Finding Glenfruin Lodge was easy and on entering it we were delighted with the high standard that met us!

The bath is to die for and every evening soaking in a bubbling spa bath was bliss.

We have been lucky with the weather and had some great days out.  Our visit to Loch Ness was well worth the long journey and the views through Glencoe and Ben Nevis spectacular!  Our cruise on the loch was lovely, but unfortunately no sightings of Nessie!

Stirling Castle is well worth a visit and I personally think it’s better than Edinburgh Castle!

A cruise on Loch Lomond is lovely & take a walk through Balloch Castle Country park – the views are amazing.

As you can tell we loved it here and would definitely return.
