The Lodge on Loch Goil Receives 5 Stars from acclaimed AA Guide

Lochgoilhead, Argyll & Bute: The new Restaurant with Rooms at The Lodge on Loch Goil has achieved outstanding grades and awards following its review by the acclaimed AA Guide.

Achieving a 5 Star Restaurant with Rooms award and 2 AA rosettes for culinary excellence in less than a month since opening surpassed all expectations. The addition of an AA Breakfast Award was an unforeseen addition to an overwhelmingly successful review.

Having seen his new venture described by the AA as “the perfect destination dining venue and idyllic loch side location”, Managing Director of The Lodge on Loch Goil Iain Hopkins was understandably surprised and delighted, saying, “Our hugely talented kitchen team, including head chef Daniel Holleren, have worked tirelessly over the last few months, so to achieve these results so quickly is a testament to their talent and commitment”.

Iain also added, “We could not have done this without the support of our suppliers, providers and guests, so I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for their support and belief which will help us to keep striving to improve in the future.”

Having only opened the Restaurant on the 5 April this year, The Lodge on Loch Goil is determined to use these awards as a stepping stone to bigger and better things, including:

• Weekend lunches at The Lodge, starting in May.

• Return boat trips from Glasgow to The Lodge for lunch

• Fine Dining Weddings

• Sponsorship of local woodlands popular for wild food foraging

• Masterclasses with Scottish Photographer David Eustace
