Beautiful lake. The boat trip is a must. A walk to the castle is pleasant and quite relaxing. This is a visit to a wonderful park. Not a walk on nature. Overall, I recommend the trip.

A place worth experiencing when you visit Scotland. Everything here is wonderful, from the natural scenery to the people. You can explore this place by both land and water.

What a beautiful place to explore. Had a cruise on the lake which is a must. On a good day you can walk around the loch and climb the Ben Lomond and do a scenic walk in one of the loch’s islands. Make sure you allocate enough time to be able to do most of the activities.

🌊 My Visit to Loch Lomond, Scotland Visiting Loch Lomond was a breathtaking experience. Located just about an hour from Glasgow, it is the largest freshwater loch in Scotland and part of the stunning Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Surrounded by rolling hills, forests, and charming villages, the scenery is simply spectacular. I enjoyed a leisurely walk along the shore, boat rides on the loch, and exploring the picturesque village of Luss. The calm waters, reflections of the hills, and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect spot for photography, picnics, and relaxation. Visitor Tips: Bring comfortable walking shoes for trails, and pack snacks or a picnic. Boat tours and water activities are available during summer months. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the best light for photos and fewer crowds. How to Reach: Loch Lomond is accessible by car via the A82 from Glasgow or by train to Balloch with onward local transport. Overall, Loch Lomond is a must-visit for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking tranquility amidst Scotland’s iconic landscapes.

Ok so the weather at the end of May was not so great ,but I drove up from Glasgow with a Loch tour booked to my amazment I got there way to early even though I had already been to Dunbarton Castle, but I asked at the kiosk if I could change my ticket and just like that the young lady siad aye there is a boat going in 5 mins so of I went on my second adventure in less than 4 hours.

Lovely scenery and it's a very large area so plenty to see if you are up for a bit of a walk

A beautiful lake, which is beautiful irrespective of the time of the day. It has boating and some water sports options to engage with the environment. Very peaceful to just sit by the side of water and let the waves (yes! Waves in the lake water) entertain you for a while.

A stunning place to visit. Just a few minutes walk from the train station, and you are in breath-taking scenery. There are lots of different walking trails. Dotted around the loch, there are children's play areas. There is also a castle and walled garden that you can explore. The nearest toilets are at the castle. There were picnic tables. There are hard surface paths around the loch. These are wheelchair accessible. Dog walking off lead is allowed.

This is amazingly beautiful place to do hiking, chilling by the water or doing water activities, it has it all covered. Little place called Luss, was a brilliant spot for us. Has got boat tours, little cafe and shop, parking and petrol station, town streets and houses are postcard perfect, the beach with white sand. Amazing experience. Weather in the morning didn't promise a nice day, but later sunshine appeared and it was lovely.

Breathtaking! A cross between North Carolina and Colorado. We came through in March and I can only imagine what the scenery is like here in the summer and fall. We were able to see a tremendous variety of flora and fauna, from vast swatches of some of the largest daffodils I have ever seen, to wild Scottish Red Deer, which look similar to a North American Elk. The weather, while cold and damp, was almost perfect for the time of year we visited. This is a bucket list item, for sure!

Truly a beautiful lake, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I can really tell the Scottish people take real good care of the lake too. Well worth a visit.

We were staying in Stirling and went on a day trip to see this area. It was amazing to see the beautiful highland landscapes and lowland rolling hills & drive through the villages.

Camping is allowed in this area as its outwith the Loch Lomond and Trossachs no camping zone. Parking at the Balquhidder church this route takes about an hour and a half walking. There isn't many good pitches at Lochan Eireannaich but I managed to find a good one.

Although far for most Englanders, this is a place of extraordinary beauty. Whether you like watersports, or hiking. Quick tips: 1. Always carry midge spray. Avoid DEET though. Midges usually are the biggest annoyance in and around the area. 2. If you booked a water taxi, make sure you call them ahead of schedule if the jeti they will pick you up from is busy.

A truly wonderful place – beautifully maintained, spotless, peaceful, and very welcoming. Scotland’s beauty is remarkable, and I would highly recommend visiting :) 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙃🙃🙃

Well worth the drive. Enjoy the tour of the loch. Amazing views and stunning geography. Close to Three Lochs Drive. For those with caravans, they have electric hookups available and a bath/shower lodge as well.

An absolutely beautiful place to visit. There's a nice welcoming café, toilets, bike rental or a nice walk around the loch and also boat rides. I went on the steam ship (sir Walter Scott) and it was super. Prices vary depending on what time slots you go for but it's worth it. Totally recommend.

Fantastic place. Very well organised. Parking and public toilets are very well organised. Was there last Saturday. Weather was brilliant. Did cruise on steamer. Recommend long walk.

Absolutely loved our outing here. Lovely boat cruise with wonderful friendly staff and crew. And the afternoon tea was amazing.

Love this place, nice cafe, plenty parking space, can do the boating trip, hire a electric or pedal bike to ride along the loch which has a nice road along the loch which goes all the way to loch Lomond. I have been to this place quite a few times over one decade, still whenever i come here feels very nice…. Oh… dont forget to make a wish, there is a wishing well in front of cafe… u cant miss it……

Had a fantastic little day at loch katrine. We took and guided boat tour where we were told everything about the loch in the way round. Very interesting. Beautiful views all around. The little gift shop was nice we bought a wee highland cow for my daughter. We visited the cafe which was very pricey but lovely views food and coffee and plenty room. Highly recommend for a day out.

