The flight from Jersey to Glasgow was a delayed so we were a little late arriving in Loch Lomond.
Our hire car is lovely. We received a free upgrade to a BMW 3 Series estate, and we are looking forward to road-tripping across Scotland in luxury (even if Phil says the car is a bit “gutless”).
Our first hotel is called the Duck Bay Hotel & Restaurant. It’s right on the bank of the Loch, with its own pontoon and views over the Arden Hills. The rooms are comfortable, and we each have little patios.
Once we had settled in, Dad and I went for a walk along the banks of the Loch whilst Phil sorted out the car (phone pairing stuff). The Loch was very calm, and it was lovely to see people having picnics on the shoreline, building sandcastles and relaxing.
After our walk, Phil and I went for a cup of tea and cake in the Hotel’s café whilst dad went for a rest.
We met up again for dinner at 7pm. The food was lovely, and the Loch views were stunning as the sun set. The conversation in the table behind us was rather intriguing too! We even sampled some Lowlands whisky.
