The accommodation in the Lodge is light and spacious – also well equipped. Unfortunately we did not have particularly good weather for our weeks break. We would certainly recommend this as a place to stay especially in view of inclement weather.
Everything we needed was easily acquired from Helensburgh. We visited local sites – Loch Lomond, Loch Fyne, Loch Katrine and surrounding villages.
Would love to come again – but hopefully with better weather – views would be enhanced considerably.
Many thanks,
Pete & Sue, Oldham

The World’s first and only rotating boat lift. Completed in 2002 the huge Falkirk wheel re-connects the Fourth & Clyde and Union canals after the 11 original lock gates were dismantled in the 1930’s. Also an opportunity to visit the famous Kelpieshttps://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/falkirk-wheel/
The preserved buildings from the 1700s give an authentic insight into how people lived and worked in the north and west of Scotland. You can wander freely around the houses and farm buildings furnished with everyday objects from time gone by.
