What a great little Cottage ! (Glenfruin Lodge) We really enjoyed our stay. Spent most of our time exploring the area and visiting wedding venues. Had a very tasty meal at Cucina in Balloch one evening – thanks for the recommendation.
Highlight was seeing the Red Squirrels in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which had eluded us on our last trip this way.
Thanks for a lovely stay hope to be back soon.
