We’ve had a lovely week – thank you.
Lovely, comfortable and cosy cottage (Glenfruin Lodge). The bed is enormous and very sleep inducing. The weather has been very kind to us and we’ve both picked up some sun on our last day.
Recommend a visit to Balloch Castle Country Park – take a picnic if the weather’s good. The views of Loch Lomond are lovely. Glasgow by train from Helensburgh is good value £6.70 return & free parking too. The Hill House is worth a visit also. The Oak Inn in Balmaha does good food & beer.
