Another enjoyable stay at Glenfruin Lodge.  The weather could of been kinder but the views as always from the lochs make the visit worthwhile.

We spent a very pleasant stay in your comfortable cottage.

We enjoyed the Scottish sun and the beautiful landscapes around Loch Lomond, Loch Katrine and Eck …..

without forgetting the digestion of the local beers in the garden and the visit of the distillery of Oban

The Trossachs are a peaceful place where he can live well !

We arrived to a warm welcome and a nicely presented cottage (Lodge).  The Cottage came with everything we wanted and the whirlpool bath was a nice additional after a long cold walk!

The Sea Life Centre was good in Balloch.  A walk up to the Cobbler from Arrochar was excellent but the snow became quite deep at the very top, views were incredible.  Almost lost the Hire Car though as Loch Long flooded into the car park!

Tried to walk to Ben Vorlich next day but the path was hard to find from the dam at Loch Sloy.  However, the dam and the valley is impressive .

Loch Fyne is a good place to eat too, only place that seemed to serve a selection of seafood.

The sleeper train is a great way to travel too!

The cottage was beautiful. They surroundings were amazing and the host was excellent. Got extra wood for us to the fire and was there to help with anything we need I would highly recommend this cottage. It was Cosy comfortable with all the services we would want. Some nice touches was milk in the fridge and Tunnocks products on the side very thoughtful Nice to see dog bowls out for the dog as well.

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.

Dear Alison, Craig & Shadow…

Thank you for an amazing place to stay while we explored the beautiful west coast.

I am from Balloch but my partner is a London boy, so it was lovely to have the Lodge so close to everything yet peaceful & remote.

Can’t believe you can’t hear the road from the garden…  Shadow popped by a few times, especially when he realised we had ham in the fridge!

We will certainly be back.

The cottage is beautifully maintained and the bed is so comfortable we slept like babies.
