The Carrick

19 - Top 50 UK & Ireland Stay and Play Cameron House/The Carrick

Cameron House simply oozes Scottishness from the baronial styling of the old part of the hotel to the décor, and of course the wonderful views across Loch Lomond. Eat in Cameron Grill, Great Scots Bar or the Claret Jug in the main hotel, or the light and airy Boathouse right beside the Loch. The Carrick Spa, boasting the very best in treatment suites, thermal experiences and wet and dry exercise areas, lies a couple of miles away along with the Carrick course. An intriguing mix of American-style, heathland and lochside holes, although course condition out of season holds it back a little.
