The Caledonian Claymore Hotel


Your hotel

Set at the foot of the Arrochar Alps and right on the shores of Loch Long, the Caledonian Claymore Hotel enjoys one of the most memorable locations in Scotland. Designed and built as a manor house in the 19th century, this characterful hotel offers 86 comfortable bedrooms, many with views across the gardens towards the loch and surrounding mountains – and if you’re lucky, you might even spot deer roaming nearby.

When you stay with Caledonian Travel, you can relax knowing everything is taken care of, from comfortable coach travel to warm Scottish Highlands hospitality once you arrive.

The Caledonian Claymore Hotel is one of our customers' favourite hotels. The traditionally furnished hotel joined the Caledonian Hotel Collection family in August 2023 and has seen significant investment ever since. With a friendly team on hand to make you feel at home, it’s a place where guests return year after year.

Just a few miles from Loch Lomond and set within the beautiful Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, the hotel is perfectly placed for exploring this spectacular part of the country. The scenery is impressive in every direction – from the drive through the Highlands to the uninterrupted views across Loch Long from the hotel itself.

About Loch Lomond


Loch Lomond sits within a stunning national park, offering a mix of calm waters, forest walks, and traditional villages. 

It’s a popular place for boat trips, walks and hikes, and enjoying the landscape up close. 

Many visitors like to take the time to explore both the loch itself and the surrounding hillsides, which give the area its character and charm. You’ll find viewpoints that make the most of the scenery and small towns where you can grab a bite, wander local shops, or simply relax by the water. 

Whether you’re planning a day out or a longer escape, it’s a spot where things feel easy. When you book with Caledonian Travel, your hotel stays are arranged so everything runs smoothly. The accommodation is selected for comfort and convenience, often giving good access to the places you’ll want to visit. 

Rooms are well-kept and suitable for a relaxing break after a day of exploring. You can look forward to a warm welcome, a friendly atmosphere and just be able to focus on the trip itself, knowing you’ll have a warm place to return to each evening.
