Cottage and gardens were very well maintained with secure off street parking and easy walk to Balloch centre. Owners were welcoming, helpful and very friendly. Perfect for 4 adults.

The apartment is soo good. Clean, new, there's everything that you can possibly need, the kitchen is very nice and clean, the beds are so comfortable, all rooms are warm, two bathrooms and everything was working perfectly. There are also board games to play during the evening after exploring the lake area. The apartment has been furnished and decorated with great taste and style, everything has a Scottish flavour in it. We have slept very well during the night, no noises of any kind, just good old silence. A great experience!
