Inchmurrin Island Hotel Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

Something different. take the ferry over & have a great meal with views overlooking the loch. The Island offers good food & craic.

absolutely amazing trip - beautiful night for short ferry ride there and back. Meal was scrumptious and service was professional and friendly. Could not recommend this highly enough.

What a find. The restaurant arrange for a boat to pick you up and drop you back for a small charge. The restaurant has great views of the loch and the food was lovely. Staff are really friendly and attentive. Can then stay and have a drink on the terrace.

Had a variety of different food and everyone said their meal was delicious. Salads on the side of main meals was extra special. Friendly service. All in all a great afternoon and we will be regulars over the summer holidays ✨️

From the 10 minute boat ride across, the super homemade food to the return, this is a lovely place to go for a bite to eat and a few drinks. It’s probably advisable to book (unless you have your own boat!) as the boat picks you up to order. The food is lovely, seafood pasta loaded with prawns and crabmeat was superb as was the panko chicken with fennel salad. There’s even a tot of Inchmurrin whisky on the malts menu to round things off. A super experience, lovely staff & wonderful views! What’s not to like?

Nice place to visit in the middle of Loch Lomond, always a lively atmosphere and seating available inside and outside

This place is an amazing experience from beginning to end Food fantastic Staff fantastic Boat trip to island fantastic

We come up every year to Scotland (Loch Lomond) and managed to come across this restaurant on Inchmurrin Island. We booked lunch for 1pm for the five of us and the boat met us and brought us across to the Island. Great day and fantastic experience as it is a family run business. Had a lovely lunch (who serve generous portions) Dad runs the ferry crossings, Mum runs the kitchen and daughter manages the restaurant. We asked for a window seat but all tables had a great view over Loch Lomond They have a great recipe for success and have nailed it in my opinion. It is truly a hidden gem and those that book are in for a great time. The family own the Island going back 3 generations and are very talented and entrepreneurial. We enjoyed the great food and warm Scottish hospitality and when we finished our meal we took a walk around the Island. They are very generous and giving people but was alarmed to hear some people pitch up camping or come in for the day and leave there rubbish even not clearing up after their dogs. Will definitely be back and It is on our list of things to book when we visit next year !

My partner's 17th great-grandmother lived in the castle on Inchmurrin, and knowing the ruins were there, he realllllly wanted to see them while on our overseas trip. We were delighted to find that the Inchmurrin Island Restaurant not only offered delicious food (thank you Trip Advisor reviewers), but also transportation to and from the island. Winner! Our experience could not have gone better. Dugald picked us up from the jetty in Arden at 12 noon, and the 15 minute ride to the island was smooth, easy, and picturesque. 3 other couples were on the boat with us, and some were repeat customers, excited to visit again. We ate a really delicious lunch first (great view of the water!), and Dugald, hearing the story of my partner's ancestor, brought out a book from the 1800s of the Lenox family's detailed genealogy. We were delighted to go through it while waiting for our lunch, and afterwards. And Dugald showed us where the key to the castle was displayed in the restaurant, and informed us which path to take to get to the ruins. A truly exceptional lunch (very yum, and good beer selection), and we loved hiking to the ruins of this small castle and exploring. The whole afternoon was an experience we won't soon forget. If we are every again in the area we'll go back.

Amazing place. Food was lovely with sublime views from the terrace. Staff were superb - even brought our dog lead back on next ferry when we left it on the beach. 5 star customer service.

Absolutely lovely afternoon. Our meal was lovely. All staff very friendly from the boat driver to the two waiters. And not forgetting Tom the boat drivers friend...

A local lady recommended this restaurant, and we were so glad we went! We got the ferry to the island and had a fabulous dinner. The service was great and friendly and we sat by the window overlooking the loch, which was a perfect setting. After dinner, we had a short walk around the island but all too soon it was time to go home. Well worth the visit!

Called on the day , our 20th anniversary , what a fabulous meal and setting , can’t believe it’s so close and we’d never been ! A ferry to an island getaway !

As we didn't book, we called in on the off chance we could get lunch. The staff were really good, the scenery marvellous but the lunch was superb 👌 its years since we enjoyed a meal as much. Everything was homemade (or appeared to be), the soup was delicious, the bread was light and freshly baked but the fish salad was amazing. Can honestly say the food was absolutely wonderful. Will certainly revisit.

