What a lovely, relaxing 2 weeks holiday we’ve had in this wonderful Lodge. The wet weather meant we found

Intu Braehead, Loch Lomond Shores & Glasgow for shopping centres ! When the weather improved we visited the stunning

Geilston Gardens & had lovely walks in Drymen and Ardarden Estate.

Fruin Farm is amazing & only across the road, delicious breakfast and dinners. Lovely meals at Cardross Inn and in Helensburgh – Le Barca, The Wee Kelpie and The Wetherspoon Henry Bell.

Such a lovely time away for our annual trip to Scotland
