Where should you stay in Alexandria?
Stay at the Loch Lomond Hotel if you want a big modern hotel by Balloch station: its own site says it is central, has plentiful free parking and takes dogs in standard rooms. It can sleep up to 70 for group bookings. Its address is Balloch Road, Balloch, Alexandria G83 8SS.
Choose the Queen of the Loch for an inn with a carvery restaurant: Marston's lists 27 rooms, free parking and accessible rooms. Choose Cameron House for a resort on the shore with a spa, lodges and two golf courses, and expect to pay a per-dog fee. Choose Lomond Woods Holiday Park for lodges, glamping pods and touring pitches on the edge of the National Park.
Alexandria itself is a Vale of Leven town named after Alexander Smollett, and it has its own railway station on the North Clyde line, with Balloch the next stop. Most of the places visitors book are a few minutes' drive or bus ride away, at Balloch and the south end of the loch.