Picked up at our private jetty and taken across to Inchmurrin Island. Had a walk to the north of the island and witnessed an eagle on the thermals. Had a meal booked 18:00pm at the restaurant. Glad we saved the best til last. Food was amazing and let the chef know in person. Service was impeccable. So friendly and attentive. Highlight of our week in Loch Lomond with our friends. Definitely worth a visit if you get chance. A little gem. 5 stars from me.

Beautiful spot! Paddled over from Balloch. Amazing food, lovely service, and an amazing view! Definitely a must-try!

Great boat trip over… the location is stunning but the actual building made us a little worried… its a bit basic… but we had brilliant service, the steak frites was great value and really well done and the view was perfect. In an area of...

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Great experience to come over on the little ferry boat. Welcoming and friendly staff and great food. Would thoroughly recommend giving it a go!

What a lovely place! It was a choppy day on the loch but it's not too long a journey and we seemed to arrive quickly. Warm welcome from the staff. Good was delicious! Couldn't fault the food or the service.

Enjoyed a delicious meal overlooking the Loch! Thoroughly enjoyed our food, great friendly service and learning a bit about Inchmurrin Island! Also loved the ferry ride across from Arden to the restaurant (this was arranged when we called to book the meal). Caught the sunset...

Delicious food and pleasant staff. Lovely experience and locale. Had the burger which was served in a beautiful roll/bap. The patty was delicious and was presented very well. A bit pricey however when food is such good quality there is no complaints. A massive thumbs...

We heard about the Inchmurrin Inn restaurant whilst on a Loch Lomond boat tour so thought we would have an early dinner there alas that went array when the A82 was closed due to an accident and we missed the 15:45 ferry! We waited for...

Kayaked over to the restaurant today just for opening at 12 noon with the Mrs. Hadn't booked (spur of the moment thing -new to this kayaking). Starving hungry...2 hrs on the water. Lovely day. Obviously a hen party in table of ten or so. Fine....

I really like Inchmurrin and I've eaten here lots of times and the food is always good. Getting moored is a bit of a challenge (we'll it is for me lol) but once you on its excellent. The young girls who serve are a credit...

A group of us went to Inchmurrin restaurant for a memorial lunch to say goodbye to a dear friend who’d passed away during the lockdown. We could not have chosen a more beautiful location which, luckily, we saw in glorious sunshine. The food was excellent...

So i cant comment on the food however I would give zero if i could. I called up to take my disabled mum who has a life limiting illness. I questioned exactly if the boat would accept a mobility scooter and someone with mobility issues...

Gorgeous day on Loch Lomond and we decided to sail to Inchmurrin for lunch. Loved being able to simply tie up at the jetty and eat outside with the beautiful Loch as backdrop. My partner had scampi which was basic pub grub i.e. out of...

Picked up on the ferry and wisked across the Loch on a nice summers day. The staff were welcoming friendly and accommodating. Food was fresh and everyone happy in a hard to please group of fussy kids and adults. Great fun on the beach and...

omg what a gorgeous restaurant with beautiful views down Loch Lomond and a fun ferry ride too we ended up having a long lunch 3hrs didn't want to leave

We had never had lunch at inchmurrin restaurant before but this was a fantastic trip and enjoyable food. We had two courses most of us going for the fish as a main course - this was fresh, well presented and very enjoyable. Staff were professional-...

Recommended by a local and we didn't know what to expect at all but we were made to feel very welcome and the food was delicious, big portions.We loved that we had to catch the ferry to the island it made it feel like an adventure. Watching the locals come and go by water was fun too. We will return.

Inchmurrin is the largest inland island in Britain, and the only one with a pub/hotel. The building is not special but the location is fab. There is a ferry service from Balloch and Luss, but we rowed there in a cornish gig boat. We were a bit late for lunch but the sight of 7 hungry rowers re-opened the kitchen and we all enjoyed a decent lunch and a drink. The food is good, the service was friendly and the price was reasonable.

It was pouring rain, but that just added to the fun of the boat ride. Very welcoming staff at the restaurant, good food, excellent service, special location.

