Summary: If you want to step off the treadmill and take time out for many ‘stand and stare’ moments Vorlick Cottage is the place for you. We had a very relaxing stay due mainly to its location - it’s fabulous. The view onto Loch Lomond, and its surrounding fells and Bens is captivating. Lucky with the weather (early April) we sat outside most evenings (wrapped up warm) in the Christmas tree wood in the garden watching the changing colours of the loch and fells as the light changed. With only the sound of wind in the trees, chinking glass, lambs and their mother’s bleating, birds’ chorus, and the odd thwack of balls on racquets, until the chill drove us back into the warmth and comfort of the cottage. There can’t be many tennis courts with a view like this! The cottage’s quality of decor, furnishings and beds are excellent, we slept very well. Claire our host, was very welcoming and we followed her suggestion for a peaceful walk through the private estate, joining Balloch country park by Loch Lomond and into the hustle and bustle of tourism. Only there for four nights on our way north we ventured out each day to the usual attractions, but we couldn’t wait to get back to Vorlick Cottage.

Summary: The property was just beautiful. Claire was generous and kind. It rained everyday we were there, but it didn't dampen our spirits at all. The trip and accommodations were amazing and I would recommend this beautiful property as a home base to anyone who wants a great stay while they explore the beauty of Scotland.

Summary: The cottage is lovely, with splendid views over Loch Lomond. From the garden you have Ben Lomond in front of you. And sometimes the Ben is gone if there is Scottish drizzle around. The walks nearby are very good, with stunning views on the way. The walk into Balloch is worthwhile, have a nice lunch in Balloch and walk back. Claire is a good and welcoming host. She gave good information, and she is nearby if you need help, but respects the guest privacy at the same time. The cottage inside has everything you need, with nice areas to choose from with nice views again, with welcoming sweets. Lots of birds around, and we spotted a deer on our walk back from Balloch. We will come back when we come over from the Netherlands and choose this area again in Scotland. Thx Clair.

Summary: Excellent accommodation. Well equipped with everything you need for an extended stay. Description and photos are accurate. Nice gardens with a lovely elevated seating area with expansive loch views - perfect for an evening wine or chilling back with a book. Claire is a responsive host. Hiking trails from the property. Short drive into Balloch which is a pretty town with all facilities. We found it an excellent central base for touring throughout the Loch Lomond area and also with Stirling and Glasgow less than a hour's drive away. Highly recommend.

Summary: It's a bit of magic to stay in a place so comfortable in a region with stunning beauty. A quiet location deep on a private drive - just the sheep to keep you company on walks in the area. The walk to the Balloch train station is no far, and worth the steps for the views!
Ronald K. Jun 12, 2023 03:56:07 PM
Summary: After the stunning view over Loch Lomond at arrival we got surprised by a warm welcome of the landlord and also a nice surprise in the house. We could feel the warmth to make our stay special. You find everything you need, including all information around the place, e.g. restaurants. All recommendations were exactly as described and worth visiting. You also find a guidebook to find all information, whatever you need. The stunning view every evening after returning from amazing tours in the area has helped us to relax and feel so good. I didn‘t remember to sleep so deep for a very long time. Whoever needs peace and inspiration during his vacation will exactly find it. For us a perfect stay.

Summary: Wanted to stay forever just for the views, but everything else was great too. Very comfortable huge double bed, well equipped kitchen, comfy sofas. Such a peaceful spot. Highly recommend. Claire was friendly and helpful too.
Linda S. May 4, 2023 08:02:38 PM
Summary: What a wonderful few days in the country! We had a rental car, which would be essential at this site. We made it our hub for traveling in the area. Although, I could also see someone using it to get away from it all. Incredible hostess as well.

Summary: A perfect base, in a beautiful location, for a very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highly recommend.
Faye P. Nov 10, 2022 06:31:41 AM
Summary: Claire's home was the perfect get away for us two couples. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom and privacy. The beds were very comfortable and everything about the apartment was welcoming and cozy. Claire left a bottle of wine and some snacks as a welcoming gift. We had a little difficulty finding the property as it is way down a private drive in the country but it was exactly what we wanted--away from everything else with beautiful views of Loch Lomond. The kitchen had everything we needed and the upstairs sitting room with the wood burning stove warmed is up on a chilly, wet evening. I would definitely stay here again.
