Finding Glenfruin Lodge was easy and on entering it we were delighted with the high standard that met us!

The bath is to die for and every evening soaking in a bubbling spa bath was bliss.

We have been lucky with the weather and had some great days out.  Our visit to Loch Ness was well worth the long journey and the views through Glencoe and Ben Nevis spectacular!  Our cruise on the loch was lovely, but unfortunately no sightings of Nessie!

Stirling Castle is well worth a visit and I personally think it’s better than Edinburgh Castle!

A cruise on Loch Lomond is lovely & take a walk through Balloch Castle Country park – the views are amazing.

As you can tell we loved it here and would definitely return.

Have had a most enjoyable holiday here at Glen Fruin.  Weather has been absolutely perfect for touring around viewing the beautiful scenery around Loch Lomond and the surrounding countryside then returning in the evening to this comfortable cottage.

Thank you both for everything.

Lovely Lodge.  Relaxed immediately.  Felt right at home.  Enjoyed driving through Glen Fruin – seemed caught in a time warp of bygone age.

Thank you for creating such a cosy, welcoming environment.

Hope to come again.

We have had a splendid week, covered lots of miles of wonderful scenery as well as catching up on some relaxation.

Glenfruin Lodge is delightful.  Well appointed & perfectly equipped – we couldn’t have asked for more.

We even saw the eagles!

Thank you.

Everything we needed here, so many thanks.  Great location for getting around – we loved the Loch Katrine area.

Had a very good meal in the Lomond Arms in Luss.  If you have a dog with you, the place to go is the Balloch Castle Country park – lovely walks.  A new Waitrose store and cheap petrol station in Helensburgh on the far east edge of town next to the new Academy.

Thank you, we have had a great week.  We particularly enjoyed climbing ‘The Cobbler’ and cycling the many beautiful forest trails.

Lovely Lodge, extremely comfortable.  Good food and beer in the Loch Lomond Inn, Luss.

Thank you for an enjoyable stay at Glenfruin Lodge.  The fine weather for most of the week was a bonus!

We visited so many places, memorable ones were:-

Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

The 3 Lochs Forest Trail

Inchcailoch Island (ferry from Luss)

Inveraray Castle, from where we climbed Dun ar Cuiache

Balloch Country Park

Duncryne Hill (“the dumpling”), fantastic views over Loch Lomond

Dumbarton Castle

The Falls of Falloch

We recommend Balloch House Hotel for a  sandwich lunch and Waitrose in Helensburgh for shopping.

The Lodge was a relaxing place to return each day to, and the superking size bed so comfortable…

We have had a wonderful week staying in this delightful cottage.  There are so many places to visit around the area.

We will certainly be returning to complete unfinished business!

Thank you to you both.

Thank you for an enjoyable and comfortable stay in your spacious lodge.  We have had a relaxing week out and about meeting up with relatives living nearby in Helensburgh.

We both enjoy visiting gardens and particularly liked the immaculate one at Inverary Castle and garden.

Weather generally dry, with the odd heavy downpour but hasn’t stopped us enjoying our week.
