Duck Bay Hotel & Restaurant

I LOVE this restaurant! I had the best cooked breakfast there (and I am very fussy!). It was beautifully decorated for autumn and we got a lovely view over the loch. The food was piping hot and the coffee is strong. They offer alternative milk and gluten free options. I cannot praise this place enough. As a haiku: Autumn hues, loch views, Breakfast for a fussy taste, Praise for warmth and brews.

Just back from an overnight stay my boyfriend booked for my Birthday. We stayed in suite 1 and Wow what a room!! Absolutely stunning views of the loch and hills. Wow factor when you enter the room. The room is also very spacious and was spotless!! We went for dinner and the food was 10/10 as well as quick service and friendly attentive staff. Breakfast was included with the room. You can help yourself to the pastries, toast, jams, fruit etc and order the hot food from a server. I will be back again and 100% booking suite 1 again. Stunning.

Overall nice two night stay. Our loch view room was nice, but on the small side. Bed not the comfiest, but fine for a night or two. Food and drinks in the restaurant are good, would definitely recommend the Ox Cheeks, and the black pudding stuffed chicken. Fish and chips were a large portion, but the chips were disappointing. Service and breakfast was good, and so was the food. One of the main negative points is you need to exit the hotel and walk outside to get to the restaurant/bar area…not great in poor weather.

Stopped in for afternoon tea. ( didnt book, got taken quickly) Very nice Indeed. I Asked to have no cucumber sandwiches and we got some extra of the others, which were freshly made and delicious. Cakes were super. It was great value. With amazing views of and was on the banks of Loch Lomond. Staff were great.

This place is getting unfavorable reviews due to their inept restaurant staff (for dinner). The rooms were well appointed, in a fantastic setting, and the hotel staff were kind and accommodating. Honestly, this place is gorgeous! The restaurant staff for breakfast (Windows on the Loch) were attentive and fantastic. The dinner restaurant is a completely different story. Super slow service and inattentive staff despite seeming to be well staffed. So if you come to Duck Bay for only the dinner portion, I’m sorry to say, you’ll be disappointed with the service. The food was good, but the service was awful. I would recommend this place as a vacation/holiday destination, I’m just not sure I would willingly have dinner here again. We considered cancelling our accommodations after reading several poor reviews in the past several months but we’re happy we didn’t. The hotel side of Duck Bay is perfect! Please ignore the folks giving this place bad reviews due to them only having dinner here.

We were seated at a large booth round table and given menus. (Menus smelled like body oder). Good choice of foods on the menu, food and drinks arrived in good time and there were no complaints from any of us. It got busy in the restaurant around 2pm and I had to go up to the host stand to get someone to take my payment after waiting for 15 minutes at the table with the bill. All in all, would recommend.

This is the 2nd time we have visited and both times we have had a really decent meal. The setting of the restaurant is idyllic. It’s rather on the pricey side but we all really did enjoy the food so it didn’t matter. It was nice to receive a friendly and welcoming service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, we have been once when they were very busy and once when they were quiet and both visits were great 👍🏻
