Spent a very comfortable few days here at Glenfruin Lodge – an ideal and convenient base to explore this area.
Highlights of the trip were the walks up Conic Hill and Ben A’an – the hard work rewarded by amazing views.
We found that nearby Helensburgh was able to provide everything we needed as well as being a pleasant place to stroll around.
