Colquhoun's in Argyll & Bute

Stayed one night DBB. Restaurant clean, nice and relaxing. Ordered ham hock for starters which was excellent choice, enjoyed very much. Main course ordered the duck, again delicious Dessert just couldn’t resist ordering apple and toffee crumble which did not disappoint, excellent choice again. Enjoyed every course. The waitress and waiters on the night (Sunday) were fantastic. Breakfast was plenty full and excellent choice, ordered the full Scottish and couldn’t fault it perfect. Again staff fantastic. We stayed1 night with the DBB deal and it is fantastic will definitely be back to stay.

Fantastic views over loch lomond. Food very nice , but in an empty restaurant, we were seated right next to another couple. Felt like we were intruding on the other couple.

Very nice experience, 3rd time we have stayed there. Would return .

Very pleasant meal and atmosphere. £46 for a small fillet steak with half a mushroom and some fries is excessive, but food was good. Wine also incredibly overpriced. Thought we were at Gleneagles. Starters and desserts were very nice. Our waitress, Iona was excellent and is a credit to the restaurant. All in all good food, but some of the prices were excessive. We'd think twice about returning to stay at this hotel as it was like they new you had no other easy choice of somewhere to eat.

Lovely hotel with fantastic views over Loch Lomond. Rooms spacious, spotlessly clean and comfy bed. All staff friendly and professional. Restaurant serves good food beautifully presented.

Amazing location, service excellent, friendly staff, just loved the atmosphere over looking the loch. Food was very good.

Quite expensive for what was average food. I was very surprised to find a 10% tip had been added to our final bill, I believe tips should be optional for couples. Xx

Excellent service. The staff were so efficient and went out of their to make sure we had an amazing night.

We ordered food the night we stayed to our room and cocktails. Cocktails were amazing food wasn’t great. Chips very soggy and undercooked. Breakfast came with the room so we went to resteraunt and I paid extra for morning tea. Breakfast was tiny no toast or anything. Had to pay extra for a late. No water or anything provided at table so also had to pay for juice. The scones weren’t great and oat pots were very very small so would maybe next time just stick to the normal breakfast as it didn’t seem like an upgrade. We would come back though as we had a great stay all over

Great service and food great view of the Loch

Very comfortable surroundings. Service from niamh was excellent and food was very good.

Dinner was part of an overnight stay. Food was just OK. I wouldn't have paid the prices for the food and most definitely not the wine if I'd only been for dinner. Wine was ridiculously overpriced for mediocre. Syarter obviously bought in (ham hough). Cod fillet could have been wonderful. But it was lukewarm, skin wasn't crispy. Crumble overly sweet.

Delicious food ….Friendly service

Staff were lovely but a bit short handed. Wine list is out of date. Food average. But a pleasant experience

Very tasty, prices still okay and great views of Loch Lomond

Food was lovely and the staff helpful and polite

Had morning tea at the restaurant. Staff were lovely and helpful as I had booked for breakfast and not morning tea! Everything was sorted out with no problems.

I was absolutely blown away by the view from the restaurant. It was matched by the superb food and excellent service from everyone in the bar and restaurant. We were celebrating a special birthday and really appreciated the beautiful birthday dessert which arrived unprompted.

£37 for 2 cheese sandwiches and chips, we expected much better to be honest. Won’t be returning.

Good coffee, good service, very clean

Spent three days and two nights while attending a wedding. From start to finish everything went well. The staff could not be more helpful and they are a credit to this wonderful hotel. The location is wonderful and to compliment this we had lovely weather for the time of year. To everyone THANK YOU for an amazing stay.

Food was delicious and staff were very helpful. Lovely views of the loch.

Everything was great. Most enjoyable event.

Lovely looking but closes at 4:00 despite appearances and advertisements. So no soup for you.

We had a afternoon tea which was lovely the only problem was that the sandwiches were nice but the bread was dry . They obviously were made earlier which is fine but weren't kept covered. Overall would go back as it’s position on the loch is breathtaking.

