Comments from our Guestbook

What a great week we have had.  Saturday, Sunday and Monday were gloriously sunny and warm.  Tuesday – Thursday were dry enough to let us continue to explore.  We recommend a trip all the way down to the West Kyle of Bute including Tigh na Bruaich and Portavadie.  Go right down to Ardlamont Bay to get magnificent views of Arran.It rained all day Friday, but we had enjoyed all the best days.

Thank you Alison & Craig for all the good things Glen Fruin Lodge provides.

At last we can travel! 3 nights here on route to northern highlands. Crosskeys Cottage is a very well appointed cosy cottage, well placed to visit the area – Balloch and Luss lovely.

Covid is still casting its shadow, but the friendliness and welcome here has been fab.

We hope that life will get back to normal, and once again we can enjoy a life without ‘2metres’ and masks.

Stay safe, and enjoy this wonderful cottage.

Very enjoyable week – the cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) was just right for our requirements and in such a peaceful and attractive area.  Very comfortable and cared for.

Plenty to see and do – Hill House should not be missed and Glenarn Gardens is unexpectedly impressive.  A short drive south and Geilston Garden and Balloch Country Park provide very enjoyable walks.  A drive around Loch Lomond presents several good walks and tea stops as does a tour around the peninsula (great wool shop!).  A challenge of a climb at Dumbarton Castle gives great rewards.

We found train travel to Glasgow easy and efficient and really enjoyed visits to museums eg. Kelvingrove, Transport and Life and the Tall Ship, also the Lighthouse.

Local bicycle paths are great for safe pedalling and walking – we know the other end of the John Muir trail quite well, plus his reputation and life in USA.

Thank you once again.

Best wishes, Michael & Joan Whatling

The cottage was the best Airbnb property that I have stayed in. The quality of the rooms, fixtures and fittings was exemplary. The owner Craig was knowledgable and very friendly. I will definitely use this cottage again. Location is great for Loch Lomond, Helensburgh and onwards to the Highlands. Great stay

Glenfruin Lodge

What a great time we’ve had! There has been great walks and views.

We recommend the Cattle & Creel in Helensburgh for great Steak, Mussels and Oysters.  Sadly Duck Bay is not what it was – the food was poor and I’d avoid it.

A big thanks Alison & Craig, we have had an amazing time in this beautiful cottage.  My wife and I did not want to leave!  This is my wife’s first time in Scotland and it has stolen her heart.  We will take Craig’s advice and book for the end of May next year.

If you love wildlife and breath taking scenery this is the place!

See you next year, Tony & Vanessa
