26th October – 2nd November 2013

November 16, 2013 by in

We had a lovely time at this beautiful lodge.  We went to the sea life centre today – really enjoyed it!  We went walking almost every day – we went up Conic Hill, The Cobbler, Ben Lomond, Einn Narnan via Crasaon Naim Missaey (not of the unfit or feint hearted, certainly in November).

After our long wet walks we enjoyed coming home to the wonderful fire and the whirlpool bath.  We went to the Loch Lomond Hotel a lot for drinks which was really nice.

A wonderful location.  A big thank you to everyone for making us have a pleasant stay.

Many thanks,

the Gibson family, Sevenoaks, Kent
