1 night stay, dinner and breakfast Cannot fault anything, patio room was great, loved the fact we could walk out right beside the loch Dinner was amazing, best steak pie ever, my husband loved the thai chicken Breakfast was sooo good, cant beat Stornaway blackpudding, poached egg was perfect and the picture windows out to the loch in the breakfast room gave amazing views and wild swimmers watching too. All the staff we met were brilliant Would definately book again and aga8n

A large gluten free menu with plenty of options to choose from. Food did not disappoint and staff friendly. Restaurant decor clean and modern and lovely view over Loch. Ask for a window table.

Attended restaurant for lunch ordered, our starters and mains, 35 minutes later starter hadn’t arrived, diners attending after our arrival had orders taken and been served, after main meal, ordered desert and coffee, coffee wasn’t served to me at all, I complained to the server about the situation and I just wanted the cheque so I could leave, he was about to apologise, but was an obvious automatic response, quick enough to get your cheque though it was at the table within a minute

Beautiful surroundings, food was nice and honestly way too much, portion sizes were not expected. Even the fussy 5 year old was happy and almost cleared plates. The cocktails looked good, none of us were drinking so couldn’t try. Only gripe was the final bill, it’s good and looks beautiful especially at Christmas but it’s expensive for what it is. We literally had burgers chips and mac and cheese, for 5 people came to over £200, so it’s a one off.

Gorgeous entrance - Nice ambiance, great location Left standing at entrance for 3/4 mins with no welcome? Table was not ready told my unfriendly female, with large eyebrows to wait in bobbys. ? What’s bobbys!!! We realised bobbys is the bar next door. No menus or drinks offered, sat there like plums Eventually we asked if we could order drinks. Approx 15 mins later, tables ready, I assumed someone would bring our drinks throu ( nope I had to go back throu and collect them ) Wasn’t told the menus were on the table As upside down they look the plate matts - Food was delicious- very tasty. Service improved in restaurant Wine was great, Deco and flower arrangements are gorgeous. Staff all attentive, Condiments not offered Bill not offered So had a great time Service needs improvement Food was perfect And yes I would go back

The Cawley group of hotels and restaurants are one of our favourite , unfortunately the standards of the Duck bay restaurant at Loch Lomond is letting them down. Let’s start will the welcome, the person who greets you at the door/entrance is poor , we have encountered this chap a few times so it not just todays visit, he does not wear a name tag , however you will know him when you see him , he is quite tall , sort of ginger hair , a slight moustache and goaty and always red in the face , his overall manner is appalling , it’s as if you are annoying him when asking a question plus he says he will get back to you and never does , he deliberately does not get back to you , he should not be customer facing as his attitude, manner, service and professionalism are shocking , keep him away from the public/customers. It took us an age to get served despite asking for a waiter 4 times . The food has gone downhill , I ordered the chicken and haggis and it literally came out in 2 minutes and I can understand why, it looked as if it was a reheat or had been sitting for a while , it certainly was not freshly made, the chicken was rubbery and dry and the potatoes and veg were not much better. Overall a disappointing experience from the Cawley group, let hope it’s only isolated to this one restaurant , it’s now in my head that I need to go to the other restaurant’s to test them out. Hopefully someone will sort this out as it’s a shame that one place can tarnish the groups reputation.

Came here for lunch as the Boat House was closed for refurbishment. Staff were friendly and the service was five star. Unfortunately the food was two star if that. My mixed fajita was very good. My partners chicken with pasta in tomato sauce was awful. Overcooked pasta swimming in lukewarm tomato and cream sauce with three chunks of chicken. Would have sent it back but we just wanted to eat and leave. Good news is that the Boat House reopens beginning of March.

Food was lovely quite a small portion but worth it, took my daughter as she has always wanted to go staff were friendly service was quick, it’s is extremely busy so just ate and left as you feel like your being watched as the tables for 2 are so close together settings lovely and so is the decor, one issue we did ask for the Cajun chicken pasta and with no onions but was told that’s not possible due to it being a premix, you’d think the scale of the business and how busy it was it could use fresh produce rather than a frozen pre mix, so I opted for fish and chips instead dont want to pay £16.95 for frozen veg at lunch. So maybe something to consider would taste nicer not to watery as my daughter had it and it made the pasta sauce watery and bland.

