We have loved staying here at Glenfruin Lodge, its our first time in Scotland and it really is the perfect location to explore Loch Lomond and the surrounding areas.

We highly recommend visiting Luss and eating at the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel, the wood pigeon is so tasty.

We also enjoyed visiting Balloch and Helensburgh !! La Barca and Masala Twist, both really tasty !

Hope to make Scotland a holiday again soon, so much to explore and just not enough time !

Thank you for an enjoyable stay at Glenfruin Lodge.  The fine weather for most of the week was a bonus!

We visited so many places, memorable ones were:-

Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

The 3 Lochs Forest Trail

Inchcailoch Island (ferry from Luss)

Inveraray Castle, from where we climbed Dun ar Cuiache

Balloch Country Park

Duncryne Hill (“the dumpling”), fantastic views over Loch Lomond

Dumbarton Castle

The Falls of Falloch

We recommend Balloch House Hotel for a  sandwich lunch and Waitrose in Helensburgh for shopping.

The Lodge was a relaxing place to return each day to, and the superking size bed so comfortable…

We had wonderful relaxing break , although weather wasn’t great it didn’t dampen our stay Fantastic amenities and the you can see that Craig and Alison have an eye for detail right down to the finish of the decorating. The wood burner was my personal favourite. Overall it is an excellent location and a perfect base for further exploration of Scotland. We will definitely return again later in the year when plan our longer trip to discover the West Coast of Scotland Could not recommend it enough.

Dear Alison & Craig, it is the first time in Scotland and certainly not the last time.  We love it, it’s a beautiful country.

We enjoyed our stay in your cosy cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).  It was nice to come home after a day enjoying the surroundings.
