Had a great stay with very mixed weather. Had everything we needed in the Lodge, could not have asked for more.
Recommend eating out at The Riverhill Courtyard in Helensburgh. We enjoyed many walks including Conic Hill, also liked The Hill House and Inveraray Castle. Luss is a beautiful village busy by day but we had the beach and the jetty to ourselves in the evening. Callandar and the Crag walk including a visit to the falls was also memorable.

Thank you