Arrived with my wife for a quick lunch. We picked our seat and our food, we were attended to very quickly and ordered cold sandwiches, a cup of earl grey tea and a mug of coffee. We also ASKED for our drinks to be served with our sandwiches to ensure the drinks would be warm. Our food was served quickly but we had to sit for 20 minutes before we got our drinks and that was only after drawing to their attention that we had no drinks. Lovely settings, service diabolical. Spoke to another customer at another table who had waited an hour for their order. Not good impression for tourists.

Wide menu choice. Thought the fillet was amazing to be fair, which was unexpected. It was busy, so service not as prompt as could be. Wine choice not to my taste, but this is subjective. All in all though, had a great time.

I booked a table for 4 people at this restaurant for 7pm we arrive a few minutes early which was fine we were shown to a table laid for 5 persons. The restaurant was busy and eventually we received drinks that were ordered with the exception of a jug of water which we had to ask for after our starters arrived. Our order was 2 starters and four main course 3 fish and chips and 1 chicken curry the order was taken quite swiftly but the food arrived 1 hour later the fish was fine the chips were awful small over cooked and greasy the mushy pease were ok but we received no more than a heaped dessert spoon full tartare sauce was served in a very small dish and I asked for more which arrived after we had finished our main courses. Having arrived at 7pm we got up from the table at approximately 9 pm I appreciate the restaurant was busy. We left knowing that in previous visits we had had a far nicer meal better service. We will probably think again before visiting this establishment What a shame!!!

My partner and I, checked into the hotel on Friday 12th January for 1 night. We originally booked a standard room but upgraded to a suite on arrival at £199. We paid the difference in cash and a security deposit of £50 was taken from my card. We booked our table at the restaurant and our bill totalled £283 for food and drinks. On checking my bank on Tuesday 16th January, I noticed unusual activity. I spoke with my bank who confirmed that Duck Bay Hotel had made 17 attempts to debit my account, some of which were successful. This totalled over £1000! I called the hotel and spoke with Hayley who informed me that they had attempted to charge me for damage to a patio chair, namely a cigarette burn. Firstly, I am utterly disgusted that they have debited my account for damage to a chair that was not caused by myself or my partner. We did not check any of the furniture when we arrived as it didn't even cross our minds that we would have to. Secondly, we did not even sit in the chairs never mind smoke! It is completely impossible that this damage was caused by us! We were not notified by email, text or call that there was any issue or problem following our check out. We checked out on Saturday 13th January but they waited until Tuesday 16th January to take unauthorised payments from my account, without notice or evidence of any damage caused. I can guarantee that there was no damage to any furniture or fixings during our stay. I spoke with Hayley who advised that we have been refused a refund of our security deposit and the monies that they debited, unauthorised from my account. The hotel debited the card like credit card fraudsters by taking smaller payments for each transaction over 17 attempts. I requested details of the alleged damage and the following: *when and what time the room was checked prior to and after our departure *Was it the same maintenance or housekeeping staff that checked this *Proof that this could not have been missed on checking, if it was actually checked at all. * Proof of damage caused I also highlighted the potential that furniture could have been moved from another area of the terrace, as several rooms share the terrace all with the same furniture! There are so many variables in this situation, but I am clear that no damage was caused by ourselves during our stay. I sent 4 emails over a period of 4 weeks, to customer service and the managing director. To date no response has been received, which I find completely unacceptable. This highlights the level of service you should expect when an issue arises. We use hotels on a weekly basis and I have never had any issue or such a poor experience as I have at Duck Bay. This issue has caused undue stress and anxiety and I will never set foot in this establishment again. If you plan to use this establishment, please ensure that you check everything immediately on arrival and departure, otherwise you will find yourself in the same situation as us!

