A wonderful place!

This is our second Hogamanay at the Shore House and we were thrilled to bits about the place and the location! It is ideal for walks and hikes in the mountains (even in the snow) and close to shopping and kilt rentals.

This house was ideal for our group of 9. It has great access to Lochs Long and Fyne, and provides a comfortable and spacious base. And a view to die for...

Paradise on Loch Lomond

We were recently lucky enough to stay at the Shore House in Tarbet right on the shore of Loch Lomond. It was absolutely perfect and beautiful! We traveled from Canada with our family and inlaws. We were a group of 10 including 4 kids. There was more than enough space for all of us in the house and every bedroom was great...although we especially loved the ones with a view of the lake and mountains! Our favourite room to spend time in was the windowed sitting area in the back. So relaxing after our adventure filled days exploring the area. The house was very clean and we only wish we could have stayed longer. The location is excellent. A short walk to the Tarbet Hotel, Pier, bike rentals and ferry rides. We also did a hike to Arrochar walking from the house and there's a nice little playground across the street for the kids. The owners were also great to deal with. They answered our questions right away and popped over to help fix the internet! We hope we can return one day. Thanks for making our vacation so special.

Stunning accommodation on Loch Lomond

Wonderful family accommodation for our family gathering to celebrate our daughters wedding. The house was amazing, plenty of rooms with comfortable beds, absolutely stunning views of the loch. Beautiful garden and plenty of parking. Discount offered on the cruise on the loch which all 17 of the immediate family did - choppy day but still worth it. Excellent facilities and perfectly located. Nothing at all to complain about - it was simply perfect.

What a place

The house and location are just perfect for a family trip in Scotland. Considering the size of the house, it was incredibly clean and the facilities were more than enough for the capacity. With all these en suites, the kids felt like Kardashians. The added touch of being left bread, milk butter etc was such a kind yet unexpected gesture and provided the warmest welcome to kick start our week at shore house. I have already recommended to friends to check it out.

Lovely stay at the shore house

We spend 5 lovely days at the shore house with our daughter and her family. Everyone had a fantastic few days. We enjoyed the garden and the private pebble beach at the bottom of the garden.

Late September

Shore House is in a beautiful location on the banks of Loch Lomond with a large garden and its own beach. The house Is dated but was very clean with a good supply of logs for the open fire. There was a problem with the heating system which was quickly remedied by the owners however our query about a missing sitting room curtain was unanswered, The master bedroom ensuite smelled slightly damp. Despite these minor irritations, our party which included 2 dogs and a baby had a lovely stay.

Short stay

Booked for a family birthday so had an age range from 4 weeks to 90. The welcome pack was much appreciated and Liz was amazing, she helped us with a heating problem even when she wasn’t on duty. Only one personal thing, I prefer a softer mattress

The shore house

we loved everything about Scotland and shore house, we would definitely come back and would like to stay at the same house again, just one thing was missing, some hooks in the bathroom/en suites would have been great xx

wonderful location and view. Well spaced out, comfortable accommodation. Great service too.

My wider family (8 people) had a fantastic stay at Shore House, Tarbet. The view alone is enough to take your breath away. The house is effectively a convenient, single level layout with the bedrooms away from the living accommodation, which makes it really nicely spaced (noise, away from cooking smells etc). Lovely mature, well-managed garden which touches the Loch. Plenty of kitchen utensils, large full height fridge and large full height freezer, utility room and 3 bedrooms have en-suite facilities with one of the larger bedrooms (without en suite) being alongside the family bathroom, so this all works well. Tarbet is really convenient for getting around this Loch as well as the nearby ones (Long, Fyne, Katharine etc) and also for taking the ferry around Lomond and to the other side (eastern). all in all a wonderful stay. thanks so much! adam

Even nicer than expected

Shore cottage was even nicer than expected. Spacious and well equipped, spotlessly clean and with many thoughtful touches. The views were fantastic and it was lovely to be able to wander through the garden and down to the lake (we swam there every day). Although some things were shut locally due to lockdown, we still managed to do nearly everything we planned including wake-boarding, hiring bikes and taking a boat trip. Liz was exceptionally helpful and flexible with lockdown uncertainties - responding very quickly to emails, changing dates and so on. Our whole experience was very positive and we would certainly go again and highly recommend to others.

Ladies Weekend Break Tarbet Loch Lomond

Great weekend was had by us, ladies at Shore House, Tarbet.We are a group of friends who meet up annually for a quality catch up. The property was ideal, clean and well equipped,directly situated on the shore with beautiful views over the loch and mountains. We had a lovely time just chilling, drinking and enjoying the beautiful views from all of the windows. We also received a discount for a boat trip which was also enjoyable. We would thoroughly recommend and certainly be back.

Wonderful stay on the Bonnie Bonnie Banks

Family holiday - some of us drove up from London and others from Ayrshire. The house and location looked great on the website - but they were even more amazing on arrival!!! we stayed from 18th - 24th September - waking up to a view of the loch each morning and the fabulous house and garden made it difficult to leave to explore the surrounding area. more than enough room for 10 people and great living space for everyone to share or have some quieter time in the evenings. lots to do and see in the surrounding area - including cruises on the Loch which are a must!!! We had a fabulous time and would certainly return.
