Beautiful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge). One of the nicest I’ve stayed in and far bigger than photos, they do not do it justice!
Really enjoyed the whirlpool bath – it is all about the bathroom!
Walked every day despite the weather… four seasons in one day – rain, snow, sun, wind!
The storm took out our electricity for 24 hours, but Alison & Craig provided candles, cooking stove and the wonderful fire that kept us going.
Walked on Conic Hill (wow views!)
Lochgoilhead (beautiful setting), Ben Aan, Callander Crags, Balloch, Luss, Arrochar Alps and only scratched the surface!
If you like curries the Masala Twist in Helensburgh does a fantastic hot and peppery venison curry. The Inverbeg Inn has free entertainment Friday nights but beware the ‘large’ cod & chips – HUGE!! but yummy…
We will be back,
Wlady & Andy, Bournemouth