Loch Lomond Shores offers a mix of shopping, dining, and activities by the loch, including the Sea Life Aquarium and Bird of Prey Centre, appealing to families. While intended as a vibrant hub with events and watersports, recent reviews suggest it currently lacks atmosphere and some facilities are not well-maintained. It's a convenient stop with potential, but perhaps not consistently delivering a top-tier experience.

Beautiful Scenery and Relaxing Atmosphere Visited Loch Lomond Shores recently and really enjoyed the natural beauty of the place. The views of the loch are stunning, especially on a clear day — perfect for a peaceful walk along the water. There’s a good mix of shops, cafés, and small attractions, which makes it a nice spot for families or a quiet day out. Parking was convenient, though a bit busy during peak hours. Some areas could do with a bit more maintenance, but overall the place felt welcoming and safe. A lovely spot to unwind and take in some classic Scottish scenery — just don't expect a full outdoor adventure unless you head further into the national park.

There's a shopping mall at the shore with shops and restaurants. There's a mini golf and an aquarium. There's also kayaking and boat cruises. Lovely view from the shore

Beautiful place! Long walks either side, during the spring/summer lots of water activites. During the end of summer is the food festival and near Christmas, is the Markets! Lots of parking, both coach and cars. Worth visiting to see the Ben in the distance.

I liked it here. Free parking. Some nice shops, large cafe and boat trips. I had a short walk around to the marina and back.

Great day out shops very clean staff very nice best for all free car park and and good walking roots beautiful hills

Haven't been here for many years and nice to see it is still up and running. Nice array of shops with the smaller gift and souvenirs type store to designer and labels. 2 cafes in centre and heaps of parking outside. The toilets were immaculate, child, nursing and disability friendly. Great location on the Loch with Sea Life Centre, Crazy Golf, Tours ticket office and Markets on 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month. The Loch Lomond Bird of Prey centre is only 100 mtrs away also.

Another great spot for Family. Toilets a bit far though and up the hill. Lovely play parks and lots of open green space to play all sorts of sports games or just to chill on a blanket. Stunning views. Very clear water. The only downside for us it was quite a lot of broken glass on the beach and my girls love walking bare feet. Staff tries their best to keep it clean but it is up to us actually to leave no print behind.

This charming and tranquil location is not very well-known among tourists, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of more crowded attractions. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the serene lake, which adds to the area’s natural beauty. Families will find a delightful playground for children, providing a safe and fun space for them to explore and play. Convenient facilities include clean restrooms located adjacent to the historic castle, ensuring comfort for all visitors. Best of all, parking is free, making it easy to spend a leisurely day soaking in the picturesque surroundings.

First time in this park despite my many visits over the years to Balloch. Wanted to go for picturesque dog walk & was not disappointed. Perfect time of year at autumn . Will be back more often 👌🏻

Great place for a walk and picnic. Stunning views of loch lomond. Grounds are spotlessand well maintained. The castle is closed to the public but if you have an interest in history or just like to visit beautiful buildings then its worth a visit if in the area. Public toilets are in the castle. If you walk down the hill towards the pier there is a kiosk if you want to grab an ice cream.

A lovely castle that is sadly rotting away. You are able to walk around the outside, and there are toilets available. The toilets were in good condition. It should be noted they close at 2.30 pm during the winter. There is a hard surface path to the castle, but it is up a hill, so it would depend on the wheelchair type and fitness of the user.

I find this park to be a wonderful spot with breathtaking views of Loch Lomond, scenic walking paths, and wide open areas perfect for picnicking or unwinding. Very clean and green area. Parking is big and free, there is a huge playground for the kids, cafe and ice cream shop

We were staying in Stirling and went on a day trip to see this area. We parked in the castle parking area for free anc walked around the ruins of the 13th century castle. It was barricaded. We walked the path leading to Loch Lomond and enjoyed the views. There was a playground near the lake and our kids & grandkids enjoyed the play set.

It takes 2.5 to 3 hrs to reach the top. It's totally worth it. The scenery is beautiful, just one tip to the people who are planning to hike there are 2 routes to reach the top the route which begins from left side of car park I mean which passes through a small beach , in that route near the top of Ben Lomond it gets very steep so be careful there. The right route is easy .

One of the most pleasant and rewarding mountain hikes I have had the pleasure of completing. Of moderate difficulty and suitable for hikers of all levels if you've got the time. The summit was very windy and 10-15C colder than the bottom, so bring layers. If you decide to do the full loop via the Ptarmigan Ridge, I recommend doing it counter-clockwise as going up the eastern side was more gradual and the path was more flat. It took us 5.5 hours to do the full loop, including a pitstop for lunch at the top.

Definitely one of the better mountains in Scotland but it's also one of the busiest. Offer unbelievable views. The hike up needs a reasonable level of fitness though

Bagged my first Munro yesterday and it just had to be the beautiful Ben Lomond on the stunning loch Lomond. We went right up the shoulder and then down the ptarmigan ridge. Wow wow wow. It took is 4 hours to reach the summit including small breaks and a half hour stop at the top. 2.5 hours to descent, with equally amazing scenery. Highly recommend this as a first Munro. Only 281 to go 💙⛰️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My first Munro! ☺️ what a lovely and rewarding mountain hike we had. You can see Loch Lomond while you hike and the views are spectacular.

A lovely hike for my first Munro. There's a couple of awkward spots but with a bit of care they are easily navigated. It's a continuous slope from start to finish. But the views at the top are stunning. We were lucky enough to do it with totally clear skies. If it has been raining extra care will be required as some of the rocks are slippery. It's also a busy walk so you definitely won't have the place to yourself.

