We have had a really fantastic time here. Glenfruin Cottage is great and has been a lovely cosy, comfortable place to come back to at the end of a busy day out!
We have been very lucky with amazing weather and we brought our kayaks with us, so spent much of our time around the shores of Loch Lomond (and on it of course!).
A particular favourite spot we discovered was Balmaha – really beautiful setting and a lovely pub for a drink/dinner at the end, as well as an ice-cream parlour. We paddled accross to Inchcailloch Island – a nature reserve (which you can also catch a ferry to) and that was beautiful.
We also visited Hill House – built and designed by Rennie MacIntosh in Helensburgh on our ‘rest day’! Which was really interesting and a lovely cafe and shop.
We have loved our morning walks up the lane by the house a perfect way to start the day and take in the beautiful scenery!
Thank you for having us, we have loved it!
