loch lomond, scotland

Loch Lomond, only 45 minutes drive from the hotel, presents the perfect holiday location, set amidst one of Scotland 's most idyllic and unspoilt areas with the largest expanse of fresh water in Britain and the backdrop of the mountains looming beyond.

It is also ideally situated for touring within Scotland with The Highlands to the north of the Loch , the West Coast and Islands a short drive away and Central Scotland , Glasgow and Edinburgh to the east.

Loch Lomond must be the world's most famous Loch and has been much written about, both in song and verse. The area is renowned for its beauty and tranquility and offers picture postcard views around every corner.

Along with the beautiful Trossachs, the Loch Lomond area is Scotland 's first designated National Park, known as Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The National Park feels worlds apart from the bustle of city life. Yet it's less than an hour from Glasgow and not much more from Edinburgh. A place of contrasts, it covers four distinctly different and special areas:

• Ben Lomond standing guard over Loch Lomond , the largest expanse of freshwater in Great Britain
• The Trossachs, wild glens and sparkling lochs between Callander and Aberfoyle
• Breadalbane, the high country of the north, with some of Scotland's finest munros, Ben Lui, Ben Challum, Ben More and Ben Vorlich
• The Argyll Forest of the Cowal peninsula watched over by the Arrochar Alps and bordered by sea lochs.
