We’ve had a lovely few days at Glenfruin Lodge and we have been lucky with the weather considering the time of year.
We had a beautiful walk around the banks of Loch Katrine and a village walk around Luss which was very pretty. We drove through dramatic views to Inverary and stopped at Loch Fyne for a delicious lunch of oysters, mussels and smoked salmon. It has been wonderful to return to the comfortable and cosy lodge each evening.
Thank you for a lovely break, hopefully we’ll be back soon.