Lovely place with good service and views over the loch. The dinner was nice and food recommendable, but the lunch we had the day before was a little bit disappointing with too much salt on the chips and the soup of the day wasn't enjoyed by my partner (sorry).

Beautiful setting and views of loch but average food and service was a little too rushed for our liking (would have been fine at lunchtime but not for dinner) Most disappointing of all was the menu which was slightly up market pub food rather than decent restaurant food - had a caesar salad which was OK, but would not have been my choice in Scotland.

Beautiful setting and friendly staff , all let down by overpriced mediocre food. Lunch menu very disappointing, more like pub grub. Won’t be back anytime soon.

There were 3 in our party; we were looked after by Lauren, who could not have been more helpful. One member of our party chose a sirloin steak, which was, unfortunately, over cooked. Lauren dealt with the situation perfectly and a fresh plate came out a little while later - with a beautifully cooked steak. I chose the rib eye - no complaints, it was gorgeous. My friend chose the butter chicken, which was delicious. My dessert was creme brulee; perfect creamy base and fantastic, crunchy caramel top. I strongly recommend this restaurant. Many thanks to all the staff, especially Lauren.

Fabulous food. We stayed 2 nights DBB breakfast was hot and delicious, evening meal 3 courses, great selection and each night we were not disappointed. Food was delicious my husbands sirloin was huge and cooked to order. Service in the restaurant was impeccable, each member were happy and eager to please. Can’t wait to return.

Having no competition as a waterfront restaurant they are not really looking for excellence. Limited choice of dishes, mediocre overpriced cuisine, absent minded staff

We stayed 2 nights DBB, breakfast was amazing, The coffee is really good and plenty of continental choice as well as hot choices had the full breakfast one morning it was hot and delicious although I would of liked a bit of slice sausage instead of haggis 2nd morning eggs Benedict it was delicious. Dinner was 3 courses and the choice was good both nights we enjoyed all 3 courses paid a supplement for the sirloin which my husband said was perfect and huge in size. The staff in the restaurant are fabulous always checking if everything is ok with the meal. Stunning views over the loch made it magical. Look forward to returning

Had an evening meal and breakfast next day. Both were excellent. Loved the smoked haddock.

Lovely food. A really good atmosphere and every member of staff were very friendly and helpful. They seemed to enjoy their work

Excellent Afternoon tea package - brilliant value for money in a beautiful setting with lovely staff

Food was very average sirloin steak very chewy didn’t taste like good quality Scottish beef,Breakfast was nice.

Beautiful setting but the atmosphere was a little bit too ‘diner’ for some reason it reminded me of a services restaurant but a smart one for sure. The food was ok but my fish was overcooked and I would say overpriced for what you get. Service was good however I did notice that the stations were such a mess cuboard doors left open etc.

Dinner was good but soup was lentil a bit unimaginative for such a restaurant. The bread was over toasted I could not eat it. The fish and chips was delicious. Breakfast was great.

The staff are very welcoming upon arrival, the restaurant is beautiful in the day with the views looking out onto the loch and at night the lighting is perfect, makes you feel very relaxed and chilled. The food is beautiful and drink options are enough and all reasonably prices as well! The only downfall is we felt rushed by the staff when ordering food, we had to ask twice for a few more minutes when choosing from the menu on two separate occasions, it made us feel rushed into picking our food and the courses come quick and fast!! But other than that minor fault we couldn’t fault the place and the bar staff are very nice!

Lovely area and great rooms with special touches, however, terribly let down by the restaurant. The rib-eye steak was tough and difficult to cut, even with a steak knife. I expected more for such a high end establishment and top of the range prices. I would definitely recommend the rooms, however, not the restaurant.

The view is amazing. The restaurant is great. Beds are comfortable.

first place Ive seen a whole glob artichoke on the menu and it was fabulous ! Other starter was the beetroot hummus with tzatziki, again fab! Service was top notch - the rest of the lunch was great with the chicken schnitzel burger being a winner !

