- KKirsty07/05/2025stunning loch viewsstunning loch viewsThank you from the bottom of our hearts for the best wedding day at The Cruin! It couldn't have been more perfect! The unusually mild weather meant that we had the ceremony of our dreams outside with those stunning loch views. Our guests (and us) were blown away. Also, the food was incredible! So many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and as massive foodies ourselves we were seriously impressed!

Travel Notes
We are situated just off of the A82. If coming from the South it is easiest to take the right hand turn signposted for Cameron House and Duck Bay hotels, then follow the road to the left as it runs alongside Loch Lomond. Just before the road rejoins the main A82, bear right into Lomond Castle Estate where you see the sign for The Cruin, The Loch Lomond Guesthouse, and Loch Lomond Castle Lodges.
If coming from the North, take the first obvious left hand turn about 1/2 mile after the roundabout at Arden, then turn immediately left into Lomond Castle Estate.
Our postcode is G83 8RB but be aware that your SatNav will not bring you to our door.
If you have any difficulty finding us, please don’t hesitate to contact Office/Reception.
