Sweet spot
Older cottage but very well-done reno (NOT diy-type if you know what I mean). Bedrooms are small but sufficient. Not a spec of dirt and trust me our little one would have found it if there was one! Handy to hiking, birds of prey center, really cool botanic garden, boat tour on Loch Lomond, and a really neat farm tour at Lennox of Lomond. Thank you David! Fantastic!

Fantastic place, well recommended
Perfect location overlooking Loch Long and just a couple of miles from Loch Lomond too. Homely, very clean and very well equipped, though too wet and windy unfortunately use the kayaks, outdoor pizza oven and bbq- !! We would certainly love to return. Plenty of walks nearby and just a few steps to the Village Inn for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners( good), other places to eat and village shop all within walking distance.

Fantastic property in a beautiful surrounding
Our family of four had an amazing stay at the property. The cottage is extremely well equipped- both inside and out and spotlessly clean. There were so many thoughtful touches to make our stay as comfortable as possible including fully equipped kitchen, roomy living spaces, comfortable beds and three bathrooms. The host had also provided lots of board games and TV streaming services to keep our family entertained. The outside space was really amazing- several barbeque areas, trampoline and a games room and kayaks that we took onto the Lock several times- access is directly outside the cottage. And the village itself has a pub restaurant literally yards away and a cafe for lunch. There are so many beautiful walks right on the doorstep and the view from the property of the Loch and mountains was spectacular. Communication with David the host was a pleasure. Would love to visit again.

Great Stay
This has to be one of the best deals in Scotland. The photos do not do the view justice, it is centrally located for short day trips to highlands/loch lomond/glasgow, and David is a fantastic host. Everything was clean, lots of snacks and information about the property/location were provided upon entry, and we were able to fit 5 adults very comfortably for a whole week!

A lovely break
Thank you for a lovely stay. The cottage was perfect with everything (and more) that we needed. Our 10 and 8 year old boys enjoyed the games room, our 3 year old loved the garden, and we enjoyed the peace of the local area. A great find.

Excellent stay in a beautiful setting
Very well equipped house in a beautiful setting and location, which is close to an excellent pub! Having access to the kayaks was great, we enjoyed getting out on the loch! There was plenty of space for 5 adults both inside and out. The only negative is that we wish we could have brought our dogs, as they would have loved it! The welcome package was a nice little touch too! Would highly recommend staying here; if we are ever in the area again would happily stay again and again!

Comfortable and well equipped house in a beautiful location
Comfortable and well equipped house in a beautiful location. Everything was provided as listed including a thoughtful welcome pack and some toiletries. Good outdoor space, especially for families (if only you could rely on the Scottish weather). Loved having use of the kayaks (be aware they are pretty heavy to manoeuvre). Fantastic location, especially for those who love the outdoors. Beautiful views of Loch Long and the Arrochar Alps. Short staggering distance to the Village Inn where you can get a decent bar meal and drinks. Fab walks on the doorstep and close to Loch Lommond for other activities too. The house was clean and comfortable for our family of two adults and two teens although I feel it would have been a little cosy for 6 adults. The log burner and TVs (included in all bedrooms) were enjoyed when the weather was not so good. Thanks for being a good and responsive host.
