Comments from our Guestbook

Excellent little cottage in a fantastic location, less than 10 minutes drive to local shops or Loch Lomond. It is an excellent base to travel all around the area. Glencoe is just over an hours drive, and lots of fantastic scenery much closer. The cottage was immaculate and very cosy. It had a well equipped kitchen, lovely lounge area and bedroom and a lovely bathroom with large bath and bath jets. The place was very clean and tidy, the hosts are great with very helpful instructions and respond in great time, and very easy access. There was also some nice little treats on arrival (Tunnocks Caramels and Tea cakes), and fresh milk in the fridge with tea and coffee supplied. Highly recommended and a fantastic stay.

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.

Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenfuin Lodge.  The lodge is very well equipped, perfect location and a warm and friendly welcome from Alison & Craig made for a perfect stay.

Enjoyed some great walks – Ben A’an, Ardmore Peninsula, Conic Hill and Stronachlachar and Loch Arklet.  Had a day trip to Glasgow, visited The Tenement and Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery.  Here in Helensburgh we spent a morning at Hill House (a National Trust property) designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh – really enjoyed seeing the design and architecture of this period.  Took a road trip up Loch Lomond – fantastic.  Would recommend La Barca in Helensburgh – really tasty Spanish Tapas.  A great holiday, further enhanced by fantastic weather.

Fantastic little place, great location for the loch and surrounding areas. Peaceful and warm and toasty! Would recommend to anyone visiting the area that needs a private peaceful place to stay near Loch Lomond. I hope to visit again! Craig was very helpful and friendly. He organised the firewood for us and gave us the privacy we wanted for our family! Thank you Craig, you’re a star! Highly recommended, lovely lovely place

How lucky we were to have chosen Glenfruin Lodge!  It was our first visit to Scotland but certainly not the last.

Enjoyed very much walking right behind the house in the direction of Garelochead – although we took a turn to the left and ended up at the Marina in Rhu (nice little Café!).  The Glen Loin Loop starting at Arrochar was great, the view from Benn Dubh (from Luss) worth all the tears I cried while climbing up it.. and Loch Katrine’s shore way for a bicycle ride was fantastic.

Thanks to Alison & Craig for this lovely cottage.  We’ll certainly be back one day.