Stumbled upon this unique pub and restaurant. Amazing food and great value considering the location. A meal and day out you won't forget. Highly recommend.

Beautiful scenery on the boat trip over despite the Scottish weather! The food was lovely and reasonably priced. Would highly reccomend👍🏻

I visited this restaurant to celebrate the completion of a relay swim with the BLDSA. A ferry was pre-booked to take a large group (took two trips) over for a lovely buffet of soup and sandwiches. We were very lucky with the weather and the views from the ferry and the Island were glorious. All the staff were so friendly, there was outdoor seating, bar area, large dining room and two smaller dining rooms at the back so plenty of room. It was so comfortable and welcoming and Morag & Dot ensured everyone was well fed. I will definitely be going again!

My son and his beautiful bride were married on 30th July at Boturich Castle Wedding Venue. We hired the boat on 31st and were taken over to this lovely restaurant. 10 of us, to continue the celebrations. Well, what a fab choice of restaurant and a 15 minute crossing from the mainland. Great food, fresh fish n chips delivered that day, with a couple of veggie options for two of our party, fabulous attentive helpful staff and a visit to our table from the lovely owner ... sadly I did not get her name. We had the best time on this small island, only 8 residents I believe, fab friendly people in the bar and lots of dogs ... my kinda place. Go see for yourselves. It’s fab. Thank you all. X

One of our stops on our boat trip. This is the only Island pub on Loch Lomond and if you are doing a cruise is a must stop over. Easily accessible as it has a large pier to tie up on. Plenty of seating inside and out with a full bar available and toilets.

From the moment our taxi (boat) picked us up from the mainland to being taken back this was an enchanting evening. Dave the boatman was great and Ellie who was the bar lady and waitress made us feel so welcome. The Inchmurrin whiskey is wonderful and the food is just great! A simple menu is perfect so your are not spoilt for choice and the evening weather made this an evening to remember. So relaxed away from the hustle of the mainland this was a wonderful place to retreat and relax.

We visited this terrific little restaurant for the second time. We had the advantage of the beautiful weather which enhanced the magnificent views. We spent a great three hours on the island which included a nice lunch served by friendly and polite staff. Highly recommended.

Thanks for an amazing night last night meal service,the chef,wee Ann the owner absolutely fantastic me and my family loved it and Reuben the spaniel and cheers to Dave the ferry man epic 👌👌👌👌👍

Food on the island was very good, all of us thoroughly enjoyed it. The Ferry takes you over and back when you call to agree a time. The island when the weather is good is a great day out. I can highly recommend the island to get away from all the hustle and bustle.

3rd visit in the rain but not put off. Davy, his boat and dog may remain the same but the cuisine continues to improve. We had an exceptional lunch, courtesy of latest generation to take over in this warm and friendly atmosphere.

Food was exceptional! Hats off to the chef, great customer service and the atmosphere was perfect. What more can you ask for dinning on an island on Loch Lomond... Highly recommend a visit!

Not having been here since being introduced to my first fresh salmon 54 years ago , I found myself back in the same restaurant on a bleak April day this year . I was met by a pleasant but on the ball waiting person ( Russel ) who showed me what was on offer food wise and seated us by the window which had a fab view of the loch and surrounding area . We ordered fish n chips beef dobe (which was out of this world ) served quickly and well presented . All well priced and not the rip off prices we have come to expect in this area . So all in all , we had a great day , good food and very nice staff , ( thanks Ellie ) next time we are in Scotland we will return and will tell all our friends . Thanks to all who made this a fab day Ross and Cathy .

Had an absolutely fabulous 4 course meal on Mothers day on this lovely island.

Came here for dinner on Saturday with friends. We were picked up and taken across to the island by the ferry. Staff were friendly (the ferry driver was absolutely hilarious) and very attentive right from the start. We had a couple of drinks in the bar area and then moved to the restaurant for dinner. We tried a variety of starters and mains and everything was absolutely fabulous!! I would 100% recommend as we had such a lovely evening out.

Delightful lunch with a wide variety of dishes. Stunning views. Facilities to eat outside or inside. Very choppy crossing which was thoroughly enjoyed by some... expertly driven.