Beautiful. The climb up to the peak is very challenging and at times I thought we should turn back. But we didn’t and I’m so glad. The views from the top are breathtakingly beautiful. There are some really tricky sections on the way up which I wouldn’t have managed without my husband’s help. Be prepared, if you’re not used to tough walking this isn’t for you. But I did it and I have a mobility problem. Take your time, don’t be in a hurry. It will get your heart pumping - literally - and take as many rest breaks as you need. It took us 8.5 hours to go to the peak and back down again, but we had allowed for that time. So glad we did it.

This was the first hotel we stayed at on our west highland way journey. Rooms were well maintained and clean. We shared a bathroom with one other room which wasn't bad. Staff was great and we were even able to check in early which was so appreciated after a long day. Dinner was fantastic. One of the best we had during our 12 days in Scotland.

We had an excellent meal for two here. Though they were extremely busy, all the young waiting staff were refreshing very attentive and with such a good professional approach. Not surprisingly the service was excellent and food well presented and delicious. Many thanks for making our last evening of our break in Loch Lomond feel special.

This is the second time we’ve eaten here and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is so lovely - cosy and quaint with nice decor too. The staff are friendly and made us feel welcome. The food was 10/10 - tons of choice, big portions and delicious. I had the seafood trio to start and it tasted so fresh. The salmon was incredible - full of flavour and presented beautifully. We had multiple cocktails too and every single one was really nice and presented well. We can’t recommend this place enough - it’s a treasure.

Booked a table for a party of five for lunch mid week. Booking was easy and done in a nice manner . On arrival we were greeted and taken to the restaurant where we decided on the table and then ordered a variety of things from the menu. Staff were both helpful and nice and patient ; they had to be ,decisions decisions were slow on our part . Food came and all looked very appetising ; it was good too and everyone was happy . I remember the food from years ago being very good and while the menu style had changed the quality is still very good . No hesitation to recommend and I look forward to returning. Thank you Clachan team .

Scottish hospitality at it's best! I stopped here a few times on my walking holiday and the staff and locals were so welcoming and friendly. They found a table for me and my dog in the bar when we arrived late, tired and hungry. We'll both be back.

Fantastic service from the minute we walked in. The team there seemed like a solid family. Atmosphere was fantastic. Cocktails where exceptional and the Irish stew was phenomenal. Top marks all round.

it was amazing! the food was great and they also have an entire gluten free menu. personally I had one meal off the specials of the week (which was also gluten free) the atmosphere is unique!!

This place is mental.. It was recommended to me by a friend back in 2015 and last week we were "finally" in the area and I suggesting going there to our group of friends. BIGGEST mistake I made in years! Don't get me wrong, the place looked quite unique and I really appreciated the looks. It's got decorations, a fire place, basically it felt authentic and welcoming - probably the reason why we stayed there instead of leaving... But it was also pretty cold inside, we were seated right besides the toilet on the other end from the fireplace, and the place was pretty much empty - on a Saturday night. This should have been a red flag right there. We asked for drinks but they ran out of red wine and only had 1 glass of white wine left. I ordered beer instead, they only had bottle Corona, for a price of £6 per bottle! Note, the price wasn't written anywhere and we were not given any menu. The chef came to us to tell the menu (I requested a paper option, wanted to see the prices, but he said they didn't have one) for the night was, we were given options from 2 dishes, all fire roasted. He was recommending the chicken dish and since one of my friends was a vegetarian we chose the vegetarian option for him. We had to wait around an hour for the food to actually come and by that time I was wondering whether I should even eat due to how late it was getting... When the food came I changed my mind, it was one of the smallest portions I've seen! There was a few vegetables, some cheese and a small piece of chicken wrapped in ham. My vegetarian friend got exactly the same - just no chicken! He was angry not getting actual protein-based food but was at least happy that we won't have to pay much, I mean it's just some veggies yeah? The bill came, £92 for 3 people, which is for 3 dishes and 3 drinks (2 bottled beers and 1 hot chocolate). I double checked the vegetarian option and to my surprise, it was exactly the same, £25 per portion. You must be out of your mind to charge £25 for a mushroom, a carrot, a potato, some pepper, some onion and a bit of cheese!! I am sorry, but this is a tourist scam place, you should be ashamed for doing what you're doing, basically profiting from people that are in the area and are not aware of what kind of place is this. Btw the owner was quite ok, he was energetic, chatty and friendly. Although at times it was a bit too much to handle, in the end we just wanted to be left alone due to his directness and awkwardness.. Edit: added the photo as proof of "how packed it was" on the saturday night. Can also see the hot chocolate on the wall was £5, mains were £25, the beer price isn't shown on the wall and no drinks menu provided to show this EVEN on their website, don't believe me - go and check. I also cannot show you the receipt since I wasn't provided one, because the place had to internet, I even had to pay them by a bank transfer as opposed to through the register since their machine wasn't working either. Also downvoted to 1 star due to the owner being rude instead of accepting their fault and apologising. Ah, of course you don't sell carrots, I just noticed that the vegetarian option is only potatoes, tomatoes and mushroom, which is even worse...

The Byre Inn did not disappoint last night. Thank you Jason for the amazing food the fillet steak was stunning, thank you for getting this in especially for us. There is always a wonderful atmosphere and brilliant vibe. We look forward to seeing you next time we are here.

Not open during published open hours. We tried to call in for a drink at 1 pm as a halfway stop on our hike on 10.10.24. The lights were on, the radio blaring and a dog barking, but no one answered. There was no closed sign, and their website said it was open, so we rang both website numbers to see if it was due to open soon - no answer. It seems it's not a place to pop in for anything without notice!

