Shearings Self Drive Holidays to the CotswoldsIt may be the second largest loch in Scotland, but Loch Lomond is the most popular to visit on a Shearings self drive holiday. It’s located in the Trossachs National Park and surrounded by beautiful mountains and has the main road travelling alongside the full length of it. There are towns and villages dotted around the edges of it, such as Luss, Balloch, Rowardennan and Drymen, which are perfect for stopping at for refreshments and relaxation.

Travelling around Loch Lomond is possible on-foot or walking, although it is very large and it is a good idea to just do a portion of it. There is a gateway centre called Loch Lomond Shores, which has shops, an educational cinema and information about the area. There are many places to park your car if you want to get out and breathe in that fresh, Scottish air and take in the surroundings.

Being on a Shearings self drive holiday allows you to venture off and explore this stunning part of Scotland, and whether you park up and go hiking or walking, or simply drive around in your car, you’ll be blown away by the wonderful scenery that is before you.

Staying near to the loch at the Tarbet Hotel is a great way to relax and enjoy yourself surrounded by Ben Lomond and housed in a stunning castle-like hotel. The gorgeous hotel is decorated in a very regal fashion with views of the mountains and the lake in front of it. There are large gardens and aches of land to wander around while you’re staying at Tarbet Hotel. The building itself is more than 200 years old, yet it has been lovingly restored and updated in a sympathetic manner to 21st century standards. The hotel matches the drama of the scenery and continues to be one of the most popular hotels to stay at.
