Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The property was cosy and welcoming and very well equipped. There was an outside area which we didn't use because of the weather but would have been lovely on a sunny day. There was off road parking just outside the property. The host was on hand to show us around and explain the facilities. She suggested places to visit and where to eat which was really helpful. It was an easy walk into town to restaurants and the boat trips. There was also a lovely park nearby with great views of Loch Lomond which we enjoyed exploring. The area was relatively quiet, the property was situated just off the main road into Balloch, but once in the house you couldn't hear the traffic. The position of the house was great for exploring the local area, including Luss and Balmaha.
Summary: A cosy cottage in a great location for exploring Loch Lomond

Both bedrooms are a good size, comfy with en suite. The living room and kitchen have everything you need to make it a home from home and the host is lovely and welcoming.
Negative: Everything was great.
Summary: Cosy traditional cottage