On Sunday my husband treated me to a fabulous 4 course mother’s day lunch here the food was delicious well presented and most of all tasted amazing,it was a beautiful day all in wee had drinks outside in the sun also with stunning views would like to praise the staff as they made us very welcome and looked after us from start to finish ,I would highly recommend to family and friends to take a trip over on the boat and enjoy the experience

There is a new restaurant team at Inchmurrin headed up by an incredibly talented chef. Today I was treated to a Mothers Day lunch and had simply the most fantastic meal. The table was beautifully laid with fresh flowers and gorgeous table linen. The attention to detail by the service team was outstanding. If you are looking for exceptional Scottish cuisine I would highly recommend you paying a visit.

My brother in law always wanted to go to Inchmurrin so when I discovered that you can go for dinner I thought it would make the perfect surprise 60th family dinner.

Great family weekend trip with elderly parents staying at The Lodge and ate at the hotel.

We had a Beautiful day sun shining and a lovely warm welcome from the family on inchmurn dot and David and mum, nice menu lovely food a wee gem on the loch a must visit if you have the chance not to be missed only a ferry crossing from burnfoot just off the Arden roundabout to a lovely island.

Interesting little place on Inchmurrin, you can get the ferry across or arrive by boat, indoor and outdoor seating and quite old fashioned, food is pretty good. Check opening hours before you come over

We decided to catch the ferry to Inchmurrin for lunch on a beautiful summers day in July. The trip over was a pleasant experience and the loch and surrounding hills and mountains were at their very best. On arrival we made our way to the restaurant/bar and received a fine welcome and attentive service.We had drinks then settled down for lunch.

Hi was out on boat on Sunday, popped in for lunch, it was excellent, husband had seafood platter , and I had fish and chips , we took our own boat but there is a free ferry service as well , lovely location fab food and great service, will definitely go back

We were staying in Iverbeg, so this easy for us to get to - although we did get a little lost trying to find where to get the boat across - perhaps it would be good to have a little sign to show which way to go once you have come off the roundabout? We had a lovely window seat with a great view [even if it was rainy and bit cloudy]. Good selection of food on the menu - staff really friendly. Traditional family run restaurant/hotel

I arranged to take my husband to this beautiful island as part of his 40th celebration as he had previously mentioned it a few years ago. I am so glad I did this as a surprise as we had a wonderful time. I contacted the hotel directly and they gave us directions where to drive to in order to be collected by a small boat which would take us to the island. This all ran smoothly and we had a great trip over and enjoyed speaking with the guy who took us. He told us about the history of his family from the island and it was very interesting to hear. One of the highlights was being met at the jetty of the island by a very excited old Jack Russell terrier who came running and jumped onto the boat as we arrived. Such a lovely welcome! Seemingly he has done this since he was a puppy and the guy on the boat is his owner. In the hotel, we had a lovely bowl of soup and a steak pie which we enjoyed. I also treated my husband to an Inchmurrin whisky which went down very well! The views from the island are spectacular and I would recommend this for a short day out. We had a nice walk to a small monument on the island too before getting our lift back on the boat. This time, the little dog joined us and fell asleep on the seat next us - he was such a wee delight to meet. We had a great trip from start to finish. Thank you!

We went to the bar via boat at around 4.15pm today to grab some dinner. When we arrived, we were told that food isn't served until 7pm, so we bought some drinks and went a trip around the islands and returned at 5.30pm, in the knowledge we would be waiting an hour and a half before ordering food. We sat down, grabbed some more drinks and at around 6.20pm, asked a waitress to find out if we could order food before 7pm, in the hope it could be served then (our party was starving as we had held out all afternoon to grab food here, I haven't been since in over 10 years and it was a nostalgic moment from when my dad took me out as a youngster). The waitress said she would find out for us. She then walked passed us on numerous occasions, setting up tables. so approximately 15-20 minutes later, I went to the bar to ask for menus, so we could decide what we wanted. I was asked if I had a table booked, I said no I didn't, to which the reply was she couldn't give me a menu as I couldn't get food if a table wasn't booked, as they were fully booked, and had known this from around 2.45pm. Why couldn't any of the staff have let us know this on either the first visit, or when we returned? We were all excited to eat here and this put a complete dampener on our day. Very disappointed.

