Thank you for letting us come early due to the weather.  A very cosy, wonderful cottage.  A great place to self-cater.

A great place also for Henry, our dog who could run around the front lawn.

This is an excellent place to visit with so much to see and do.  Did lots of walking with magnificent views.

I would recommend this location to our friends and also Crosskeys to stay.

The Lodge is a perfect place to relax & unwind.  Ideal location for exploring other places.

Really enjoyed our week, the weather was fine and the Lodge itself was excellent.

Will be recommending it to friends and family and will definitely be returning next year.

Lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge), great base for exploring from Glasgow to Fort William!

Recommend ‘The Village Rest’ in Luss for good food near here.

Loch cruise from Balloch also worthwhile and good shops and walks around Loch Lomond Shores.

Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay.  Can highly recommend Inchcailloch Island as a visit for a forest walk.

We agree the cottage is a perfect base for exploring.  Excellent provision for visitors – and the dog! (in Crosskeys Cottage).

Had a great week.  Crosskeys cottage is well equipped, cosy and delightful.

It’s the perfect base for exploring this very scenic area.

Would love to return one day….

2nd – 9th August 2014

We have enjoyed a relaxing week here.  The Cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) is very cosy with everything we needed.

The weather was better than we expected during the week, lots of sunshine.

Sunday we travelled to Glasgow to watch the cycling road race and despite the rain we had a wonderful time soaking up the atmosphere of the Commonwealth Games.

It’s worthwhile taking the train from Helensburgh Central station to Glasgow.  The trains run regularly and the journey takes just 50 mins.

Inverary and the castle are well worth a visit.  We had a lovely day there exploring the castle and gardens.

If you plan to visit Hill House in Helensburgh it is open from 1.30pm until 5.30pm (we arrived there in the morning expecting it to be open!).

Lovely holiday and a nice cottage.  Would love to come back again.

Scenery is great.  So much to do, and weather really warm.

One of our best holidays….

Richard & Jill, Weston-super-mare

5th – 11th July 2014

Very enjoyable week – the cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) was just right for our requirements and in such a peaceful and attractive area.  Very comfortable and cared for.

Plenty to see and do – Hill House should not be missed and Glenarn Gardens is unexpectedly impressive.  A short drive south and Geilston Garden and Balloch Country Park provide very enjoyable walks.  A drive around Loch Lomond presents several good walks and tea stops as does a tour around the peninsula (great wool shop!).  A challenge of a climb at Dumbarton Castle gives great rewards.

We found train travel to Glasgow easy and efficient and really enjoyed visits to museums eg. Kelvingrove, Transport and Life and the Tall Ship, also the Lighthouse.

Local bicycle paths are great for safe pedalling and walking – we know the other end of the John Muir trail quite well, plus his reputation and life in USA.

Thank you once again.

Best wishes, Michael & Joan Whatling

28th June – 5th July

Had a lovely week, lovely walks, scenery is great.  Our dog (Flo) loved the swimming in the river.  Waitrose is a must for stocking up, Helensburgh is lovely to walk around and browse.

Perfect location to explore the area.
