We have loved staying here at Glenfruin Lodge, its our first time in Scotland and it really is the perfect location to explore Loch Lomond and the surrounding areas.

We highly recommend visiting Luss and eating at the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel, the wood pigeon is so tasty.

We also enjoyed visiting Balloch and Helensburgh !! La Barca and Masala Twist, both really tasty !

Hope to make Scotland a holiday again soon, so much to explore and just not enough time !
