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
