 Luss, Loch Lomond
Luss is an attractive conservation village which lies on the western shore of Loch Lomond, which is the largest freshwater loch in Scotland.
Luss does not need to rely on this connection, however, as it is well known and liked for its beautifully kept conservation village status, and the marvelous views over Loch Lomond.
The village used to lie on the main A82 trunk rood, but the recent major improvements between Dumbarton and Tarbet have resulted in Luss being even more appealing as the through traffic is kept away.

 Colquhoun Arms (Luss, UK) - Hotel Reviews - TripAdvisor
Luss seems to have a lack of places to stay and it appears the owners rely on this to get customers as the appearance and facilities available in the hotel are mediocre and dated.
I was a guest at Colquhoun Arms for 8 days and 7 nights and with the hotel located at the edge of the village of Luss and only a 3 minute walk to Loch Lomond I must say it was very charming.
This hotel enjoys a prime location outside the pretty village of Luss, but that's about the best that can be said for it.
