Join The Team
Join Cameron House and you're joining a five-star resort with a long history and an abundance of ambition. The original estate was home to the Smollett family for over 300 years, including the famous 18th Century novelist and poet, Tobias Smollett. Tobias travelled widely, yet the vision of his Scottish home was never lost, "I have seen Lake Garda, Albana, De Visco, Bolsetta and Geneva. Upon my honour, I prefer Loch Lomond to them all." Naturally, we agree with Tobias, wholeheartedly.
Since the estate was sold for development in 1986, Cameron House has grown both in reputation and size. Today, we're all about creating memorable experiences that exceed expectations every time. How do we do this? By providing our particular brand of five-star experience across everything we do - from our accommodation, award-winning spa, and championship golf to our choice of dining options and huge range of resort activities - all against the beautiful backdrop of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
