The Lochgoilhead Centre
The Lochgoilhead Centre has been in existence for over 40 years and has grown from a few huts in the grounds of Inverlounin House, further down the loch, to a 150 bed, fully catered, multi-activity centre on its current site at Shelter Park.
The centre is open throughout the year and is very popular with scout groups from throughout the UK and beyond, but has expanded its user group portfolio and it is now also extremely popular with schools, other youth organisations and special needs groups. It runs a wide and varied programme of both land and water based activities and offers training for many nationally recognised outdoor certificates up to instructor level.

Ben Donich - Lochgoilhead / Rest and be thankful
Ben Donich overlooks Lochgoilhead, the rest and be thankful and Arrochar. From the summit you can see Greenock, Port Glasgow, Ailsa Craig, Gourock, Loch Lomond, Jura, Arran and Inveraray. A fairly easy hill, just shy of a Munro. Some impressive crevasse and rock formations just before the summit.
Definately one of the best vantage points in the Arrochar Alps range. The outback of the Cowal Peninsula is worth a drive through.

September & Hogmany Breaks Lochgoilhead
I’ve taken £100 off remaining mid-week breaks in September – Mon-Fri only available. The prices you will see in the booking system show the reduction – hurry!
Although Xmas is sold, Hogmanay is still available. A one week houseparty for 9 (plus infants and dogs), arriving 28th December for 7 nights. I can tell you Inverlounin is a great place to celebrate the New Year. The tradition is to fling open your windows at midnight – do this here and you'll here the waterfalls and the waves lapping the shore. You can even extend your stay by 2 nights for just £400.
Please contact Inverlounin via our official website to book your stay.
