Loch Long Hotel

Back in the dim and distant past, Loch Long was used for torpedo testing by the Navy.

These days, kayaking, cruises and windsurfing are the preferred water-based activities although plenty of divers like exploring the loch’s torpedoed wrecks.

Whether you choose to stay dry or dip your toes in the water, today’s Big Deal on an overnight stay for two at Loch Long Hotel provides a great base for a relaxing getaway.

Tranquil village of Arrochar

Set in the tranquil village of Arrochar, at the head of Loch Long, this waterfront hotel is just under three miles from Argyll Forest Park and only two miles from the shores of Loch Lomond. Glasgow is less than an hour’s drive.

All of which means that the Loch Long Hotel is ideal for a convenient night away.

The hotel is currently being refurbished to make it even more comfortable.

Loch-side hotel

Available seven days a week, the offer is for two people to have an overnight stay in a double or twin room with a full Scottish breakfast in the morning and a two course dinner each from the main menu.

The warmly decorated rooms feature en suite bathrooms, tea and coffee-making facilities, flat-screen TVs and free WiFi.

The lounge bar is always popular and there is regular entertainment on offer, especially at the weekends.

The hotel has its own free parking available on a first come first served basis and there is very affordable pay parking nearby.

There is a £10 per room supplement for Friday and Saturday night stays.

New kitchen team, new menu

There is a new kitchen team in place and they have introduced a fresh menu to Loch Long Hotel.

Popular starters include the haggis bon bons with peppercorn sauce and mash or the hand-pressed ham hough terrine with Scottish oatcakes.

Among the main courses, the battered or breaded haddock and chips; the Ayrshire gammon steak with pineapple, free-range egg and chips and the ever popular steak pie have many fans.

See & do

Hillwalkers will relish the challenge of tackling the nearby Cobbler. More gentle rambles will yield beautiful views and no shortage of waterfalls.

The Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park is nearby and several companies offer cruises on the loch.
