As soon as we entered the Lodge we felt at home.
This place was immaculate, smelt very fresh and homely. The hosts are lovely, there if you need anything,
which we didn’t as they had thought of everything !!
We went on a 2 hour boat trip on Loch Lomond, very informative, went to Edinburgh by train.
Helensburgh, Balloch, Luss and Inveraray (Jail worth a visit).

Thank you for a relaxing week !!
