We’ve got everything you need from a country pub near you. 

The Balloch House was built in the early 18th Century, when it was the place where ferries ran from across the River Leven. It became a hotel in the early 19th century since when The Balloch has had a number of famous visitors including; Hans Christian Anderson in 1847 and the Empress Eugenie, wife of Louis-Napolean Bonaparte's nephew in 1860.

Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.

With tremendous views of Loch Lomond, Balloch House has hosted royalty and celebrities, and dates to the 1700s when it was used to run ferries across the River Leven. Balloch comes from the Gaelic 'bealach' meaning mountain pass.

Whether it's a walk with the dog, or an explore around the local area, there is plenty to do around Loch Lomond.