Inchmurrin island is a beautiful quiet place with stunning views. We loved walking around this romantic island. It's a paradise!

It's the first time we've been on a little boat to get to a restaurant. Sadly it was raining and we had to huddle inside the boat and not appreciate the views of Loch Lomond! The place itself is quite understated but the staff were friendly and the food was good!

A wee day out on our boat in some awful weather then we moored up on the jetting at Inchmurin Island............ the rain stops and we had a great wee bar lunch in the restaurant......

10 of us including children travelled to hotel for a birthday lunch. Travelling over on the small boat was exciting for kids. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Anillo y para este pub/restaurante y tienes recogió en un embarcadero para una tarifa de £5 por persona! ¡Qué aventura! Probar el plato, la Isla de las hamburguesas eran buenas y la pera buttercotch refresco delicioso por todas las cuentas. Precioso restaurante con vistas al mar y un bar con un ambiente cálido fuego. Si quieres un viaje con los niños sin duda o una comida romántica que sería perfecto!

Nos estábamos hospedando en Loch Lomond durante una semana y decidimos que sería divertido hacer esto con los niños. Llamamos el día antes y nos dijeron que estar en el embarcadero para las 12:30. Los niños se tomar un bote a una isla para el almuerzo. El viaje fue corto y gracias al clima glorioso impresionante que tuvimos. El joven camarero que nos servía era muy amable y servicial y la comida era encantador.

Por segunda vez en un mes que intentamos comer aquí. Sería una oportunidad excelente!! Teniendo en cuenta que sólo está abierta desde Semana Santa hasta principios de octubre, creo que animaría a los visitantes. No un poco de ella. En ambas ocasiones nos encontramos en nuestro barco. La primera vez que el clima no estaba muy bueno, así estar fuera no era muy adecuado. Como teníamos dos se aceptan perros pequeños con nosotros preguntamos si nos podíamos sentar dentro quizás como el lugar estaba vacío. Que era una habitación de no fumadores, así que tuvimos que irnos.

6 de nosotros tuvimos una gran noche en la isla, y en el hotel para una comida agradable después. Nos recogieron en Arden y volver después de nuestra comida y wee swally. Gracias por una noche mágica de que volveremos pronto.

With a heat wave forecast, my wife and I decided to borrow my sons boat and spend a couple of days on Loch Lomond. Although I have been on the loch countless of times, I have never gone ashore at Inchmurrin. I had been told last year about the restaurant on the island and how good it was and so decided to try it out for myself. We arrived late afternoon and had some drinks and was told that dinners would start at seven o clock. The place is lovely and the restaurant overlooks the loch landing slips. After exploring the island we returned for dinner and my goodness were we surprised with a wonderful varied menu. We had a starter and main course which could not be faulted. Believe me my wife is very hard to please at the best of times and she was delighted. Enough to say we will be returning and would have returned next day Tuesday but that is their day off. Many thanks to owners and staff.

Myself and my family visited inchmurrin yesterday and we were not disappointed... infact we loved it! We phoned ahead a few days in advance and booked our self's on the boat that the hotel runs and an absolute bargain at five pounds a head, added to your bar bill which was great. food was great and very reasonably priced staff were lovely and could not do enough for us. yeah they building is a bit tired and could do with a revamp but it is what it is and I loved it. Only complaint was that we just didn't get enough time to explore the island. can't wait for my return visit. highly recommend this place it's fab and the boat ride is magic!

A visit to Inchmurrin island to meet the Scotts is something that should be on everyones bucket list! A very unique experience and no matter how you can get there you should! Good food, reasonably priced and a very friendly service. We have enjoyed many relaxed hours in the hotel and met some great people. Looking forward to getting back ASAP!

Phone up the day before to arrange for a 5 minute ferry sailing on Loch Lomond taking you to the wonderful island of Inchmurrin. You will receive a warm welcome from the Scott family and good value lunch with time for a short walk up the spine of the island to view Ben Lomond [on a clear day!] Very friendly staff.

