Cameron House
Just a 30-minute drive from the city centre, on the southern shore of Loch Lomond, lies Cameron House. A championship golf course and classic Scottish landscape are enough in themselves to tempt you, but the 74 subtly tartaned guest rooms and four restaurants should seal the deal. Rooms from £119 (€140).
