Cameron House on Loch Lomond

Went recently for afternoon tea and was so dissappointed. On arrival parking was shocking for the size of place fortunately we were driving out to park on street when someone was coming out. There is no denying the grounds are beautiful and well maintained and this is where the 5 star experience stops. There is a lot of staff mulling around very busy and the valet was the only one asking if he coud help instructing us to go in the door we stood waiting to find out where to go. Seated at reserved table and given menus. There was about another 6 tables being used and the amount of people asking for food or for afternoon tea and disapoointed becuse it needs to be pre booked was alot this was even for residents. Needs better advertising of no food sold here. Now the food a small very luke warm sausage roll, 4 finger dried out sandwiches each which had clearly been sitting uncovered for a while as very hard bread. Fillings were basic and very little, 2 small oatcakes ,cakes extremely small (macaron was smaller than 10p) and lastly scones looked nice but very heavy doughy and undercooked that stuck to roof of mouth definately not worth £50 per head. This was a present that I gave to person with me I could have got better for £100. I gave 1 star for surroundings and 1 star for staff who were very pleasant. Not a 5 star experience which other places master better.

Make no mistake, the Cameron House Hotel is HUGE and has a corporate feel. It is not the quaint castle shown in the photos. There's a massive modern addition. We stayed in the older part, but it still felt like a Marriott...not the look and feel we had expected. That Saturday night, a wedding and a charity ball were going on...people everywhere. We were not made to feel special - - we were just another few bodies spending the night. We stayed in what they call a family room with a queen bed and a separate room with two bunk beds. It was lovely, very clean, with a view of the lake, and perfect for us. There was a cute box of toiletries and packets of puzzles and games for the kids. Beautiful, manicured grounds. So, the room itself was great. The negatives: carpets in the hallway are frayed - - not a good look. The buffet breakfast is like eating in a college cafeteria - - packed with people, noisy, virtually no service and average-at-best food. We ate at LaVista for dinner and it was no better.

A truly wonderful place. I accompanied my husband on a business trip and had the most amazing time. The hotel and surroundings were beautiful, staff attentive and super friendly and the views over the lake are like no other. Rooms very comfortable with all you would expect and food outstanding.

I lived there as a child when it was a private house belonging to the Telford-Smollett's. Now nearing 80, decided with friends to day visit and see what the years have done, to the old house and estate? The place (Hotel, grounds, facilities) is a kind of fun factory pretending to be up market whilst longing to be Disney. The whole could REALLY use an in-depth audit of facilities maintenance, services and customer care, with special focus on food - how is it possible to screw up boiled potato's, so hard they could have doubled a cannon ammunition?

This is truly a five star resort. The grounds are lovely, our suite is huge. All of the snacks and drinks in the room come with it and they refill everything each day. This only the second hotel I have ever stayed at that does that. Each night a different snack is placed on our table. We haven’t eaten then since we tend to dine early and they place it at turn down service. The two restaurants we have eaten at were only ok, but we have yet to eat at the fancy restaurant. The bathroom and tub are lovely as are l the hotel interiors. There is plenty to do- today we walked for 5 hours around the little town and up to the castle in the national park. We also plan to do falconry and horse back riding.
