About Gowanlea Guest House

A cooked-to-order breakfast with a proper porridge on the menu is the sort of detail that sets Gowanlea Guest House apart from the average bed and breakfast. Found on Drymen Road in Balloch, this guest house makes a practical, comfortable base for exploring Loch Lomond, Balloch Castle Country Park and the SEA LIFE Loch Lomond Aquarium, all within easy reach.

Rooms are kept spotless and cosy, with comfortable bedding, en-suite bathrooms and free WiFi throughout, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. Guests can expect drinks in the room, packed lunches for days out, and a laundry service if needed, while 24 hour reception means arrivals are never a problem. Pets are welcome too.

The hosts are noted for being friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to help guests settle in. Outside, there is free on-site parking, and the surrounding area offers walking and cycling routes, watersports, and a good choice of pubs, restaurants and other eateries nearby for evenings out.

Me and my partner stayed at the guest house after a few days at Loch Lomond camping/ hiking. The stay was amazing, rooms are spotless and cosy with very comy bedding. Host is very friendly and accommodating. Highlight was the breakfast, with a wide range of delicious items cooked to order. I have never tasted porridge this delicious!

We had an excellent stay in Dec 2025. Landed in Glasgow airport at 11am with small children, all heavily jetlagged. Andrea allowed us to check in before 2pm. Slept all the way until 6am the next morning. Rooms are clean and cozy. Breakfast is the best I have ever had in a bed and breakfast. Highly recommend