Worst hotel stay I've ever had booked this for my partner's birthday the room was freezing when we went in the toilet was even worse there's a big spring sticking up in the middle of the bed there was a kettle and coffee and tea but no water unless you get it out the toilet we went for dinner my partner got haddock and chips I got steak pie and chips the fish was on the turn smelt very fishy and one taste was enough and it wasn't very warm the steak pie was soggy obviously had just been microwaved the veg was uncooked I told the waitress about the fish tasting awful and on the turn all she said was aw was it then got two lager shandys which came back with no lemonade in them so told the waitress and she came back with a small glass of what she said was lemonade (which she charged me for) we split it between us and tasted our shandy no difference I tried what was left in the small glass and it was water I told the bar staff and he said it was definitely lemonade I know it was water ruined both our drinks no one in this hotel cares they have obviously been told if anyone complains just ignore them which they did to us this just ruined my partner's birthday almost £300 spent for one night should have been a great night to remember instead of the nightmare it was I'll never be back here and I definitely won't recommend to anyone 👎

Updates at bottom Worst experience I've ever had at a hotel. Myself & husband were gifted a £300 gift voucher from his mother towards our honeymoon to spend within the Cawley chain. We decided to spend £239 of that on a “stunning NEWLY REFURBISHED Premier Suite” of which we only had 20 hours access due to check in & check out times. On first arrival we relaxed with a cider to enjoy the last night of our honeymoon. We put the heaters on as the room was very cold & we could hear the outside water, thinking the door was open we tried to close it. The far right side of the sliding door had a gap, the fresh cold air was just coming in. There was no silicone or sealant on this panel which there should have been to ensure the room was weatherproofed. The bad weather amber warning was obviously contributing to how severe we were being affected with the wind howling through, not satisfactory to have a relaxing time. I went to reception asked for someone to have a look at it, she told me maintenance had finished for the day, she told me she’d get an manager. She then came alone herself to inspect as management was busy in the restaurant, she deemed it important so we did get a visit from an manager who told us he only handles the restaurant & gets called when maintenance is away. He tried to push the door back into place which only helped a bit & temporarily as the windy moved it again he said he would look for something to fill or cover the gap in the door to no resolve. We thought we had tape in our cars emergency box but didn’t have enough for the full length of the door. I went back to reception & asked to be moved which we were told there were no other rooms available. I asked if I’d be able speak to a manager that deals with the hotel as £239 for a room that isn’t weatherproofed or sufficient isn’t worth it or good enough. Another manager came he also looked at it & apologised that nothing could be done & I’d need to email as no one on site had the ability to reimburse. He asked if we wanted to stay or to just leave. Of course we both at this point had drank alcohol & I was not prepared to drink drive back to Edinburgh. we had no other choice but to stay. He left a with another apology. We went for a meal we were asked if we had allergies I replied with celiac disease they catered to my dietary requirements until desert, there wasn’t a separate gluten free menu but plenty gluten free options available which was great. We both ordered a gluten free sticky toffee sundae. Both came with a wafer on top which in no way was gluten free. Any item identified as gluten free on a menu should be presented as gluten free & not changed from the menu. I asked if it was gluten free the waitress panicked & returned it to the kitchen. They simply removed the wafer & presented it to me contaminated. I requested a new one. Again another unnecessary stress that effected no one bar myself & husband That was hands down the worst night myself & husband have ever had, it was cold, noisy with the howling wind coming through the gap & noise of the water (we could hear the obviously more premium suit up stairs talking to one another late until around 2am & again around 6am) & moving around at all hours the curtains both sets had a halo of light right round them until some point later the outside lights were turned off. The whole duration of our stay was uncomfortable, stressful & unpleasant. We were meant to be staying in the area until later on Saturday 21st October but both are so tired & stressed we went home early. Email sent to head office 21st October 2023 STILL NO RESPONSE 24th November 2023. RESENT EMAIL 3 TIME Update they apologised have zero interest or intention to refund or make right and went back to ignoring my email. Shameless thieves.

Booked the restaurant as there were some great reviews about the view. We had a really lovely afternoon! Tasty food, prompt friendly service and a fantastic table by the window. We will definitely be back.

Decent scenery and nice setting. Food extremely average and expensive. Had a club sandwich - not much filling and the toast was on the burnt side. Better off taking a picnic and eating it on a bench nearby.

Having never been to Duck Bay before I had a look on TripAdvisor to see what the chat was. It was already booked though, so no turning back. Much to my disappointment a large percentage of the reviews complained about awful service. With good service...

The food was fantastic, the staff were amazing - helping my disabled mother with no fuss and plenty of courtesy and compassion. The accessible toilet was a godsend and the whole experience made her holiday! Thank you so much!

Starters were standard restaurant chain offerings but nice. My fish was cooked well but my wife's steak wasn't cooked as ordered. If you're charged £30 for an 8oz sirloin you want it cooked to requirements. Ordered medium, served rare. Front of house couldn't be faulted....
