Great place, beautiful lodges and amazing scenery. The lodges were spacious, clean and modern (Could do with a towel rack for drying clothes), the on site gym and hut were really nice and handy. The location with the jetty on Loch Lomond was very handy especially with paddle boards. The three lads on site were helpful, love the accent. Overall its totally worth the money and such a beautiful location when the weather is nice

Great place, beautiful scenery

We are surprised to read a few negative reviews of this place and its staff because our experience entirely was wonderful. The cabins are very modern, high tech, fully equipped and impecable. We enjoyed jet skis, cayaques, water skiing, swimming and trampoline, fishing, barbecue and hot tub. Most importantly, the staff on site was extremely friendly and helpful, making sure we had a perfect stay. From 6 to 58 years old, we all had a blast. We live this place and look forward to returning some day.

From the moment we made our reservation, they clearly explained their alcohol policy, provided a list of their in stock beverages and even offered to purchase for us any other alcohol we wanted to consume on site. We found their list to be vary and reasonably priced. 

One of our best family holidays ever

Just back from an amazing weekend at Ardlui Retreat , fabulous 5* accommodation, stayed in the loch view lodges , staff were great, welcoming and friendly , fantastic views over the loch and Marina , would absolutely recommend , obviously the weather contributed to the perfect weekend , can’t wait to go back !

Fabulous 5 ⭐️

Just back from a terrific weekend at Ardlui retreat!  The accommodation (we stayed in one of the lodges) was of a great standard and very modern..
Staff were very accommodating and could not have been more helpful during our stay. Facilities were excellent, particularly the gym and hot tub.
Location wise it’s hard to find a more beautiful place in Scotland, absolutely stunning…


Weekend away

We booked the waterfront house for 9 days, as previous visitors to the retreat, we eagerly awaited the long journey to Loch Lomond and our rest in this truly wonderful place.
It is difficult to describe how the retreat can make you feel, if you have a stressful life/job or want to go somewhere really special and ‘disappear’ mentally, emotionally and physically, then this is the place.
Loch Lomond is awe inspiring and being able to look out over the Loch from early morning and see the mountains change colour and texture through the day is simply breathtaking. Add in the quality of the accommodation, the sheer luxury of the entire resort and the wonderfully attentive staff and you can immerse yourself in this real retreat.
We enjoyed all of the facilities on offer, the jet ski was fabulous and our guide allowed us to have some fun, but kept us safe. The heated salt water infinity pool alongside the huge hot tube soothed away our aches and we relaxed as we gazed out over Ardlui. This was a very special occasion following the loss of our granddaughter during Covid and a difficult 10 years where we missed big wedding anniversaries for various reasons, I organised flowers, gifts and our favourite wines/champagne and the retreat organised a private dining experience with a professional chef. That evening was magical and my dear wife was so happy with her lobster thermidor.
The staff chauffeured our party to Cameron House for dinner and the spa on another day and were only a phone call away if needed.
I have run out of superlatives to describe the retreat, the location, the accommodation, the staff and the service, if you want to visit/stay somewhere really special and experience luxury most of us will never enjoy every day, then visit Ardlui Retreat.


What a place to stay!

Just returned from a fabulous weekend at Ardlui Retreat.
The standard of the chalets are beyond belief… the beds , pillows , bathrooms, kitchen , hot tubs are just outstanding.
We had a bbq and rented jet skis .. the staff were very helpful, polite and just went out of their way to be helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
The cleanliness and general maintenance of the estate is first class.
Without doubt ..would return in a minute.

Fabulous Weekend

2 weeks on from our long weekend & we are still talking about this daily. By far, this is the nicest lodge we’ve stayed in. Our lodge (Innis) & the grounds were immaculate - they looked brand new. I’m never sure what to take to lodges in terms of kitchen utensils etc but this kitchen had more than my own - a huge amount of dishes, glassware, utensils, oven dishes along with high end appliances including a wine fridge. Each bedroom was stunning, with a super king in the main bedroom. The pillows were very soft feather pillows, so if you like something firmer, perhaps bring your own. Plenty towels available & the big towel was huge - excellent for coming out the hot tub. The retreat felt very safe due to being gated. The only thing we felt we’d have benefited from is a towel radiator/heater somewhere in the lodge purely from the point of drying our swimming costumes/trunks however we were blessed with good weather & used the portable rotary airer to hang up our clothes. 

