30th May – 3rd June 15

We only had a few days here but what a cosy cottage and so well placed for touring around the area.  Unfortunately the weather wasn’t really on our side but we had a lovely day on Sunday when we took a drive through Glen Fruin, up to Arrochar and then over to Loch Fyne and down Loch Eck.  A wonderful walk through Pucks Glen and a nice meal on the way home at the lovely Whistlefiled Inn – very reasonably priced too!

Thank you Craig and Alison for a lovely stay, just a shame it was too short.