I was invited to join friends on a day trip to Inchmurrin Island.We went by car heading past the roundabout junction to Balloch and Luss.Heading toward luss,keep your eyes peeled for the only road sign which leads down a very narrow road to the jetty at Arden.There you will be picked up by the ferry service which is run by the island's hotel.Its £5 return.Check times with the ferryman,but don't pay him till he gets you to the other side,Don't worry he doesn't wear a scary hood or have a sickle.Quite a nice chap actually.The 25 minute crossing was the highlight of the day for me.Stunning views all around.A short voyage which lets you see Loch Lomond from a completely different perspective.The hotel restaurant is a rough and ready place,no flash,The menu was quite extensive.Burgers,Chicken Dishes,Battered Haddock etc.I plumped for the steak and ale pie.The steak and gravy was delicious but the pastry was just not right kinda flat and cardboardy(Best I can do) but the Raspberry Pavlova Dessert was a joy indeed.After your lunch you can go for a walk on the nearby beach or if more energetic walk along the track leading along the spine of the island to it's other beach.Time didn't afford me this pleasure on this trip.Prices are affordable for all menu items.Oh! forgot to mention the delicious soup on offer.Two varieties daily.All in all a great dayout for either families or couples.Tip....Do check weather forecast as the ferry is an open boat,Sou'westers at the ready!

Popped in for lunch while out sailing on the loch, and really wish we didn't bother. We ordered the venison burger with brie (£12) and scampi (£10), both with chips. The place was quiet, with what I can only assume to be regulars or family there as they could freely walk into the kitchen or help themselves behind the bar. Lunch came quickly and I immediately wished we'd went to Balmaha. The burger itself was dwarfed by the bun it was in, with a couple bits of lukewarm brie that looked like they where 'sliced' with a chainsaw, and no relish or anything else so it was a bit of a dry affair. The only thing I can say about the scampi is Farmfoods or Iceland budget! Both dishes came with a handful of chips. Best things I can say about the place is fast service and they had cold beer (we only stayed for one so no drunken sailing!)If your out sailing on loch lomond do yourself a favour, go to Balmaha or Rowardennan.

Went here on Friday night for a meal. The lady looking after the running of the restaurant could not have been any nicer. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. We had called ahead earlier in the day and asked if it would be ok to moor our boat there over night. I remember this place when the bar had just a serving hatch and silver service. It has came along with the times. But has not lost its homely feel. You can get a boat to the island from mainland to experience this wonderful place. I will be back with all my family before this week is out it is that good.

Stayed on the Island for a few days and had lunch most days.All the food was excellent but the Pear Sundae Desert was one the best I've ever had.Unbelievable location , so quiet and relaxing and when the weather is good the outdoor area is a great suntrap. Well worth a visit if you are on Loch Lomond.

Location is great with room to tie up our boat. The service is very good and the food plain and wholesome with something for everyone. Our friends who had never been there before loved it. It was inexpensive food in a stunning setting. Roll on next summer!!

cracking day to sail over to the island for a wonder around. The £5 return added onto your bill for the ferry trip is worth it to take in the views and relax. We sat outside in the sunshine enjoying a lovely meal - generous portions and would recommend the fish & chips! Nice to spend an afternoon especially if lucky enough to get some sunshine!

We had a lovely trip to the island of Inchmurrin today. You have to phone up and book the ferry and your table for a meal. The ferry price of five pounds return is added to your bill in the restaurant. Views from the restaurant are stunning. Service is extremely pleasant and efficient. The lentil soup for starters was very welcome on a nippy day. Main courses of salmon and haggis(separately) were delicious and accompanied by plenty of vegetables. Puddings were Scottish and Antipodean - Cranachan and Kiwi Pavlova. We had a lovely walk up the hill to help the lunch to settle. The whole experience was lovely - and the dog enjoyed it too.

We went to inchmurrin on monday to celebrate our anniversary. The ferry ride is lovely and although short you really feel like you are doing something different. The menu has something to suit everyone and food is of a good standard but the staffmake the extra effort to chat and get to know you. We loved our wee afternoon on the island and we were even bought a scone with a candle on it by the owners when they found out it was our anniversary. A special memory,which we are going to make a yearly event. Also bought island eggs to bring home which are delicious, a great advert for all thats good about scotland.

The extra effort involves booking ahead and catching the ferry (carries 12), which in my view adds to the pleasure of the experience. The trip is pleasant on all but the windiest of days. The pub is comfortable, with a great view of the loch, and the "pub grub" is very nicely served, good quality and reasonably priced. The wine list is limited but adequate and the service is excellent. It makes for a great day out.