Lovely little place off the beaten track. Great service from the young boy working the bar and restaurant. We had soup and a burger each, both really nice, especially the sweet potato and chilli soup. Our dog was made to feel very welcome, as were we.

Me and my wife stayed in Scotland for 11 days in our camper van we visited this gem of a place to find a couple Jason and Sharon who own this fantastic venue. The food which we ordered was made fresh and piping hot, Sharron used her outside oven to cook a fantastic pizza and mouth watering steak. Jason entertained us with the upmost professionalism that after he allowed us to stay in there car park we decided to stay three nights the place was that unique If your visiting Scotland and want a warm welcome, a relaxed atmosphere cracking delicious food come here Thank you Jason and Sharon and good luck We will see you in November

Couldn’t fault the Byre Inn. Jason is a great host. Just had a meal for 2...beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Book in advance as it does get fully booked...it’s well worth it. We’ll be back on Friday!!

Yes, it's a quirky and unusual pub slightly off the beaten track. Check out the London Red Routemaster bus (Night route 29 to Camden!) parked outside... and yes, the hosts are welcoming and friendly. I liked the pub (having been once before around 2009 when it had a previous ownership). I only stopped for a drink and didn't eat. I enjoyed my low-alcohol cider, with a couple of frozen lime-slice ice cubes - a nice touch. But it was very pricey - £5 for a low-alcohol 500 ml bottle makes the cost of a soft drink £10 per litre! I think that's overpriced, when the average pub will serve a pint of normal cider (more than 500 ml) for around £4.50 to £5. A pity about the steep price of a non-alcoholic drink. I always expect some sort of mark-up, but this was overkill. Other aspects are good if you like rustic quirky pubs in a nice setting.

Taken here by a friend for my birthday lunch. Staff are delightful and friendly, couldn't fault them. Food was superb, beautifully cooked and presented. This place is a must-do on a food list.

(Detailed review below) Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Accessibilty ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Cost ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I came here recently on a Sunday with family/friends and had a really nice, relaxed time! It wasn't too busy (we had booked ahead because of our group size) and the vibe was cosy, casual and comfortable. There is an extension/outdoor area that was spacious and lovely but we were sat indoors in what I can only assume is the old mill (hence the name) and the space is a bit tight. There are sections that are wheelchair accessible but some passages are narrow or may have steps. I had the Sunday roast and really enjoyed it. The taste was great but I could have done with just a bit more roasted vegetables. Also, the knives weren't very sharp. Minor issues but something that could be improved on. My dessert (a chocolate mousse thing with a scoop of caramel ice cream) was delicious too! This place is pet friendly (indoors and outdoors) and we had a dog 🐶 with us that got some love by the staff (free water, doggy biscuits... plus lots of scratchings behind the ear). Overall, it's definitely a lovely stop even for a drink (they have a bar) and easily recommended to anyone!

The restaurant and pub is very popular in Killearn town. This 18th century former weaving mill is very charming and modern restaurant and has a beautiful rustic pub; reservations recommended during meal times! Well located with ample parking space at the back courtyard. Their service staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is freshly prepared, cooked to perfection and very delicious. Thank you for a wonderful meal; keep up the great work guys

Absolute gem of a spot. Beautiful location. Amazing food. Deserts to die for. Hilarious hosts. Highly recommend.

Just visited this pub with my dog and had such a lovely experience. The food was excellent. What stood out most, though, was the staff. They were warm, welcoming and genuinely friendly, not only to me and my family but especially towards my dog. A great spot if you’re looking for good food in a really dog‑friendly atmosphere.

Really dissapointed that we wasted our money here today. Just to be clear 2 courses with a drink each came to £94 thats with a 20% discount on one of the mains... let me tell you why. Our starters were nice, presented well and tasted good, however.. We ordered steaks for the mains, medium rare. Both steaks came out blue, myself not being fussy and not being approached to ask how our meals were I ate mine, my partner however couldnt chew through half of it, left over 75% of her steak. After a complaint to the waitress at the end about this only after she asked "are you finished there" instead of "how was your meal", she reported back to say the manager had taken 20% off of 1 of the mains only (totalling £6.80) although the steak was uneaten. Didnt make a dent in it. The mac and cheese was also so bland, did not taste of cheese what so ever. Horrible experience. (We had two, 3 course meals with 2 drinks each the previous day in glasgow, for a total of £88 and the food was far superior to here) just for reference.

Visited for a few meals last week with family. Excellent food, with some of the best steak I have had. Drinks are great too, and the atmosphere is cozy whilst being neither too formal or relaxed. A great place for good food and drink, I would recommend booking in advance, especially during tourist seasons. Thursday steak night has definitely been a hit for me, so I will be aiming to visit again soon!

A great little cafe right in the centre of this lovely little village it has both indoor seating and outdoor seating with clearly marked design designated tables for dogs We had two dogs and managed to find a lovely seat outside as the weather was overcast and we managed to stay well away from the other diners which was fabulous We ordered a chicken Cajun toasted sandwich which was very tasty And the scone was absolutely wonderful. It came with fresh butter, clotted cream and jam and it came out still slightly warm. It was very very very nice. I would definitely recommend it. The tea was also loose tea in a pot, which was very nice as well The cakes looked insane.

