Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenfuin Lodge. The lodge is very well equipped, perfect location and a warm and friendly welcome from Alison & Craig made for a perfect stay.
Enjoyed some great walks – Ben A’an, Ardmore Peninsula, Conic Hill and Stronachlachar and Loch Arklet. Had a day trip to Glasgow, visited The Tenement and Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery. Here in Helensburgh we spent a morning at Hill House (a National Trust property) designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh – really enjoyed seeing the design and architecture of this period. Took a road trip up Loch Lomond – fantastic. Would recommend La Barca in Helensburgh – really tasty Spanish Tapas. A great holiday, further enhanced by fantastic weather.

Well worth it for the views of Loch Lomond as you […]
