Cameron House on Loch Lomond

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay. WiFi could be improved - was very patchy. Always love the leisure area - great plus point and Cameron Grill was brilliant as always. Room was a little tired - bathroom needed some maintenance but didnโ€™t affect stay - just think it needs refreshed more often ie: tile grout, damaged bath & sink from cleaning products etc."
