Durchschnittliches Hotel am Loch Momond
Ein auf Umwelt bedachtes und auf Wanderer eingerichtetes Hotel, etwas abgelegen auf der nicht so frequentierten Seite des Loch Momond mit eher wenig Komfort. Essen im Restaurant erhältlich, sowohl Frühstück (etwas schlicht) als auch Abendessen (Durchschnitt).

Isolated location the hotel cabin rooms are functional although not exactly on the shores of the Loch. The restaurant menu is unusual and there are alternatives a short drive away.

Shame fairy lights on all night as the blinds didn’t quite fit the window so lights shining in room.
Restaurant- lovely meal, brilliant friendly service there. Well deserved tip. The hotel wasn’t ageist but it’s very much a young weekend stay for young couples/singles. I was the only oldie in Coffee shop this morning too. No complaint but might help other solo travellers.

We loved this place! Perfect location with a killer restaurant downstairs. Room 81 is basically an entire apartment with views of Loch Lomond. Don’t miss this awesome place if you come to hike the Ben Lomond

Balmaha- lovely little place to visit
We had a lovely one night stay at this hotel in Balmaha. Can highly recommend staying here and the food in the restaurant in the evening was also really good. Cafe next door had great coffee and icecream and a good bacon buttie in the morning for breakfast. Can highly recommend everything here . Remember to take a walk round the edge of the loch as well and climb the small hill for lovely views !
