We stayed for three nights. We booked the luxury room, which had views straight on to the loch from both the sitting room and the bedroom. If this room is not available when you book, don't despair, as many if not all the rooms have views on to the loch. Six of the rooms are in a separate block, and could be described as en suite appartments rather than rooms, as each has its own front door and the main room has enough in the way of facilities to enable guests to make toast and tea and sit in comfortable chairs drinking in the view. (The luxury appartment has three rooms.) Milk is provided.
The owner, Patrick, has built up this exceptional place over 12 years, and has plans to make it even more special. The sea plane lands outside in season, and it is possible to fly in to Glasgow Airport and pick up the 'plane from the Clyde. What a way to arrive!
A tarmac path runs in both directions from the Guest House, and Patrick has bicycles for guests to use. For those wishing to climb Ben Lomond, Patrick can take you - or arrange to have you taken - across the water to Rowardennan to pick up the footpath. And you will be collected afterwards!
Patrick serves a breakfast to die for. A cooked breakfast with ingredients that taste how they are meant to, preceded by a bowl of porridge, will keep you going for several hours.
This is a truly special place. You can be sure of a relaxed, genuine concern that your stay should be just how you want it to be, even if you just want to be left alone. Even under the heavy showers of early March, the scenery was beautiful to behold. The experience of staying at Culag is one of the 100 things you really must do before you die.
