Cameron House

Cameron House feels like a visit to a favorite uncle’s Scottish country estate with all the perks of a five-star hotel. The 132-room baronial mansion is just 25 minutes from Glasgow, uniquely positioned in both the Highlands and the Lowlands, and a perfect pied-a-terre for exploring the best of this gorgeous country. Rooms are well-appointed and have luxury amenities like comfy bathrobes, free WIFI, in-room tea and coffee, TVs, and some have amazing views over the famous Loch Lomond. The restaurants have kid-friendly options and serve top local meat and produce, including steaks that are out of this world and a salmon bar with a sampling of Scotland’s famed local smoked salmon and all its accoutrements. The pièce-de-résistance for kids is the indoor pool with water slide, which makes for all day fun if the weather is too wet outside to enjoy the myriad excursions or activities arranged by the in-the-know concierge. Topped off with friendly Scottish smiles and service, a stay at Cameron House is as legendary as Scotland itself.
