I've been to Duck Bay a good number of times. Lovely place to spend a summer evening, sitting outside and looking over the the Loch. The restaurant itself is lovely and has been modernised over the last few years, always a very welcoming feel to it. Staff always very helpful. The food middle range in terms of price. Good choice...

The location of the restaurant and the view are stunning. I think it would be a wonderful place to sit out during summer months. The menu is diverse. Perhaps to diverse as the dishes were dissapointing. Chicken burger was dry. The prawns tasted like they had come out of the freezer. The kitchen needs some work to live up to... More

We can recommend the hotel. Our room was large and clean. We received a very warm welcome. Breakfast was fine with stunning views over the Loch. The restaurant seems to be very popular but not at all to our taste. A very large menu meaning a large amount of per-preparation must take place. My mashed potato was foul. Good service... More

We always make a point of visiting here for lunch on my birthday. We have been on many occasions also whilst travelling further up Loch Lomond to Tyndrum and beyond. There is a good choice on the menu and is a little more than average on prices, but hey! what a view of Loch Lomond you get while being served... More

Popped in for late lunch on way back from Fort William and wasn't disappointed. Food was delicious again. Fish is always excellent and always a healthy portion size , none of this tiny portion malarkey. Quite an extensive menu from snack size items including baked potatoes , sandwiches to full main course items. The ice-cream Sundays are excellent ! The... More

We enjoyed the restaurant although visiting it on a whim. It is medium priced. The food was hot, plentiful and tasty. Menu was large and varied, and the beer was cold! Restaurant was full, but service was good, a wee bit slow, but understandable. The views from the restaurant are outstanding. This is a nice place to take someone special... More

It had been years since we visited Duck Bay. We were pleasantly surprised by the interior changes and the extensive menu. Whether the carvery or the al a carte the food was beautiful, well presented and good value for money. The service was good and with a smile too. Well worth a visit.

By virtue of the fact that we have returned to eat here again really says it all, very extensive menu covering a variety of tastes and frankly quite an ambitious menu.

Visited here as an extended celebration of our engagement for an evening meal. Staff were excellent and went out of there way to make us feel comfortable, and even congratulated us after hearing us talking. The food was nothing short of amazing, and the portions were huge. We didn't even manage pudding! Our steaks were cooked to perfection, with the... More

My husband and I decided to take a trip here for lunch after being away on holiday in the highlands and this was on route back. We just wanted something quick and light to eat.
