and of course a final shot of our private sauna.
I hope the plans for the hotel come to fruition particularly in relation to the wedding facilities!
We will be visiting the wedding open day to see how the changes are getting on and likely book a further overnight to see how the service is before deciding if this is the place we want to host our wedding!

We were just passing through on a tour and enjoyed a quick lunch at The Lodge. And, unfortunately, the weather wasn’t much to get excited about. But, the grounds and accomodations here looked spectacular: golf course, gorgeous lake and fabulous grounds and buildings. I would definitely stay here and when I looked at their website later — it looks like the interior of the cottages is as modern and luxurious and they appear from the outside.
The food: no complaints; everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered. The local oysters got rave reviews and my salmon was very tasty. I’d return.

The Lodge on Loch Lomond is a truly unique hotel. It is situated in Luss which is about 30 minutes from Glasgow city centre. The scenery surrounding this four star hotel is truly breathtaking and makes you feel proud to be Scottish. The hotel sits right on the edge of the loch with nothing but beautiful hills for as far as the eye can see. Even on a typically drizzly Scottish day it looks stunning. It’s hard to believe all of this is so close to the hustle and bustle of the city.
All the rooms and suites in the hotel have a different theme and when I have visited this hotel I have always stayed in one of the Munro rooms. I found them to be a perfect blend of the traditional and the modern, good woolen Scottish blankets on the beds, paintings of the local surroundings on the walls, stuffed bears sitting beside your pillows but also a plasma TV, DVD player, leather couches and immaculate wet room style bathrooms.
The dining room is terrific. It has huge floor to ceiling windows giving panoramic views of the Loch which give the impression that the room is floating on the water. The food is delicious and modern European in style. If you can’t push to a stay in the hotel it is worth taking a drive up just to pop in for some lunch or dinner.
I have been to a wedding in this hotel and the couple got some stunning pictures due to the fabulous surroundings. The hotel is also very flexible and willing to meet most requests to make your wedding day special and personal.
The Lodge on the Loch has an awarding spa which unfortunately I have never had a treatment in. However some facilities are open to all hotel guests as a matter of course and they are fantastic and immaculate. I have used the laconium, Turkish hamman and the Finnish sauna, absolute bliss!
