The Dog House in Balloch is ideally situated as a relaxing venue to visit after spending the day at the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

There's lots to do on the loch in the heart of Balloch - enjoy some retail therapy at the Loch Lomond Shores. There you can enjoy a stroll around the outlet shops, take a boat trip up Loch Lomond, climb to the top of Drumkinnon Tower or hire bicycles or kayaks. Drumkinnon Tower plays host to the Loch Lomond Aquarium, the first new Sea Life Centre to be built in the UK for over 10 years.

The Loch Lomond Folk Festival is held annually in July in the town of Balloch. With bands performing over one whole weekend the festival now attracts visitors from all over the world. The Dog House is one of the many venues where the folk music bands play.

Standing on the shores of Loch Lomond you can view Ben Lomond, one Scotland's Munros. Walking and climbing are popular in the area. Ben Vorlich, Ben Lomond & Ben Ime are just some of the 21 Munros to climb. Or wander through the tracks of the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park or Balloch Country Park to Balloch Castle.