We stopped in for a coffee here and ended up trying a scone as well. Although a little over run by cyclists stomping around in their cycle cleats, the food is great and the coffee is strong. It’s certainly a popular place. It’s convenient since it’s right across A821 from free public parking. Eventually we got a little overcrowded by cyclists standing around our table and we left. If you’ve never been here, it’s worth a try. Maybe it’ll be a different experience on a different day.

This review should've been posted last week Monday as a thank you to the lovely staff at the station coffee. I don't think I'm a "Coffee Snob" but I do LOVE my coffee, so I'm super glad we popped into this little family run café for a light bite... because they make a damn GOOD one!☕ It was so good! I ended up leaving with a bag of their Mocha coffee beans to use in my own espresso machine. We came in with our two hungry little girls for a quick lunch and were surprised to find affordable options for a young family in a charming & peaceful space. It seems to be difficult nowadays to find healthy & delicious options that can feed a whole family without regretting the cost of it later, yet this place ticked all those boxes. From lovely, quick, helpful staff, (Taylor, Tim and colleagues), to yummy grub, simple & eclectic decor and of course clean facilities.. First thing my oldest asked was "do you have colouring paper and pens?" And the answer was, "sure, there's a table at the back, go help yourself" We ordered our coffee & food at the counter, and as we approached our table our coffee was already waiting for us! 😊☕ Both our girls, one with dairy intolerance had the delicious Lentil & Carrot soup (the best soup my Scottish partner has had in a very long time according to him!) that came with an added nice touch- a toasted, hot roll... I myself couldn't help but try the Korean BBQ Chicken Burger which was definitely worth every bite! and I wasn't even hungry... I also appreciated there was an option to order it without fries, which made it cheaper! But The Coffee... WOW! If you like good coffee, I strongly recommend. Even if it's busy and you feel like you've been waiting long - trust me. It's going to be worth it. In fact, If I was local, this would've been my usual coffee spot. I was told the owners grow their own coffee and it tastes like they know what they're doing... I Absolutely loved the Mocha blend. Haven't tried the others. Yet.. This little stop made a wonderful ending to our holiday. Thanks again Taylor & Tim, You gave great customer service! The Ground Coffee Beans work perfectly with my machine... Something special to look forward to on Saturday & Sunday mornings! I'm sure I'll be back! Lia

Stopped by on the bikes. Staff were pleasant and friendly along with the other visitors. My friend and I got two different toasties, which were both fantastic. Smoothie and iced latte were good, too. Prices are reasonable as destinations like this with many tourists can be terribly priced, yet this was cheaper than many large coffee and cafe chains. The coffee shop itself is beautifully decorated both inside and out - very aesthetically pleasing. Whoever was in charge of the tunes was spot on, too.

Nice stop for a quick lunch. We went for the haggis toastie and it was a great choice! Staff were really friendly and they had quite a bit of seating outside too which is great when the sun is shining!

Had a fab lunch here, with very reasonably priced food. I had a haggis & cheese toastie and my husband had loaded fries, both very good! Great service too. Would come here again next time we pass through!

Gorgeous little cafe in Aberfoyle. Food was delicious, and arrived quickly. Service was great, staff were so friendly We got the haggis, red onion chutney and cheese toastje and macaroni pie and it was superb. Paired with a peach iced tea. Came to around £14 - great!

A stylish bright cafe restaurant serving breakfast brunch light meals. Good amount of seating indoors and outside. Family and pet friendly. I enjoyed my bacon brie panini and mint pea soup, but found the potato so so. Would have been better with the cheese heated and melted over. A lot of parking outside. Was very packed on a Sunday lunch time.

I ordered the French toast topped with Chantilly cream and fresh fruit, and it was absolutely delightful. The toast was perfectly golden and crisp on the outside, yet soft and fluffy on the inside. The Chantilly cream was light and smooth, adding just the right touch of sweetness, while the fresh fruit balanced the dish beautifully with its natural tartness. Paired with a rich and well-made mocha, it made for a truly satisfying and indulgent breakfast. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something comforting yet elegant to start your day.

We passed this place on the way to Finnich Glen (Devil’s Pulpit) and decided to stop for lunch on the return and made a great choice. There’s a great range of sandwiches and tasted paninis, an interesting soup of the day (Thai tomato) and salad (seafood). We had the French Toast, which was lovely, and I had to fight off the urge to try all the cakes and slices which looked superb. The latte at the end was sensational - it’s worth the drive here just for the coffee. It’s a lovely modern cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, and staff were just wonderful - great service, lovely people, and absolutely superb in dealing with requests for a gluten free meal.

This is what you call a real hidden gem. We popped in for a spontaneous breakie while staying in Croftamie for an overnight, boy was it good! I mean, just look at that full breakfast! Need I say anything else?! We will be popping by again for sure!

Nice cafe,seated quickly. Pleasant service. Varied Menu, good coffee. Food was overall alright, the coleslaw and salad were the highlight of the meal. All in all, a much welcome rest stop after Conic Hill

Lovely tea room / licensed restaurant in Croftamie on the main road. Plenty of parking including disabled spaces. Easy access with the wheelchair into the premises and plenty of room to manoeuvre the wheelchair in the dining area. Lovely washrooms including an accessible facility. Very pleasant staff. A good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices.

This place is absolutely fantastic; it's my top favorite spot for enjoying a delicious breakfast and outstanding coffee. Every time I visit, I revel in the delightful food, especially the Egg Royale, which is the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, making the service fast and enjoyable. Plus, I adore the outdoor seating area, especially when the weather is beautiful and warm—it adds to the overall charm of this wonderful place.

