Duck Bay Hotel & Restaurant in Argyll & Bute

Visited Duck Bay yesterday with 2 friends for lunch. I had the smoked haddock with salmon gratin and it was fantastic my friends were also very happy with what they had ordered. The restaurant was busy and the service was excellent. Couldn't find fault even the weather was fine and the loch was beautiful as ever. I'm sure anyone going there will be more than satisfied, book ahead and ask for a windowside table.

Excellent! A bit busy but during school holiday period to be expected. We were shown to a lovely table at the window overlooking the loch with good service. Good range of choices on the menu. Starter sizes were enough for a lunch. Beautifully presented, hot and tasty. The 'mini' mess pudding is more maxi than mini suitable for 2 sharing. We'll definitely be back.

Only stopped for a drink which was well-kept, well served and reasonably priced (not so the crisps at £1.50 a packet!). Decent seats outside, but no view of the loch as all their seats facing the water were out of the sun and 10C cooler. Clean and well kept. Staff complying with face covering guidelines gives further reassurance that the emphasis on health and customer care is as it should be in these COVID times, having vulnerable family members.

We enjoyed a delicious Valentine's dinner on Sunday. Although we arrived 45 minutes late; as we forgot our booking time- we were accommodated in the busy restaurant. Service could have been quicker but the food was freshly made and very tasty. Prawn cocktail and haggis balls were delicious. Portions are large but made room for pudding.Good choice of alcohol-free gin and beer. Sticky toffee so good my husband almost had another!

Lovely setting, over looking the loch. very good and friendly staff. Plenty of seating, plenty of parking. Food was good, really enjoyed the goats cheese starter. The Cajun chicken was nice but spoilt by the, what I think was microwave rice. Eton mess was tasty. One between 2 was plenty. Highly recommended venue will come again!

Amazing hotel, staff and amazing food, the sticky toffee Sunday in the restaurant is a game changer…it’s all I’ve thought about since the final scoop hit my mouth last night. It took me on the ride of my life, I went through all the emotions with each layer, elation, joy, heartbreak and longing. I have just had a baby boy not but 6 weeks ago and did not think I would ever know love like that ever again, never mind in such a short period of time… 5 stars, I will return for you toffee sundae my sweet love…

What a wonderful restaurant. A lovely family lunch. Situated right next to Loch Lomond with great views. The menu was excellent and a big choice. Such a happy atmosphere. Definitely go again when next in Scotland.

Don’t book a group meal at this disgraceful hotel. Originally booked a table for a large booking for my birthday celebration on 27 Nov. However I had to cancel due to extenuating circumstances.It was for two different reasons I had to cancel and I felt really sad about not being able to celebrate my birthday.Firstly, my mother has become very ill and I had to be around her most of the time. Secondly there were two lots of 6 then 5 people in the group who have to quarantine due to Covid.I asked for a refund of the £280 deposit and if they couldn’t manage that then could I have a voucher for a future reservation. They refused to give the refund or the voucher. I sent a second email which was really polite they still refused. The restaurant staff told me while I was making the booking that the restaurant was filling up quickly. This means they scammed money from me as well as from the people who replaced my booking.I probably would have fought it better at the time but having my mother on bed rest and semi conscious at times I just couldn’t do that.On reflection this whole situation was harshly dealt with and just left me feeling quite sick really. I felt scammed. Please avoid.

Wow! Nestled onto the shore of loch lomond, the views over lunch were beautiful! The interior decor was such a stunning vibe and the food matched that perfectly. The staff were all so friendly and attentive. I would 100% recommend taking a trip here to enjoy!!

Visited for Christmas lunch with my work colleagues and couldn't believe what a difference the renovation has made to the hotel. It also felt very magical walking in with all the Christmas displays at the entrance and throughout, will take my daughter back to visit. Food was amazing, every course ate at the table was complimented. We received very attentive service right up until after our main courses where there was some length of time before anyone arrived back to see if we wanted dessert/more drinks. I also had to chase to pay the bill despite it being quieter and a lot of staff were still dotted about the place that could have assisted. However, the overall great experience outweighed this very minor issue, will definitely return soon with family.
