13th – 18th May 2013

We have had a lovely week here at Glenfruin Lodge.  The Lodge is well furnished and cosy and the whirlpool bath and giant bed were a welcoming relief after a days climbing or cycling.

The Lodge is in a great location for exploring (we visited Stirling, Ben Lomond, Luss and Balloch) but remote enough to feel like you could be in the middle of nowhere…

A lovely relaxing week and would love to come back.