If you're interested in whisky, do yourself a favour and book the Glengoyne Distillery Tour & Tasting; it’s hands-down one of the most enjoyable and educational experiences we’ve had in Scotland. From the moment you arrive, the setting is simply stunning. Nestled at the foot of Dumgoyne Hill and straddling the Highland Line, Glengoyne is unique in its geography, distilled in the Highlands, matured in the Lowlands. It’s picturesque, peaceful, and steeped in history. Our guide, Robert, was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely passionate about Glengoyne’s slow, deliberate approach to whisky-making. We walked away with a true appreciation for the craft, patience, and care that goes into every drop. And then; the tasting. Wow! Whether you’re a seasoned single malt aficionado or just curious to learn more, Glengoyne is the perfect place to dive in. It's intimate, authentic, and full of heart, no gimmicks, no over-the-top flash, just a world-class whisky made the right way. Thank you for a great experience on our honeymoon!

My wife and I did the malt masters experience and it was a blast! Our guide was Lorna who not only gave a great tour but was just an all around amazing person, she really made us feel at home and helped us as we tasted and smelled all the wonderful whiskeys before blending our own bottles! She even dipped them in wax so they look nice and official, the only downside to that is we don’t want to open them because they came out looking so good! While this was my wife’s first time visiting glengoyne it was my second and I specifically came back to it because of how kind the people are, how great their scotch is, and how beautiful the area is. If you’re a fan of scotch, or if it’s your first time in Scotland, this is the place to visit. I promise you won’t regret it!

We visited the distillery today and enjoyed the Glengoyne Tour and Tasting with Arthur, a fantastic guide and great story teller, who shared his passion for Scotch whisky with lots of charm and charisma. The distillery is in a beautiful location and the short walk up through the grounds leads to a nice wee waterfall. The 12 and 15 year old drams at the end of the tour were absolute liquid gold, and there is a well stocked shop where you can choose from a fine selection of Glengoyne single malts. We’ve visited so many distilleries over the years but this is definitely up there with the very best.

Nice distillery with very friendly people. A very unique place. We had a tour given by Diane, very funny knowledgeable person who includes the people in the tour. Whiskeys and chocolates were also of very high quality. In short, a must see for everyone.

Visited Glengoyne in September with a tour group. Jennifer, our guide was excellent in explaining the history of the distillery and describing the steps to produce the scotch. Afterwards, we were invited to dram tasting of a two different aged scotch. It was wonderful your. Of course, I couldn’t leave without purchasing a 15 year old bottle that will be opened on Christmas and shared with my family.

Tour & 2 drams tasting: An enjoyable tour and tasting with our incredible guide, Jennifer, Glengoyne offers a unique peak into Scottish Highlands whiskey. The tour was informative, enjoyable, and ended with our 2 dram tasting. I was impressed that the distillery offered takeaway options for those who were driving. The shop offered a nice discount for those who had paid for a tour/tasting, and additional (smaller) tastings are available in the shop for those curious to purchase. But honestly, we were so impressed by our guide, who is clearly passionate about both the products and her company, as well as relaxed, warm, and very friendly! 5 out of 5 stars!

Excellent tour guide Aidan took us on a very informative tour of this wonderful piece of Scottish heritage and even though im not a whiskey drinker it was great to see the production methods and also take in the wonderful smells- designated drivers get bottles for their tasters to take away and enjoy later.Aidan had lots of information and facts and was very happy to chat . We also enjoyed the waterfall that feeds the distillery

Not a huge drinker by any means, but when I do drink I like to try IPA’s & new trendy beers, I tried this one today from Loch Lomond Brewery & it was top notch! Freezing cold straight from the freezer, drank it in the back garden in the evening sun, a nice hearty beer with citrus hints & aftertaste throughout, everything down to the texture of the can was on another level, the perfect refreshment especially on a sunny evening, top class from Loch Lomond Brewery, right on the door step as well. Good job.

Looked for a tap house and found this. Located on an industrial estate and tucked out the way so dont be put off. Plenty of different beer on tap and selections. Comfortable relaxed and some good tunes.on, sofas were great. everyone was friendly. Shame we had to go as could only do a couple of beverages.

Great local microbrewery making some of the best beers in Scotland (with the awards to match). Shop available during working hours to take away merchandise and beer too. Worth a stop off!

Amazing place. Great selection of beers and gin as well as other drinks Staff are very friendly and great service. Watch out for music nights. Highly recommend a visit 🍻🍻❤️

I’ve just been to the Bristol Beer Festival with the guys who were trying to find good beers for the Bath Beer festival in February. I was trying Scottish ales and sample Lost in Mosaic , it’s an absolutely beautiful beer very fruity flavours and won my beer of the night. Hopefully the organisers of Bath who tried it as well will put in on but it’s all mine.

Popped in for a quick drink last week and was very impressed with the tap room, staff were very friendly and helpful with the purchases I made in the shop; we will definitely be making a return.

Great place, lovely selection of beers, and good music! Would definitely recommend, for something a bit different. The guys there were very informative about their products, and also ordered us food from the deli across the road 👌. An excellent afternoon.

Ice cream is a hit or miss but once you find a flavour you like- in my case it was millionaire shortbread, then it’s impossible to stop. Bounty flavour is also decent. Expected more from the fruit flavours but they taste artificial which is a surprise. Ice cream comes at a fair price comparable to the quality and considering it’s made onsite by the milk from their own cows. Even the chocolate cone alone is bloody good. Otherwise, a lovely selection of good quality, whole food products too but anything chocolate was for me heaven there.

