We’ve had a lovely week at Glenfruin Lodge. The Lodge is beautiful and very well equipped. The fire and whirlpool bath were both lovely added bonuses!
We visited Balloch and took a boat tour around the loch. Luss is worth a visit as it is a beautiful place and there are some lovely walks.
Inverary is a lovely place for a day trip – the scenery on the way is breathtaking. The castle and jail in the town are also worth the money.
Thank you for a lovely week, we will be back!
