Questions, answered

Email us at enquiries@lochlomondarms.com or call +44 (0) 1436 860 420. We’re at Old Luss Road, Luss, G83 8NY — in the conservation village of Luss on the western shore of Loch Lomond, within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.

Around 45 minutes by car from Glasgow city centre via the A82, roughly 40 minutes from Glasgow Airport, and about 90 minutes from Edinburgh — one of the most accessible Highland escapes in Scotland.

Yes — buses run along the loch road between Glasgow and Luss, and the nearest railway stations are Balloch and Helensburgh, each a short taxi ride from the village. We’re happy to help arrange transfers.

We do — from intimate gatherings to full Highland celebrations, with the loch, the village church and 45,000 acres of the Luss Estate as your backdrop. Enquire at enquiries@lochlomondarmshotel.com.

Every adventure — by loch, land or hearth — is arranged personally and named for a member of Clan Colquhoun. Browse our Experiences page, then contact us and our Estate-native team will write the rest.

To celebrate our opening season, stays start from £265 a night while the offer lasts. Book the opening rate here.

Yes, free parking is available for guests at the inn in Luss.

Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 11am. If you’d like to arrive earlier or linger later, let us know and we’ll do our best — si je puis, as the clan motto goes.

Please contact us ahead of your stay at enquiries@lochlomondarms.com and we’ll advise on the nearest charging points.

Four ways to stay: Superior Suites (our largest rooms, sleeping 2–3), Double & Twin Rooms (sleeping 2), Coaching Rooms in the oldest 1700s wing of the inn (sleeping 2), and self-catering Estate Cottages sleeping up to 6, cottage by cottage. Every one is individually designed by Russell Sage Studio. See them on our Stay page.

Every room carries a name from the Colquhoun family tree — racers, artists, adventurers and the odd scoundrel from eight hundred years of clan history on Loch Lomond. Read their stories in the Book of Colquhoun Family.

Very. The Estate Cottages sleep up to six and suit families beautifully, cots and extra beds can be arranged in selected rooms, and there are 45,000 acres of adventure on the doorstep.

We’re in the Highlands — of course. Dogs are welcome in selected rooms and cottages and in the Stag & Two Hounds pub. Tell us when booking and we’ll have a bowl waiting.

The inn is a 17th-century building with character in its bones — please contact us at enquiries@lochlomondarms.com to discuss access needs and we’ll advise on the most suitable rooms.

Our pub — the heart of the inn, serving seasonal Scottish lunch and evening menus built on Luss Estate produce, Highland suppliers and Scottish seafood, with a fire that’s rarely out. Menus are on our Eat & Drink page.

Booking is recommended, especially in summer and at weekends — reserve through our table booking page. Walk-ins are always welcome when there’s room by the fire.

Yes — vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are marked on our menus, and the kitchen is happy to advise on allergens and adapt where possible. Tell us when you book.

The name rather commits us — yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome in the Stag & Two Hounds.

The Treasury prefers to be discovered — a room of remarkable objects, each with its own tale from Clan Colquhoun’s eight hundred years. What happens within it is best asked about in person.

Private occasions in The Treasury can be arranged — contact enquiries@lochlomondarmshotel.com with your date and party, and we’ll take it from there.

Artefacts from the clan’s story — Sir Iain’s Prussian gun, his Christmas Day diary from the trenches, a box of Queen Victoria’s royal chocolates, and more. Each carries a tale, told beside the object itself.

Our whisky bar — a snug of Highland drams, whisky cocktails and anything else you’d care to order, in the heart of the Loch Lomond Arms. Doors open to everyone from 5pm.

From 5pm onward it’s open to all — locals, wanderers and the whisky-curious most welcome.

Whisky is the heart of it — Highland and island drams, rare pours and whisky cocktails — but the bar will happily make you anything you want. Our fireside whisky experiences, like Sir Iain’s Lion & Lament, are also hosted here.

Private whisky tastings and gatherings can be arranged — contact enquiries@lochlomondarms.com and we’ll pour accordingly.

Luss is one of Scotland’s most beautiful conservation villages — famous for its rose-covered 18th- and 19th-century cottages, its pier with views the length of Loch Lomond, and Luss Parish Church. The village sits on lands held by Clan Colquhoun for eight hundred years, and the inn stands at the heart of it.

Wander the village and pier, walk the Luss Heritage Path, swim or paddle from the beach, take a boat across Loch Lomond’s 34 islands, hike the surrounding hills, or join one of our own experiences — speedboat island tours, 4x4 estate adventures, village history walks and fireside whisky evenings among them.

Endless. Gentle options include the Luss Heritage Path and lochside strolls from the village; for more, Ben Dubh rises directly behind Luss with superb loch views, and Ben Lomond and The Cobbler are within easy reach. Our Duchess’s Sporting Stravaig offers guided walks for all abilities — or ask in The Map Room and we’ll point you the right way.

Yes — Luss Beach sits right by the village, a stretch of sand and shingle on the loch shore with views to Ben Lomond. Perfect for a paddle, a picnic, or a bracing wild swim in Sir Iain’s footsteps.

You can — Loch Lomond has 34 islands, including Inchconnachan, famous for the wallaby colony begun by Lady Fiona Colquhoun. Our speedboat and luxury cruiser experiences visit the islands with skippers who know every story on the water.

Luss makes a fine base for the west: the Trossachs, Glen Coe and Oban to the north and west, Stirling Castle to the east, and Glasgow’s galleries and restaurants 45 minutes south. Most guests find the hardest part is leaving the village at all.

Every season earns its keep: spring for bluebells and quiet trails, summer for long light and days on the water, autumn for golden glens, and winter for fireside drams in The Map Room. The inn — and the Estate’s adventures — run year-round.
