30th December – 5th January 2024

We have been on the hunt for our perfect Loch Lomond hidey hole since we outgrew our last one after our daughter was born : -and I think we have found it.

Our stay in the Lodge has been incredible, cosey, idylic and family friendly!
I’d recommend the John Muir Way walk from Crosskeys to Balloch, simply stunning and no rambling !!

We cant wait to head back up and hopefully we get the chance to build more snowmen !

Grateful for our wonderful & generous hosts – Craig & Alison , the Tunnocks were lovely !
