Assistant Director of Food and Beverage
Though a short drive from Glasgow, Cameron House feels a million miles away from everyday life. Set in 400 acres of beautiful Scottish countryside, it's considered one of the country's finest 5-star luxury resorts. Why? Because it's home to a world-class spa with rooftop infinity pool, 18-hole championship golf course, five-star accommodation, impressive restaurants, a marina, and a choice of exhilarating and relaxing outdoor activities.
For meetings and conferences, Cameron House provides a truly flexible choice of function spaces in a truly memorable setting, while our extensive corporate offering also includes a range of team-building and social activities.
The romantic setting of Loch Lomond also makes Cameron House the perfect place for spectacular weddings. We can tailor bespoke wedding for guests, from intimate celebrations and larger events for up to 400 guests, or anything in between.
Add all the above together, and we have something very special, all that's missing could be you.

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.