Stopped in twice during our honeymoon and the ice cream was amazing 🤩 Love how the flavours change every day. The chocolate cone was absolutely lovely too! Lovely little shop to pick up some milk, bread and other goodies too. Seeing the Highland cattle is always nice too ❤️

Absolutely fantastic ice cream - best in Loch Lomond by far. Interesting and natural tasting flavours made with fresh milk from their own cows. Friendly staff with a good selection of fresh produce and supplies. A perfect little farm shop by the A82

Nice farm shop with variety of items, we bought the kids the animal shaped cookies (cow, horse, unicorn) and they were delicious. Nice seating area outside with cows in the field next to it. The ice creams looked delicious

We had a very good time here during this trip. The bedrooms are all cozy and clean. The kitchen is well equipped and functional, and we all loved hanging out in the spacious living room. Due to the weather condition we didn’t have a chance to use the hot tub this time, hope we have a chance to visit here again and enjoy it!

Came here for the ice cream, but sadly due to a recent power cut, there was no ice cream available. But the items on sale did look nice and we ended up buying some bits and bobs, their own fresh milk and the bread were stand out highlights for me

Adorable little farm shop to check out while on your way into the Scottish Highlands! They have a variety of snacks and goodies, plus you'll even see some cute cows grazing in the field nearby. There are no toilets for public use, however.

Came for a sauna session and it was absolutely lovely - staff very welcoming and friendly and sauna and view over the loch was lovely and it great to go for a dip in the loch while using the sauna. Absolutely stunning location and very peaceful. Had a couple delicious iced lattes as well! Wonderful experience 😀

What a lovely venue for lunch in our 25th wedding anniversary. Absolutely beautiful views over the loch. Particularly impressed with the staff - super friendly and just the right level of attention and the food is sublime. Absolutely delicious - do book!

We got married at Venachar Lochside at the end of October and I have nothing but glowing things to say about the venue, the location, the staff, and the food. We went through the usual long run up to the wedding, and were in close contact with Sue throughout the period. Sue was amazing and supportive of our requests and the elements we wanted to include, as well as aiding us in getting the tipi for the venue. On the setup day the venue was already beautifully presented and the decorations we bought with us were lovely accentuations to what was already there. They were also not precious about us moving current decor around to best fit us. On the day, all the staff were amazing, we felt very relaxed with regards to timings and moving guests around, with the staff ensuring we were all well on track. The venue looked stunning at the side of the loch, and our photos reflected that. The food was really good (from the little I got to try with how busy we were) and everyone said they loved it. We also rented the venue for the day after the wedding for organised watersports due to its slipway and parking. It was perfect for this purpose, and allowed our wedding guests to get together to talk about the wedding after the big day. Cannot recommend Venachar Lochside highly enough, all the staff were really helpful, with Sue being amazing, the venue being beautiful, and the food being perfect and tasty for our big day.

The best Sunday lunch I’ve had in ages! Fantastic views, fantastic staff and fantastic food - what more could you want?! I loved that there was shredded chicken and gravy served in the Yorkshire pudding - the proper Yorkshire way! Very highly recommended!

We had our wedding here in October 2024 and the venue and scenery were absolutely stunning! Meghan and Sue were so organised and made the day run so smoothly! The food was incredible and we received so many compliments! Meghan was always there to answer any questions we had in the running up to our day! They also provided our wedding cake, which was beautiful, delicious and made our lives so much easier! Thankyou so much, we had the most perfect wedding day and would recommend this venue to everyone!!😁

Had our wedding here on the 9th August 2025. Everyone at the venue was so incredibly helpful, the food was amazing and they were so accommodating for dietary requirements and allergies! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering this venue for their wedding, big thank you to Sue as she was amazing!

Stunning location, very nice little building with lovely decor, polite staff and delicious food. Noticed a few reviews regarding portion size, this isn't a Wetherspoons and is more quality over quantity, so may not be to everyone's taste. It was definitely to our taste and we will definitely be back!

We are dinner and breakfast at the real food cafe. For dinner, we had the salmon salad which was great and the chicken burger which also tasted very good. We then took the carrot cake, which was light and sweet, and had a lot of cream cheese frosting. At breakfast I had the best scone I’ve ever had! White chocolate and blueberries! Even took a second one. It was freshly baked and still warm when I opened it. Perfect! The coffee was also great. The breakfast egg roll was not great, the eggs were too runny and the roll was quite dull without even any veggies inside.

A lovely little place. Very popular for travellers and walkers alike! Was lucky to get a seat as it was raining. Very cosy in the seating area with a fire. Takeaway available too. Lots of food on offer and the curry they seemed to be cooking for lunch smelled amazing! With a place outside to wash boots and hands if needed and a bucket for your walking sticks, highly recommended!

A very nice cafe located north of Loch Lomond with a nice range of freshly baked scones, cakes, slices and savory breakfast choices. Literally best scone I’ve ever had! Very helpful and lovely staff. Nice atmosphere too. Highly recommend 👍👍👍

Great stop for lunch! The haddock fish & chips were delicious, the burger was tasty, and the cinnamon roll bun was a nice treat. Convenient location on the drive from Fort William to Edinburgh, close to Glencoe with easy access. Best to come a bit early to avoid the lunch crowd!

Friendly welcome, With a note: just because a person has an accent, you do not need to speak louder:) All of the staff very attentive, pleasant and professional at the same time. The quality of the food, especially nofish tofu were gorgeous. Don't get me started on cinnamon muffin / cupcake or whatever was like food from fantasia. Despite being on an arterial road, no noise of it from the inside. But the main difference against nearby competition is the customer service. If I lived nearby, I would be an overweight happy person. Would highly recommend.