Portion size on the small sized. Great staff and great service

Very disappointing. This was our last night of holiday and looked forward to a special meal, but it was far from that. Is it not possible to have a designated children’s area? We listened to a child on the next table screaming on and off throughout our meal. We asked for ‘tender’ vegetables. Maybe the chef doesn’t understand the word ‘tender’? They were like bullets. My husband ‘s chicken was tough too! We expected better from a 4* hotel.

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view, but service a little slow, took forever to serve us and they completely forgot the coffee at the end. Don't recommend the artichoke starter, the pulp was completely removed and replaced with tomatoes or something, it was so barbequed it was inedible, Cesar salad was good but the croutons could break your teeth so beware 😱. Despite my complaints it is a lovely restaurant 😁 and the staff were very nice 👍🏻

Like many hotel restaurants it lacked atmosphere but the food and service were good.

Excellent food - The Haggis parcel was delicious. Service was good and very friendly. The breakfast was delicious too.

Lovely view of the loch from the restaurant, and some tasty food

Food is very good with a good selection if dishes available, some of which are a little pricey but overall very good.

Worst meal have had in ages! 4 people Sunday 1st. Waitress was the redeeming factor so nice. Porchetta dish horrendous swimming in grease, Cassoulet base not a white bean or Toulouse sausage on the plate. Packet pork scratching poured over it. Chicken snitchell basic burger!. Liqueur coffee - latte!. Reception arrival rude unhelpful.

Too expensive for what we got. I would not eat there again due to the high cost.

Lovely visit. Staff was professional and pleasant. View was great. Recommendations were perfect. Well run!

A lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting on the edge of Loch Lomond. Food was nice - I had the Butter Chicken Curry, which was a generous portion and quite tasty. My boyfriend had the Beef Burger which was very well seasoned. Slightly on the pricey side, but for the lovely attentive and kind service, and the setting, it was well worth it. Highly recommend booking ahead of time as it was quite busy!

We were seated and told a twenty minute wait. There was a tour group there so some what busy. We waited for an hour for soup and one sandwich. We said something about it to the waitress and she said she would look into it. After a while a different waitress Hannah came to our table and argued with us and she literally came back to our table with the ticket for our meals saying we only were waiting for 29 minutes. I could not believe that she did that. You could tell she was mad. Very unprofessional rude and needs to learn proper etiquette on being a polite waitress. Soup was ok as was the sandwich. To bad the service was very unfriendly.😕

Stunning location with a comftable dog friendly service. The posatives stop at that. The food was awful chewy inedible meat greasy fish very poor execution. Hope you fix the food amazing location.

We had booked In advance of arrival and were shown immediately to our table. The servers were friendly and helpful and the glorious view out across the loch was breathtaking. Our food arrived after a very short wait. The starter was delicious- luscious ripe fragrant melon with berries and sorbet - pretty on the plate and great to eat on a warm day. We chose haggis for mains and weren’t disappointed- it was great haggis with just the right amount of neeps and tatties!, and whisky sauce! It wasn’t a cheap meal but we thought on balance good value for money.

Had a great lunch there with our puppy. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially our water David. The food was good at a reasonable price, and the restaurant has a beautiful view over Loch Lomond. We will absolutely return if we are in the area!

Fantastic views - we were actually lucky enough to see a full rainbow over the loch! The filo haggis parcel was delicious. Also got the salmon appetizer and the fish and chips, which were good, but the haggis with whiskey sauce was our favorite

Dog friendly and has fantastic views across the loch. Food was incredible, reasonably priced and large portions.

Fabulous picture window tables overlooking the loch .. absolutely superb restaurant location .. The menu is varied and easy .. the food was very nice .. decent and well priced wine list .. all in all very very nice

Pre-wedding dinner at Colquhoun's Restaurant was terrific. The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxing with beautiful views and the staff are well trained, friendly and tread the line between attentive and background effortlessly. A great experience.

Excellent Service, Excellent Team, Excellent Food and Highly recommended

Nice meal (pasta slightly undercooked), attentive and friendly service, warm welcome.

