Introduction

The Winnock Hotel dates back to the 18th century and throughout history has always offered lodging to travellers passing through by Loch Lomond and the Trossachs areas.

Formerly a coaching inn, The Winnock hotel has been tastefully restored and extended to its present day form. With 73 bedrooms, cosy lounges; many with open log fires, a characterful restaurant, function room and public lounge bar, the hotel offers comfort and friendly, welcoming service.

History to the present day

The oldest part of the building dates back to the late 1700s but it has been said that there have been buildings on the site of the hotel dating back much further.

Originally thatched cottages and lived in by four local families, the building once incorporated a "Milk Bar" or "Alehouse".

The Capercaillie Room in the hotel was an addition in the 1940s and played host to many a dance with the Canadian Soldiers posted locally. Some guests still write to this day, telling of their fond memories of dancing there.

Food and Drinks

The Merlin Restaurant offers dinner by candlelight. With exposed stonework and original beams, the setting adds to the hotel's historic ambience.

The Ptarmigan (pronounced Tar-mi-gan) Bar is a cosy pub & lounge offering bar meals and drinks from the bar at pub prices. Famous for its home made steak pies, the comfy leather chairs and sofas offer the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine or a pint to wash down some traditional pub grub.
