We have had a lovely week despite our very teethy 18 month old!

So much to see and do in the area.  Perfect location here at Glenfruin Lodge.

Highlights (child friendly obviously!) have been Luss, Balmaha (amazingly peaceful beach to ourselves!) and lovely lunch at Balloch House Hotel (pie day) followed by great playground!

Lovely cottage – well furnished with all we needed for a week of quiet evenings in and comfy sofas!

Thanks for a great stay!
