Ardlui Hotel

Loch Lomond


This pub and hotel has a great lochside location and a view of Ben Lomond at breakfast. The rooms are decorated in classical Scottish country-comfort style and there are self-catering lodges available too, as well as cabins, static caravans, glamping pods and tent pitches. The hotel serves fairly standard bar meals, but it's a nice place to sit outside with a drink.

They also operate a boat service in season that'll pick you up from Ardleish on the West Highland Way and drop you off again in the morning.
