We booked ‘Glenfruin Lodge’ to escape our hectic lives and relax – this cottage was perfect for us! Loved coming back here each evening and getting the log fire burning, very relaxing indeed.
We found this location perfect for visiting this area – we headed up to Oban, Inverary and various places along the way to Stirling. Did a few walks around Loch Lomond. A drive up the A817 (Loch Lomond – Helensburgh) is a must – most definately the best scenery! We spent an afternoon Geocaching nearby through ‘Balmaha Muir’ forest – again a lovely view at the top. If anyone fancies fish and chip supper, then we recommend ‘The wee kelpie’ in Helensburgh!
Overall, a beautiful cottage (great attention to detail, especially the shower!), thank you for making us so welcome – we’ll be sure to come back!

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a revolutionary architect and designer and The Hill House is considered to be his domestic masterpiece. Mackintosh and his wife Margaret created almost everything, from the building itself to the furniture and textiles. More examples of his work can be seen in Glasgow.https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-hill-house
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.
