"Lovely family run guest house within walking distance of Loch Lomond,"

8.0

The hosts were lovely, and very welcoming. It's rare to find this type of family run bed and breakfast now in the UK. It's a home from home, and a quiet location just outside Balloch. The breakfast was the best of our Scotland trip, the haddock was beautifully cooked, and absolutely delicious. The hosts gave us travel tips, and there was tourist information on site. Free off road car parking at the Guest house. There are plenty of pubs and takeaways nearby within walking distance.

Nothing really to dislike, an 11am check out would be preferable, but it got us out and about early.
