We stayed at Balmillig over the May bank holiday and were lucky to have wonderful weather. The house and gardens are fantastic and create a homely, relaxed atmosphere. John and Anne are superb hosts, very friendly and knowledgable, but without being imposing at all. They are both mountain leaders and were genuinely interested in where we had walked each day....

I took the long pentecost weekend to stay some days near the mountains before moving on to my work conference near Edinburgh. On the map Helensburgh appears slightly outside Loch Lomond and the Trossachs NP but it conveniently close and Helensburgh is just that little bit bigger to give you the facilities you might not find in a small village...

This was our third stay at Balmillig and, as always, it was an outstanding visit. The blue room was equal to those in some of the well-regarded hotels we have stayed in and the breakfast was plentiful, varied and beautifully cooked. We slept like tops - we call it the 'Balmillig magic'. The location of the house and the lovely... More

The room was great- lovely and big with a good sized bath. we loved having an i-pad in our room also. Breakfast was equally very good- we only... More

Balmillig is definately the best accommodation we have stayed while being in Helensburgh. Every year we go to Helensburgh for my daughters dancing competition and I have to say that it really was the icing on the cake to have such a pleasant stay. The rooms were beautifully decorated, clean, homely, to be honest Anne and John have put alot... More

Balmillig House is easily the best B & B we have experienced. The friendly and homely atmosphere is great, food good, the accommodation just great. A great place to stay. A really great base to explore this part of Scotland. Michael and Mary Lynch

From the minute we walked through the door we were made to feel very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Anne and John are a lovely couple and provide a very warming, homely and friendly service without breaching customer privacy - a very elegant touch. We will definitely stay again. Our son was very thrilled as he was able to... More

I only was able to stay one night in Balmillig last weekend when I was invited to provide music for a local Scottish dancing group. Very easy to find from the train station and was met with a friendly greeting from Anne and John. I was staying in the Yellow Room which provided a comfortable bed and a great night... More
