Fitness instructor in Alexandria

Situated on the shores of Loch Lomond, Scotland's breathtaking jewel, Cameron House is a magnificent 5-star resort. Uniquely positioned where the Scottish Highlands meet the Lowlands, this 17th-century baronial estate is rich in character and history. Cameron House offers an award-winning Spa with a rooftop infinity pool, an 18-hole championship golf course, an extensive selection of resort activities, and a choice of five restaurants and bars to cater to every taste.

Our Leisure Club, based in the Main House, is a popular family-friendly club with a host of many-loved features: a family beach pool with water features for kids, an adult pool for serious swimming, a flume slide, a bubble pool, a steam room and sauna. A brand-new gym at the back of the club features new Technogym equipment throughout and is supported with two purpose-built spin and exercise studios.
