19th – 16th September 2015

We have enjoyed a fantastic week! This was our first visit to this part of Scotland, and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

The cottage is very comfortable, clean, and enjoys a fantastic location.  We would thoroughly recommend exploring Luss, Firkin Point and Balloch Country Park.

If you feel like venturing a little further afield, then a walk through Glen Coe is an absolute must!

A perfect place to spend a week, and somewhere we would look forward to staying again.
