Very comfortable stay in the beautiful stone Crosskeys Cottage.
Hill House in Helensburgh was amazing & nice cafe. Went to Tarbet where you can pick up Loch Lomond cruises – but we hadn’t booked tickets beforehand…
Saw the Falls of Falloch (worth a visit) and stopped at a ‘haunted’ pub – The Drovers Inn – good food and beer (haggis, neeps & tatties). Visited Carrick Castle just past Lochgoilhead (a ruin) but what a peaceful spot with some lovely walks – Cormonachan Community Woodlands was a good walk.
Aberfoyle – nice river walk leads to ‘Rabbit Hill Nature Trail’ followed by lunch at ‘The Fairie Tree’ pub – lovely Cullen Skink soup! Then on to Loch Katrine where you can go on the steamship – but beware of the 3.15pm sailing as it only goes one way, as we discovered to our disappointment!
Inverary Castle is fantasic and the jail is worth a visit. Lots of places to eat & drink. We enjoyed great beer and food at The George.
Do go and see the wonderful 10 acre garden at Glenarn in Rhu – its very impressive and only £6 each!
Thank you to Alison & Craig for providing such a great place to stay and the dogs loved the garden!
