Cameron House Review

This is one of the great country houses of Scotland, the ancestral home of the Smollets. Its most distinguished son was Tobias Smollet, the 18th-century novelist. Today this house has been converted into top-rated accommodations, with one of the best spas in this part of Scotland. The resort also contains some of the finest indoor leisure facilities in the area. The smallest rooms are called "house rooms," with standard rooms being slightly larger and better. Best of all are the spacious suites, furnished with four-poster beds. Many of the furnishings are in the traditional Georgian style, with dark mahogany pieces set against floral bathrooms.

Children are warmly welcomed, and the hotel has a supervised playroom where parents can leave kids for a couple of hours while they relax in the gorgeous lagoon pool or the spa. The Scottish and French cuisine served in the Georgian Room is among the most refined in this part of Scotland. You can also dine informally in two other restaurants. Many sporting adventures, ranging from golf to fishing to private yacht parties, can be arranged.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; bar; babysitting; children's center; golf course; health club & spa; pool (indoor); room service; watersports equipment/rentals

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
