Hotels & Accommodations in Balloch

Balloch is where Loch Lomond drains into the River Leven, twenty minutes by train from Glasgow, and it carries the largest concentration of beds in the catchment. It is also the only place here with a railway station, which makes it the practical base for anyone arriving without a car. ### Guest houses The village runs on them. Gowanlea (9.8/10), Norwood (9.6/10), Time Out Bed & Breakfast (9.6/10), Forty Winks (9.2/10), Glenfern (9.0/10) and Anchorage (8.8/10) are all within a few minutes of the station and the park gates. Prices sit well below the loch-shore hotels and the scores run higher. ### Hotels Cameron House sits on the loch two miles north, in a Victorian mansion with rooms from around £615 a night. Duck Bay Hotel (8.4/10) is further up the same shore with rooms nearer £300 and a restaurant facing the water. In the village itself, the Waterhouse Inn (9.0/10), Queen Of The Loch and the Lomond Park Hotel cover the middle of the market, and there is a Premier Inn at Dumbarton for anyone who wants a known quantity. ### Lodges and holiday parks Westertonhill Holiday Lodges (9.4/10) and The Loch Lomond Guesthouse and Lodges (9.4/10) suit families and longer stays. Lomond Woods Holiday Park sits beside the country park with pitches and lodges from about £204. Stoneymollan (9.6/10) is self-catering above the village with a view down the loch. ### Glamping The ROSE POD at Glamping Loch Lomond scores 10/10 and comes with a hot tub and a barbecue hut, at around £374 a night — the most expensive single night in Balloch and the one that books out first. Balloch fills on summer weekends with day traffic from Glasgow. Midweek in May or September gets the same loch at half the price.
