22nd – 29th August 2015

We loved our time here.  The Lodge is a perfect spot, fully equipped for every need.  Weather was kind so did some great walks and bike riding, spoilt for choice.  Loved Ben Lomond, and Luss village is a great spot.

Had some great meals out, but if you want cheap & cheerful, Henry Bell (Weatherspoons) in Helensburgh is great – love the curry night on Thursdays.

Thank you and yes we will recommend!