We had a lovely Lunch on Inchmurrin today, food and service was excellent. A really fun way to go out for a meal and spend an afternoon exploring the island. We will definitely be back (and we bumped into Kevin Bridges!)

Our first visit to Inchmurrin island and definitely won't be the last.Accessible only by boat or if you're not short of a bob or two, the sea plane, Inchmurrin is a wonderful island situated at the southern end of Loch Lomond. The ferry crossing leaves from Burnfoot, just off the Arden roundabout on the A82 and is booked by phone directly for the 15 minute crossing - leave your car at the free Burnfoot car park.The Island is wonderful, and even better than wonderful on a bright sunny late afternoon like the one which welcomed us on our visit. It really is a great place to explore, even the rough tracks which crisscross the island are signposted to guide you on your way. Once back at the bar/restaurant you can relax and enjoy a decent pint, good food and great company.The restaurant is very comfortable, the food is very good quality, friendly service and at affordable prices - remember this is an island - exclusive - and if you choose your timing carefully - The Island could be yours for the evening or day.Magical - We loved it - views to die for.

We have visited Inchmurrin for seven years .The Scott Family are very welcoming and nothing is to much trouble.The Ben is very clean and has everything you can need..But the breathtaking view of Ben Lomand from the veranda cannot be beaten..Anonther brillant and relaxing holiday..Thankyou :)

It is amazing I loved the lunch so much! The food was great! It's a shame they get a lot of camper who shouldn't be there saying it's terrible when it's really great everyone should go in the summer it's great and I loved the burger I had ! Explicitly the owner(doogle) he is a great man and I will be returning everyone should go unless you are camping then you should phone before hand

When you book a table in advance, the restaurant will send a ferry over for you (for a fee).The food was reasonable, and was the price. Nothing too exciting, but honest tasty grub in an interesting setting

A meal on an island situated in a Scottish Loch, sounds romantic and I'm sure it is. Sadly, We were never to have this premise confirmed. Three times we rang and left messages on a machine over several days and on every occasion the owners said that She would get back to us at the earliest opportunity. That opportune moment has not arisen.We even went to the appallingly and insuffiently signposted jetty where the ferry to the island sets sail. Probably. It was very hard to confirm. The signage was really that bad. We looked longingly across the Loch to the beautiful Island, thought of dinner and then drove 10 miles along the Loch side to Duck Bay and had an excellent lunch with great service from people who know how to use a telephone.9/10 for the idea. 0/10 for execution!

My two friends and i visited loch lomond for the first time the other day and were excited to see the sights and get some good wakeboarding time under our belts. We arrived at the slipway at Balloch and registered our boats. They said that Inchmurrin would be an ideal place to camp for the night. So off we went and set up camp, had a set on the water had some food and then took the boat round to the local hotel on the island so we could have a drink. The minute we stepped in we were lectured for not having the appropriate navigational equipment e.g lights (law states if a vessel is under 7m it does not need one) and we continued to get bullied by the owner of the island who kept saying we should have asked him to stay on HIS island even though the park rangers specifically recommended it to us. After that died down we didn't want to stay much longer so we left politely saying thanks to everyone as we walked out the door. Once we got to the boat the pull chord which starts the engine snapped. Now, being on an island in the middle of a loch you would think that some assistance would be greatly appreciated by us. However, the only help we got was from a couple of guys who gave us a shiftier to try and fix the problem. We then sat out on the hotel decking for 6 hours as no one offered to help us and the directions we got given to our tent were wrong, plus the fact it was pouring down with rain and our torch ran out of battery. We then asked the next day if they could tow our boat for us and we got a straight no! We suffered because of our boat breaking which could have happened to anyone, in that case i would have at least offered them something to help them. I would never ever recommend this place to anyone unless you are up for a good bit of slating, and a horrible welcome. I would also like to point out that im not just some idiot who doesn't know what he is doing. I am a commercial skipper on boats with more power than most super cars, with over 6000 hours under my belt just before people start thinking i'm not. Inchmurrin=no!!!