If you are considering Ardlui Retreat - just do it! We’ll definitely be back when money allows.

Faultless…

I cannot rate this place enough! We stayed in the house for my husbands 40th birthday celebrations with friends and I can honestly say it’s one of the best experiences we have had. Amber went above an beyond to make the weekend memorable and special. The staff could not do enough for you and nothing was too much hassle. We had the private chef in for a dining experience and it was amazing the food was of a very high standard. I would honestly give this place a 10/10 I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. We most definitely will be returning.

Had to think hard about writing this review. Why? Because this place was so special I didn’t really want anyone else to know. 
From the minute the gates roll open, be prepared to leave real life behind.
We stayed in the main house, the Retreat. With 5 adults and 4 kids. Having just lost our dad, we wanted to be together for what would have been his 62nd birthday. 
The pictures on the website don’t do this place justice. It’s huge and immaculate. It’s got every appliance. It smells great. It feels a bit like a movie. 
We arrived and immediately called to book additional night. This place is special.
We spent a huge amount of time in the kitchen and even in February, outside at the pool. The pool is perfect. I am fussy. We stay in a lot of nice places. This place feels a bit like you’re the first person to ever use. It’s spotless. The pool is so well maintained. Infinity style. Looking out over loch and hills. Round the pool there is pool table, pod, bbq hut, outdoor loo, ice bath and hot tub.
We spent hours each day, playing with the kids out here. 
The kitchen is very well appointed. Every appliance you could want. We loved the blade beer machines and the coffee machine. Was great touch. Every pot, glass and plate is top of the range. No making do. This is luxury. Blinds are electric. Floors are under heated. 
We enjoyed cosy nights out in the pod and then back to the living room and round the fire. 
The 2 master bedrooms are enormous, with views over pool and out to the Loch. Bedding is the best. So comfortable. 
We had one room made up as a twin, where they set up a PS5 for our kids. Great touch. 
We found the concept of having to preorder the alcohol a little different, but once there, I understood and it felt right. No lugging it round with you and beautifully presented and chilled for your arrival. Sure it costs more, but you don’t need to go out and buy and then squeeze it in the car to bring with you.
We did try to book a chef, unfortunately it couldn’t happen and despite this not being the retreats fault, they insisted on buying our dinner. We were reluctant to do this, it seemed too generous but they insisted and not only did they deliver all the food, they delivered much more. Huge fillet of beef. 6 steaks, prawns, ice cream, local cheeses, sweets, cakes. We were overwhelmed. So kind. Amazing service. 
Things to note. Remember to bring. Tea towels. Cloths. Hand soap. We couldn’t find tea towels or cloths. Had to ask for some, which they delivered, no problem. No hand soap in upstairs bathrooms. Only things I could think of which we missed. Everything else was perfect.
All the staff we met were so helpful. So smiley and nothing was a problem. 
We didn’t do much exploring. Just really enjoyed the house and all it had to offer. Planning our next trip. This place is a dream. The memories will stay with us forever.  



This place is a dream. 

We have just returned from a 2 night stay in a premier lodge for a friends birthday. 
Absolutely wonderful: 
The lodge is beautiful, with everything you may need from dressing gowns, chargers, speakers, lots of little extras so much thought and consideration has obviously went into each lodge. 
Showers and beds great. Hot tub was lovely it’s was a cold January and the hot tub was glorious. 
We headed out to the Drovers pub which was a fantastic night and the staff drove us there and back which was both unexpected and very welcomed. 
They could not do enough to make sure we had an amazing experience. 
We were a little Dubious about the alcohol policy. 
But the mini bars were well stocked and very reasonable with plenty of choices. 
There was a small blip with water supply which was sorted out quickly professionally and we were kept well informed. 

All in all a wonderful, relaxing, beautiful stay in a fabulous slice of heaven. 

Staff are fantastic and lovely. 

Thank you very much we will be back !
