“Perfect for short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

Stayed for one night as we were going to a wedding nearby. On arrival we were greeted by a very pleasant girl who showed us to our room and then brought up the sandwiches we had ordered in the bar. Room was nice and clean. There was some noise from plumbing early next morning but it was time to get up anyway. Had good breakfast before checking out but we returned later in the afternoon and had excellent lunch in the very pleasant cafe/bar area.

Room Tip: Number 4 seems to be the noisy plumbing room!

“great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

a couple of hundred yards from balloch train station and right opposite the national park and start of loch lomond, this was the perfect place to explore in the 1 x day we had.
the room was lovely, and the bar below was a nice place to unwind in the evening.

“Perfect Spot to Begin our Honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed in the Waterhouse Inn Sept 18th and 19th, the first two nights of our trip to Scotland and Ireland for our honeymoon. The rooms were excellent, the service was great and the traditional scottish breakfast was perfect. We could not have asked for a better place to start our trip.

“Very good for a hiking weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

I spent a weekend (2 nights) in the Waterhouse Inn and I think it is fair to say that it provides with very good value for your money: clean and spacious room, extra nice staff and (surprisingly, since it is right above the pub) extremely quiet. Furthermore, given its position right on the southern tip of Loch Lomond, it is well placed to reach all the beautiful locations around the lake. It is a B&B, so some of the services are pretty basic (there was no phone in the room and - obviously - no concierge), but if your objective is to spend a few days of total relaxation while on a hiking trip this is the place to stay. My only (partially) negative remark concerns breakfast: whereas it is possible to have continental breakfast at any time, cooked ones are served only from 0900 to 1000 (0930-1030 on Sunday), at a time when overeager people like me want to hit the trails.....

“Highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2010

The Waterhouse Inn I would highly recommend. The room No 4 (double room) was spotlessly clean and very modern and so was the restaurant and bar The staff where friendly and the breakfasts where excellent. Our 4 night stay was well worth it.
A really lovely hotel in a lovely location.
