Glenfruin Lodge is very comfortable and well equipped. Everything worked, though with a few quirks, not unexpected in an old building (nothing that was a problem). Excellent location for hillwalking. Loved the afternoon sun trap garden. Alison came across soon after I arrived and was friendly and chatty. Will happily stay again.
Thanks folks. All went well and I got four days on the hill (only wet occasionally đ). Will hopefully be back next year. Cheers.
