Family Holidays by Loch Lomond

So, you’re bringing your clan to Loch Lomond and you need some family things to do nearby? Loch Lomond Waterfront is one of the few Scottish self-catering holidays that sits right on the water’s edge. Well, when we say on the water’s edge, our holiday lodges and chalets are set back at the entrance of our little Scottish holiday resort. As such they look down our 18-acres of private parkland onto the loch. So, your kids can run wild and play to their heart’s content, whilst you watch from the comfort of your own private lodge terrace… Or hot tub! Plus, we have our own private beach, complete with picnic tables for you to relax and enjoy. Whether you want to splash and paddle or launch a canoe or paddleboard, we have the perfect setup just for you
