30th July – 6th August 2022

August 6, 2022 by Alison in

We have had such a wonderful time here in Loch Lomond , Helensburgh and travelling around to see as much as we could.
The Cottage is such a beautiful place to relax in after days out – The Spa bath is so lovely, had quite a few during our stay.
Hosts are wonderful and friendly, nothing is to much trouble for them, they even made us drinks when the power went of on the day of our departure. Thank you so much for everything, Craig & Alison we really do appreciate it.
Hopefully see you again soon.
