A nice location with excellent views. The toilets are a bit disappointing but it is really lovely and the staff are great.

The staff we're all approachable, and so helpful. The food was beautiful, from the little appetisers throughout the day (mini fish and chips, chocolate dipped strawberries) to our 3 course meal. They all worked together and efficiently to bring the food out and tidy up. They knew we're They were going and what everyone had ordered. Very impressed. Views are absolutely stunning, even when it was raining.

Had roast beef dinners, which we were all looking forward to, but have to say we were left bitterly disappointed. The beef was like old shoe leather and really should have come with a saw, it was so tough (had to ask for steak knife) worst bit was that it was incredibly fatty, so much so that we left more than we ate ☹️ I hate wasting food but it was inedible. Take away puddings - I had the sticky toffee pudding which was very dry (possibly over microwaved) but ice cream was nice. Overall unimpressed and if staying at Lomond Castle again, wouldn’t eat there. Actually had a nicer roast dinner at Maid of the Loch in Balloch!!!

We recently had dinner here with family. It was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were superb, being both efficient and friendly. The selection of food was excellent and every item ordered was well cooked and well presented. The selection of wine was excellent. Everything about the evening was first class. We will certainly be back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Lich Lomond.

As a wedding photographer, I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Cruin in Loch Lomond, and I must say, it was an absolutely stunning event. The venue is located in one of the most picturesque spots in Scotland, with breathtaking views of the loch and the surrounding mountains.The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and they made sure that everything ran smoothly throughout the day.From a photography perspective, The Cruin offered a variety of beautiful settings for capturing candid moments and posed shots. The outdoor area was especially stunning, with plenty of natural light and beautiful scenery to work with. The interior spaces were also impressive, with a modern and elegant decor that added a touch of sophistication to every photo.One of the highlights of the venue is the jetty, which extends out into the loch and provides a unique and beautiful setting for photos. It's the perfect spot for capturing romantic, intimate moments between the couple, or for gathering the entire wedding party for a group shot.Overall, I would highly recommend The Cruin as a wedding venue for its stunning location, exceptional service, and beautiful spaces for photography - especially the jetty! As a photographer, I was able to capture some truly magical moments for the happy couple, and I would love to work with this venue again in the future.

We stayed at the Loch Lomond Guest House and ate at The Cruin both evenings, and both meals were so, so delicious! The service was fantastic too. The chocolate brownie is a must ?

The service was excellent, friendly, helpful, efficient and highly professional. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with real wood furniture and a log fire burning and surrounding views of the Loch lomond and mountains, whither on a cold day or a special occasion this is a magical place to rest. The food was so good, warm to the body and nourishing to the soul. I had soup, beef with potatoes and veg and cheesecake for after. The beef was so tender and tasty and the cheesecake was creamy with just the right amount. All was homemade. This is a family friendly restaurant. I would recommend booking in advance as it is a popular venue. Happy dining x

Went here for some Easter dinner. It was lovely, had lentil soup to start which was the nicest I have tasted in a long time, we then had fish and chips, it was a big portion so couldn’t finish it but it was really tasty the chips were chunky and the fish batter was light and fluffy. I then had mini egg cheesecake and it was better than I thought it was going to be, wasn’t too heavy, cream was nice and fresh and the biscuit base was amazing. Will definitely be back. Staff were lovely and very attentive, place was spotless and the views were beautiful over the loch, had it been a warmer day we would have sat out in the patio. Cant fault anything about my visit.

We had a bad experience at the restaurant.It is maybe a good place for a wedding venue but not like a Restaurant.We ordered king prawns and 2 burgers and we had to pay for everything in ADVANCE.We don't know exactly what was wrong but we both got stomach issues after the lunch. We don't really recommend it.
