Fantastic spot!
What a great location. Next to the river with views south to the Campsie fells. Lovely garden for the dogs while we relaxed on the deck in the evening sun and soaked up the view.

UCI BMX competitions
Seven of us stayed for two weeks. My three grandsons were competing in the BMX Worlds in Glasgow. We arrived late at night after a long flight from Canada and delayed luggage. Ian had a pot of chilli and homemade scones waiting for us! He was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. We were very comfortable in the cottage and we enjoyed being in the country. People in Balfron were welcoming as well.

Family reunion
Ian was welcoming, and the property was as stated. Nightly fires rounded off our days. Ian’s suggestion of Coffee at the rugby and bowling club was fantastic, as we were entertained by a local bowling league encounter.

Fantastic Holiday Destination
Great place to stay. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. The accommodation was excellent with a spacious living area, well furnished kitchen. All the bedrooms were spacious, clean and modern. All the facilities were top notch and above all the location and views were absolutely stunning.

Brilliant home n hot tub no matter the weather
My daughters and I had a magical visit to celebrate my birthday. We arrive and enjoyed the hot tub in the rain, woke to a gorgeous day drove 20 minutes to Balmaha and did some hiking and again enjoyed the hot tub. The next day was completely cloudless and we hiked Ben Lomond and we all were aided in our recovery by a long soak in the hot tub. The home is spacious, beautiful and clean with the best part being the bottle of wine and home made scones Ian share for our arrival!! There's a playground for little kids, a trampoline for all and beauty all around. Sure to be a hit with everyone!!

Beautiful Cottage, beautiful surroundings
We spent 3 nights in this wonderful cottage. The property is exactly as listed on vrbo. Ian, the host, was very helpful and the home-baked scones were a very nice welcome surprise. The cottage is surrounded by pastures with lots of sheep and cows, and the views from the living room, hot tub and master bedroom are wonderful. Vey convenient for exploring the Loch Lomond area.
