On the east shore of Loch Lomond, this award-winning family-run country inn is constructed from locally quarried slate and offers a perfect tranquil location for a romantic or relaxing break. Standing in the shade of a magnificent 500-year-old oak tree, this traditional bar/restaurant is ideal for those who would like to escape from the rush of modern day life. The non-smoking inn is adjacent to the West Highland Way and is ideal for walkers. After a long day spent exploring the region’s magnificent scenery and breathing in the invigorating fresh air, guests can satisfy hard-earned hunger with a delicious meal. Food is served all day and the bar has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and a real log fire. A full cooked buffet breakfast is served at the Inn and there is free on-site parking. All of the traditional bedrooms are individually decorated and have a private bathroom. Some rooms are in nearby cozy cottages. Relax and enjoy the natural tranquility and stunning scenery of one of the most beautiful and romantic places in Scotland.