Nice food, lovely service and very friendly staff who also ensured our two dogs had water and treats during our meal.

Lovely afternoon tea for us . Staff very friendly and very helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to book again

Lovely dining experience and all staff were lovely

Team were really friendly and helpful. We arrived early and they made us very welcome. Views are amazing and it was a lovely sunny day. Food was prompt and tasty, great cocktails. Bit quiet but it was early lunch time. Really great experience.

Stunning setting overlooking Loch Lomond. The food was lovely. The staff were very attentive.

Excellent food, and service. Fabulous location

Once we found it (it's in the hotel) it is a beautiful setting and delicious food. We went for our anniversary which I mentioned it in our booking. At the end of the meal they brought a lovely surprise. Forgot to take a photo of the main meal but it was just as well presented and delicious.

We were here for a wedding. Lovely food the night before the wedding and at the wedding. Fantastic attention to detail from the wedding team made the wedding really special. Hotel is really let down by breakfast. Tea should be served to the table in teapots not make your own in a cup with tepid water from a flask. Haggis at breakfast was dreadful. Plates were cold and used cereal bowls not cleared when cooked breakfast served. Such a shame that breakfast doesn’t match the rest of the experience.

Fab vegan food - thanks so much

Lovely restaurant, with great views over the loch, however the menu was rather boring and not very Scottish choices and the service was rather poor, with 5x staff stood around whilst we were waiting to order and the food coming before our drinks (drinks very slow, food speed pretty good). Shame really as it could have been a great experience.

Was expecting great things from this restaurant, chips were all scabby and meals overall lacked. Great view from the restaurant

Kitchen closed. Not great at 3pm on a Wednesday in summer.

Apart from the stained cup , which was promptly replaced , we had a lovely afternoon tea , excellent food and polite and friendly service , also wonderful views over Loch Lomond. Would however recommend crockery tea pots as the tea cooled down very quickly in the metal ones ! .

Everything went well. Staff very helpful and polite. Breakfast was good. Dinner somewhat small portions.

Lovely view whilst having our morning tea

The location is lovely!! Beautiful views of the loch! Service was friendly. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. The artichoke was barely cooked and almost inedible. The complements (a mustard based dip and a salsa on the artichoke itself) felt like an odd twist. The pesto pasta was very oily and lacked any kind of garnish or bread accompaniment. It was tough to taste the hake through the other flavors. The chicken wasn’t bad but the mashed potatoes for both dishes were extremely stodgy as though perhaps from a box? We would go back for drinks for sure and, again, the people were lovely…but we likely wouldn’t go back for food.

Great place. Staff friendly and professional. And attentive

Great views from the restaurant, I liked the vibe of the restaurant. Prices are decent but the view from the restaurant is unmatched to any other place. A fine dining experience must visit.

Disappointed by food and service. Standards should be higher in such a beautiful restaurant and location.

Disappointed by the breakfast skillet. Clearly they had been cooked early morning and kept under heated lamp. The potato scone was stoating, both had to pick this up to attempt to eat it. No beans or sauce offered. No toast. The scones were tasteless and not fresh, no butter offered and no clotted cream. Brownies were very tasty, thankfully. Tea and coffee both served tepid. Asked for water and napkins, obviously server forgot, and the place was quiet, has to ask someone else. All in all disappointed by service and quality of food therefore would not recommend. We did enjoy scenery.

