We are currently staying at duck bay and wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Our first issue was we had travelled 4 hours to stay here, when we got in to our room we rang reception and asked for a table at the restaurant. They booked us in for 5 so we had 20 mins to get ready. Rushing about to be told there’s no room for us in there. The gentleman said we could order off the menu for room service. The dishes were then left outside our room and not removed until we took them down stairs ourselves the next day. Our next issue was we had left our key in our room I told her our room number which she told me we weren’t in that room but the one next door. Whilst down there I spoke to the receptionist to make her aware of the noise levels from the people in the room next door (the walls are paper thin) and that we hadn’t got any sleep at all as we had been kept awake by them until. I asked if they were staying the second night to be told they were (they weren’t she was talking about us which I now realise due to the key issue) she then done my key for another room even after me telling her I was in the room I was in. I came upstairs tried the key for it to not work to have to go back down for her to redo it to the number I said. The second night the hotel was a lot quieter so I had hopes of sleeping, the hotel had deliveries from 6 which woke up the hotel up. The break fast in the morning was cold and wasn’t the nicest. I wouldn’t stay here again although decorated lovely the hotel is not

Homely Hotel

We had a lovely stay at the Duck Bay Marina, this is our second time staying at this hotel. The Hotel has been renovated since the last time we stayed. Our room was very comfortable and cosy. We were able to go from our room and see the lovely view of Loch Lomond. Breakfast was very nice with plenty of choice. All staff were welcoming and friendly. We also had a really nice meal in the restaurant.

Nice location - more of a holiday hotel

Room was nice but very small and only a small double bed. Location is lovely and we had a decked area to sit outside. Bathroom small but had everything in. Stayed on business and did not like having to provide £100 room deposit. Restaurant food was lovely for both evening meal and breakfast. Probably would not book again because of deposit and we did not sleep very well as used to a kingsize bed

I had booked this as a surprise for my husband. We arrived early so room was not ready. Checked in and was a bit disappointed as room was facing the car park. I had contacted the hotel prior to arrival as it was a surprise birthday pressie. However asked if there was any rooms with a view of the loch. There was a surcharge of £40 or £60 which was a little disappointing and an unplanned spend. However we upgraded as it was a special occasion to a suite which had beautiful views of the loch. Room was initially freezing and took hours to heat up but worth it.

Terrific stay.

We had a fabulous stay at Duck Bay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, delivered excellent service at all times. We loved our room. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable with fantastic views down the length of Loch Lomond towards Ben Lomond. The food was tremendous and good value. A fantastic experience all round.

We booked the executive suite overlooking the lock. The room size was great and we had easy access to a private patio. We ordered room service that arrived promptly. Food was lovely and the staff were very pleasant. Lots of water activities nearby and a bus stop across from the hotel if travelling via public transport. Scenery is unreal. Would recommend and will absolutely be back.

Expensive but you pay for where you are

Bed bit small, but otherwise comfortable. Decaff choices would be good. Only one biscuit for couple sharing seemed a bit sparse! Staff were all lovely especially breakfast team.