Been going through Tyndrum for years but this is the first time stopping here to eat. We weren't disappointed, chippy food in a great atmosphere even a wood fire going We had the fish and chips deal with mushy peas (which kicked in about Comrie) 🤣 tartar sauce tea and buttered roll ,free glasses of water and tomato sauce,just don't waste the sauce. Will definitely stop again and try something else on the menu. The lady shows you to your table,read the menu then place your order at the counter with your table number then it's served to you .

Great spot for breakfast on your Highlands trip! The food is excellent, and the friendliness of the staff really wins you over. But the highlight is how much respect for nature you feel all around — there’s a bird feeding area and even a tap to wash your dogs. Highly recommended!

Shocking prices in a poor restaurant. The check in and security are excellent though. I know airports are known to be more expensive but £4.19 FOR A 500ML DIET COKE. RIDICULOUS!

Small low frills airport, just like the carriers that fly from it. Very limited units inside of it, so lacks choice. The airport is not in Glasgow, so be careful when considering transport options. Good connections during the day from Glasgow Central & Ayr. Landing times at night can be problematic if dependant on public transport. Staff were nice, friendly, and helpful. £3.50 charge for drop off and pick up. This charge allows you 60 minutes.

Best airport in Scotland. Unofficial military base. God knows why it's got Glasgow in name when its nowhere near Glasgow.

AVOID PRESTWICK AIRPORT/CAR PARK AT ALL COSTS. I parked my car in Car Park 3 between 5–13 July 2025, which Prestwick Airport markets as a “secure facility” with fencing, CCTV, and ticketed barrier-controlled entry/exit. When I returned from holiday, I found my car had been stripped for parts – the entire front bumper, grille, sensors, and plates removed, leaving only the headlights. Police Scotland had left a notice dated the 7th of July, showing the theft had happened almost immediately after I parked. Here’s the shocking part: Police told me I was one of a number of cars recently stripped in this same car park. God knows how many more have had the same happen since this incident. Despite barriers and CCTV being advertised, I was told there was no usable CCTV footage at all of my vehicle being attacked. These are ticketed barriers, which physically do not lift without a valid booking. It is utterly baffling how thieves could enter and exit to commit this crime without leaving a trace. Prestwick knew about multiple thefts in this exact car park yet did nothing to increase security. And their handling of my complaint? EVEN WORSE - Weeks of silence and being passed back and forth. No answers, no updates, constant delays. Eventually dumped on a solicitor, who then also left me waiting for weeks before issuing a blanket denial of responsibility. This incident has caused £3,800 worth of damage and expenses, and Prestwick Airport has refused to accept any responsibility or reimburse a penny. This car park is clearly not secure, despite how it’s marketed. If your car is damaged or stripped here, Prestwick will wash their hands of it, hide behind small print, and abandon you. Photos attached show exactly how I found my car when I returned. Prestwick Airport should be ashamed and the public deserves to know this is happening. Do not park your car here under any circumstances when travelling, in case the same happens to you.

Managed to sneak a night out in the airport, ran out of drive time, but it was a noisy morning 🙇‍♀️

If it had no stars that is what I would give shocking it is totally freezing as the air on up full everyone complaining and meant to be coming 2 hrs ago to turn it off how hard must it be to turn a switch. No matter how desperate I am for a flight I will not be coming back here . To top it all the flight is delayed by a hour everyone will have the flu by the time they get on the plane. I would rather stay at home and pull out my eyelashes than have this experience worst airport ever

Best airport around unfortunately not much choice when it comes to flights but that's all down to ryanair ruling the roost! Hassle free, quick security checks and great transport links.

Quick turnaround during boarding security check in and arrival. You can use priority pass in their lounge which has most of the things. Menses - if you lost your bag Airport isn’t too busy Departure has almost everything including games

Glasgow Airport is convenient with good transport links and friendly staff. Shops and restaurants cover the basics, though prices are high. Security and baggage queues can be long, and parking is expensive. Overall, it’s practical and gets the job done, but it can feel crowded and slow at peak times

Small and tidy airport which is kept generally clean. Nevertheless, there are no enough seats to accommodate all passengers. Wifi is free for only 2h, and the speed is super slow, so it is technicallh non-existent. No water stations.

An efficient and old school airport but does the job. No issues here. Has frequent direct bus to town. Would fly here again.

The 500 airport express bus is total rip-off and a money spinner for Glasgow airport who have just re-tendered the ‘service’ and prices have just gone up again. I was lucky to actually raise the lack of bus services with the airports commercial director and he admitted they were happier to invest in car parking capacity than bus services. The rip-off fares aside, the service frequency drops in the early morning in the busiest hour 5-7am if you’re trying to catch one of the busy first wave flight departures, likewise if you’re arriving after 10pm you’ll be waiting 30minutes and will be scrambling for a seat on an overcrowded bus. My advice: call a cab on Glasgo Cars if you can afford the £21 cab fare instead of the £10.50 bus fare or else ride the 757 Paisley and change there. Or just fly from Prestwick or Edinburgh both have way better public transport connections

Probably been to Glasgow airport over 50 times. The transport to and from the airport is a joke. Either it’s one of the most expensive bus service or a complete lack of taxis. It’s embarrassing that Prestwick airport has better public transport than the main airport for the city. Staff at the airport are very friendly and accommodating

Good shopping and places to sit. Long walk to easyJet gates. New security suffering some challenges as most badges end up being inspected so you can be delayed badly waiting for a bag check. Shabby crowded waiting area at easyJet gates.
