Cameron House
"A five-star resort at the southern end of the glorious Loch Lomond, a stay here is a stay of total immersion. First there’s the outdoor activities on offer—from paddle boarding on the loch to mountain biking in the surrounding forest to golf. Next there’s the indoor activities in the Cameron Leisure Club—two pools, a gym, sauna, and steam room. Then there’s the eating activities—six restaurants to choose from including the indulgent Cameron Grill—it does what it says on the cover—and high end Tamburrini & Wishart. Cameron House is dreamy, in part for its location and breath-taking views and in part for its blend of baronial grandeur and modern luxury. Reopened after a devastating fire in 2021 it’s got independent lodges popular with families away from the main 17th century mansion and numerous fine rooms within that auld house. Two elegant lounges around the main reception hold deep velvet sofas, and the décor is all original or recreated oak panelling, intricate cornicing, 19th century fireplaces and granite flagstones. There’s a fabulous art deco bar, dripping chandeliers, and gold chinoiserie wallpaper by Timorous Beasties. It’s like London’s Ritz in the Scottish Highlands. Then there are the bedrooms. Trendy grey-style palette, colorful headboards and cushions and thick throws. Generous, reassuringly expensive bathrooms have Carrara marble sinks and cast-iron bathtubs. Massive double beds are warm and inviting. And don’t worry if you’re missing the city too much—Glasgow’s George Square is just 35 minutes away. Perfect."
