Cameron-House-Loch-Lomond-PA-Life-Spotlight-on-Scotland

Scotland is a country with a wealth of history that captivates a world-wide audience, breathtaking views, vibrant cultural scene as well as world-class facilities, making it a top destination for meetings and events. PA Life visited some of the best loved resort venues in Scotland to savour the flavour of this amazing country. Our Spotlight on Scotland feature took us to the five-star Cameron House by Loch Lomond, a perfect setting to admire the lakeside views and to savour all that this wonderful hotel and event venue has to offer…

Set within 400-acres of beautiful Scottish countryside, on the world-famous banks of Loch Lomond,ย  discover the best of Scotland with a bonnie stay at the five-star hotel and resort. We had the pleasure of staying the night at Cameron House, sampling some of the delights from the restaurantโ€™s menu and taking a dip into the award-winning Cameron Spa, along with touring the resortโ€™s stunning event spaces.

Cameron House is located a short distance from the transport hubs in Glasgow, making it an ideal spot for events โ€“ whether a conference, executive retreat or team building break. Home to a selection of event spaces and with a plethora of activities right on the doorstep, from jet-skiing and boat cruises to golf and hiking, youโ€™ll be spoilt for choice. Once the day is done, retire to one of the hotelโ€™s 208 elegant bedrooms,ย  including 28 prestigious suites, and make the most of its impressive range of restaurants and bars.

Located a short transfer ride away (a regular shuttle runs direct from the hotelโ€™s entrance to the spa and golf course), experience ultimate luxury and succumb to tranquillity at the Cameron Spa. With world-class facilities and breath-taking views over the golf course, the spa offers an array of experiences and treatments for guests to book, from refreshing facials to recharging massages. For pure bliss, we enjoyed the Thermal and Hydro experience, which allows two-hour access across the spa to take advantage of its various saunas and steam rooms, ice fountain and pools, including the 20-metre indoor relaxation pool and the scenic rooftop infinity pool.

Dining options at Cameron House by Lock Lomond

During the stay, PA Life dined at the Cameron Grill, located at the heart of the hotel. An intimate setting which overlooks the loch, the menu showcases local Scottish fare, including a selection of dry-aged steaks off the grill. A gastronomic experience for the palate, dishes showcased locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, ranging from Aberdeenshire lamb rump and pan-seared Orkney scallops to West Coast whole lobster in garlic butter and 16oz chateaubriand to share. Cameron House also plays host to three further restaurants, including the Tavern bar, the Clubhouse, and Italian restaurant La Vista, which opened earlier this year right on the edge of the loch. There is also the Monarch Room, available to book for events and private dining, and also hosts seasonal pop-up supper-clubs. For a pre/post dinner tipple, head to the whisky-focused bar, Great Scotsโ€™ Bar, which boasts an impressive array of the Scottish spirit alongside inventive cocktails.

Activities on and off the loch, and in the sky

With plenty to see and do on loch, land and sky, Cameron House offers a huge range of activities, guaranteed to make every stay different. Perfect for team building and away days, stay and play with a jam-packed itinerary to complement your business meeting or event. Cameron Houseโ€™s dedicated event team are on hand to help create an experience suited to your needs, with all activities thoughtfully curated to provide a high level of inclusion and fulfilment for everyone.

Take your pick from adventures across the water with loch cruises, jet skiing and paddle boarding, or head to hills with options of bike rides, hikes, 4×4 off-road driving and pony trekking. There is even a sea plane to book if you want to take your event to the skies! Avid golfers can make the most of the contoured landscape on one of two golf courses; the nine-hole Wee Demon and the championship 18-hole course, The Carrick, with packages for golf days and tuition courses. During our tour, we also got to peek into the hotelโ€™s 29-seat cinema, which regularly shows film classics alongside new releases, which is located a short distance from the Leisure Club and gym, available for all hotel guests to enjoy.