Recently spent time on the idea intending to camp an the north end of the island as guided by the national park rangers who run Loch Lomond all was going well until we took our boat down to the hotel for a few drinks and experiencing engine trouble on the way back we asked for help first we asked for the tools to fix the boat and were met with the feeling of being an inconvenience to the extremely drunk owner after receiving no tools we were advised to walk the 1.5 miles or so to the camp site in the pouring rain and pitch black. We took the decision to turn back to the hotel and seek refuge there, we found the place all locked up and lights off so left outside on the dark and driving rain we phoned inside to which we were told that it was to stay all locked up and if we thought our situation was that bad to dial 999. We ended up holding out for morning where we were told there would be no chance of being towed ashore. Probably for the best as the very drunk owner was also the ferry skipper. Thankfully the park rangers came to our assistance with the tools we needed cannot praise them enough the staff and owner of inchmurrin on the other hand left us out in the rain without the decency to lend us a spanner or let us hire a room for the night would seriously advise you don't visit this place just incase you encounter an emergency during your stay that the islanders turn a blind eye to

I had been to Inchmurrin years ago for dinner and on one sunny evening going over the loch to the island my then boyfriend decided why dont we get married and have the reception in this island. A year later we had it booked.Dorothy helped us with everything, the wedding was fantastic, the setting amazing and the food was out of this world, lovely Scottish Fair.I ripped my wedding dress (it got caught on the toilet door), her staff helped sew it up for me, you wouldnt get that kind of service in a large hotel. My wedding although now 10 years ago was really lovely and I would definately reccomend this as an unusual wedding venue.Sadly my marriage has now ended but my daughter has never been over to inchmurrin, but we are absolutely going to try to get over there this summer.Highly recommended, no place quite like this.

The only way to reach here is by boat as its on an island in the loch on entering we were met by member of staff and a massive coal fire and believe me we needed the heat lol , cant fault here , everything from friendly staff to gorgeous views were fantastic, defo ticked all the boxes

Inchmurrin is a must see on Loch Lomond. The scott Family have set up a fantastic family run business for everyone to enjoy from the lovely prepared home made food to the walks and sights on the island. sit out side and take in the fresh air and enjoy the views of the loch and round about. From taking the islands ferry to arriving on the mail boat tour or even on your own boat it caters for everyone. a must see

I have been going to this island for dinner for many years and any time I have visitors staying with me I make sure to take them here for dinner. The evening starts with a short trip by boat across Loch Lomond to the island and then its like visiting your favourite aunt and uncle. Mr and Mrs Scott make you feel so welcome and if you are in the market for a new kilt Mrs Scott's daughter in law is an accomplished kilt maker. Food is excellent, well cooked and service is immaculate, you never have to wait for anything and nothing is too much bother. I took a Vegan visitor there once but Mrs Scott managed to make up an excellent meal for her, without any warning beforehand. This remains my very favourite Scottish restaurant of all time.

We sailed the short journey to from Balloch to Inchmurrin Island for lunch and tied up the boat at the hotel's jetty. Although the family run restaurant and bar is dated, it is comfortable and welcoming and has the charm of a place which has remained bravely unaffected by the passing of time. Photographs on the walls of the lounge bar depict interesting and important moments in the history of the island and its owners. The island itself has walks, a farm and a ruined castle which adds to the excitement of being off the beaten track. The restaurant/bar staff are friendly and welcoming and the menu is well-balanced with a Scottish flair. We ate in the dining room which has wonderful views of the loch. Much of the food is produced on the island farm and is of very high quality. We chose home made soup followed by scampi and chips. Both were very good. The character and island location of the restaurant and focus on home produce make this well worth a visit. The restaurant also runs a ferry service from Arden to the island. However, the restaurant does close for the winter, so best check with the owners in advance. Really looking forward to going back next summer.

We have long been visitors to Inchmurrin Island and have always enjoyed the food and hospitality on offer. That fact it can only be reached by boat (your own or there is a ferry) seems to make the visit very special. It has become a regular for us and one that all the family, young and old thoroughly enjoy. Dorothy and the rest of the Scott family who run the hotel (and own the Island) cant be more helpful. If you find yourself anywhere near to Loch Lomond, get yourself on a boat and across to Inchmurrin. You wont regret it!