Following my last five star afternoon tea review I am afraid this morning tea was far from five star. Our friends were restricted by arrival time so morning tea was booked within booking time of a later 11.45. We were seated quickly by a very nice member of the team and drinks and meal specifics ordered. Firstly two meals arrived 9-10 minutes before the second two as a group of four we all sat while the hot items reduced in temperature . Suggestion bring the cold items out in advance if serving granola as most people would eat that first. The menu was :Homemade granola with yoghurt and berry compote • Breakfast skillet of sausage, bacon, tattie scone, poached egg and mushrooms • Homemade scones with cream and jam • Chef's sweet treat So we ate the “granola” I would recommend management to not announce but go sit down and order the home made granola and compote- it’s not the best and had been made hours in advance. Moving on lovely sausage and potato scone, no mushrooms, the bacon look dark and dried , unfortunately i could not get the knife through the bacon and eggs were well overcooked and hard - the later two deliveries of food were better than the first two so perhaps the first two were taken from a different batch. Scone was not freshly made that morning or if it was it was stored incorrectly and dried out , even with the jam and half the cream still dry. The sweet treat - was a dried brownie - no one consumed. The staff member asked how things were as we were eating the hot Items, I explained the problem with my hot items, the staff member offered to get another slice of bacon or egg I said no as I had already eaten most of the hot items but requested that chef receive feedback that even although customers are arriving late on the morning they should receive freshly prepared products as described and that the experience was not great and I did not think I would repeat the morning tea in the future as the experience was not great- this was before we had moved on the the scone and the “sweet treat” no one returned and asked about those. The team also need to look at the tray stands as the paint is flaking off them. So my last review for afternoon tea was 5 star the morning tea unfortunately would be 2.5 - 3 . Kitchen food service let us and the lodge on Loch Lomond team down yesterday. I would not be in a hurry to repeat.

When we asked for a boiled egg at breakfast we were told that it wasn't possible! 4 star hotel? Rather disappointing. Dinner was OK, nothing special. Prices were far too high for what was served! I must say the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room attractive and clean.

The view was amazing as well as the service! Really lovely location and food!

The food, welcome, service and scenery are nothing short of excellent. It's been a real treat to dine and stay here at this wonderful place. I'm surprised at how many families with young children would consider this tranquil and serene hotel suitable for small children as it is very much geared towards R&R - exactly the reason we came. Beautiful hotel, would be absolute perfection if it were adults only.

We had a meal with friends here for my wife's birthday. The food was delicious with a wide range of choice and variety. Gorgeous views looking out over the Loch at twilight. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and all the staff very so helpful and friendly. As an extra my wife was given a birthday plate with some sweet treats. This was a lovely touch and very much appreciated.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning tea / breakfast.....great service , food , and the scenery was breathtaking....we both will be back for sure

Perfect setting made better by the incredible staff who are all relatively young but super efficient and courteous!

Had the fish and chips and the batter was crispy and light, delicious home made tartar sauce - husband had chicken supreme which he loved - waitresses very attentive and friendly, very enjoyable meal

Great food and fantastic service in a sublime location

Lovely restaurant with fantastic views of the loch. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

All round decent experience. Food could be a we bit better quality but nothing really to complain about.

Lovely food. Staff were very polite however just a few small tweaks would have made it perfect. No sugar on the table so we had to take it from another one. We were served coffee but I had to ask for a teaspoon to stir in my sugar. We were given a tiny milk jug which we used but when we were served another jug of coffee they didn't bring any more milk. I had to ask for it. The window where I was sitting had 2 dead flies squashed on the window.....not a pleasant sight. I had to clean them away with my napkin.

Food was not anything I would recommend. The service was ok but had to request things multiple times. They allowed the smokers to stand in the doorway of the restaurant blowing smoke into the restaurant. They delivered drinking in dirty glasses multiple times. The view was nice though.

steak was just ok at best . Coleslaw never arrived . Ordered 4 desserts , 3 arrived , but no ice cream that was ordered . But whilst eating dessert a chicken curry was delivered to our table ? Clearly not ours ! My mum ordered a flat white and an expresso turned up . After three of us had eaten our dessert we cancelled the ice cream . Received the bill and the chicken curry , coleslaw and ice cream was on the bill . On asking to get this corrected we got two more bills that was still wrong . . Would not recommend or return for a meal

We enjoyed the food. The service was quick and efficient assisted by the helpful and pleasant staff.

Food average Nice view Service not good Do not recommend and would not return for a meal Poor choice for vegetarians Expected better

We had a window seat, what an amazing view, staff lovely and attentive, food great and good value, can’t wait too come back, thank you
