Comments from our Guestbook

Warm, cosy, comfortable and quiet Glenfruin Lodge is in a good central location.  We enjoyed cycling the West Loch Lomond Cycle Path, treating ourselves to a coffee stop at ‘The Carrick’.  Our best day was cycling around the beautiful Loch Katrine.  We had a lovely sunny day, coffee was good at the cafe (we took our own bikes, but they can be hired at the loch).

This is our first trip to Scotland to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.  We have had a lovely time and hope to return soon.

Many thanks Craig & Ally

Lovely cosy cottage.perfect place to visit Argyll.

We would recommend Clyde St Cafe for an amazing full breakfast in Helensburgh, so good we went twice !!

A visit to Doune Castle is a must especially if you are a Monty Python fan.

Thank you Alison & Craig for the warm welcome. finding a christmas card and presents under the tree was a treat.

We have had a wonderful stay.  Weather fantastic!

Lodge is gorgeous – bathroom is to die for.  Did not need to ask for anything.  Home from home.

We will be back.

Thank you again for a great stay (Crosskeys Cottage).  But this time it was Tiger’s first holiday away and he loved it, very sore feet….

We booked ‘Glenfruin Lodge’ to escape our hectic lives and relax – this cottage was perfect for us!  Loved coming back here each evening and getting the log fire burning, very relaxing indeed.

We found this location perfect for visiting this area – we headed up to Oban, Inverary and various places along the way to Stirling.  Did a few walks around Loch Lomond.  A drive up the A817 (Loch Lomond – Helensburgh) is a must – most definately the best scenery!  We spent an afternoon Geocaching nearby through ‘Balmaha Muir’ forest – again a lovely view at the top.  If anyone fancies fish and chip supper, then we recommend ‘The wee kelpie’ in Helensburgh!

Overall, a beautiful cottage (great attention to detail, especially the shower!), thank you for making us so welcome – we’ll be sure to come back!

Another fantastic week here, couldn’t ask for anything better.
Had a trip to Oban for the best fish and chips from a place on George street recommended by Rick Stein.
Went through to Edinburgh and visited the Botanic Gardens. As usual enjoyed some Highland Games.
Found a lovely cafe called 1830 Eatery in Gourock newly opened and excellent with home made cake.

Will be back next year

Owners very accommodating and welcoming.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay !

Great place, Alison and Craig are both great hosts. Place is cosy, warm and peaceful. Really nice location and a a great base to travel out to other areas in Scotland.

16th – 23rd October 2021

We have had a lovely time and wish we could have stayed longer. Despite not having the best weather
we really enjoyed our boat trip on Loch Lomond. The Falkirk Wheel was well worth a slightly longer drive
and good fun.
The Lodge has been perfect for us with everything we could possibly need and a delight to stay in.

Many thanks
