We have recently returned from a week's stay at Chapelhill. The house was amazing (even nicer than the lovely photos) and the surrounding views are absolutely beautiful. The house provided everything we needed and more, the children (and grown men) were delighted with the PlayStation 5 and we all had great fun in the Boathouse playing darts, pool, table tennis etc. The welcome pack was the most generous we've experienced and Liam was on hand to answer any queries we had. We've never come across a more accommodating, generous host and it made our stay extra special. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. Many thanks for a fabulous week 😊

We had a fantastic stay at Hollybank Lodge for my partner’s birthday. It is a gorgeous 1 bed lodge with stunning views across Loch Lomond. The standard of accommodation was beautiful and the little touches such as the prosecco, gin, chambord, along with cheese and biscuits were just perfect! We used the hot tub every night and it was fabulous! Word of warning though…. it turned my blonde hair green at the ends due to the chlorine (had always thought that was a fable) so be careful to properly tie your hair up! The included membership to Cameron House spa and golf was brilliant! We used both and really enjoyed it. The only consideration I would give is that the landscaping is getting high around the lodge and it will block the beautiful view if not trimmed back soon. Additionally, a couple of heavy blankets would have been a perfect addition to allow us to sit on the outside rocking seats at night and watch the stars. It’s relatively pricey but absolutely worth it! A fantastic weekend away. We will definitely return and will try their other lodges too.…

Responded 19 Oct 2023
Thank you so much Vicki for your lovely review it is always a delight of ours to know that our guests have had such a wonderful time at Hollybank Lodge. We would love to see you return and thank you once again for being such lovely guests With ref to the heavy blankets there is a large heavy blankets in the bedroom which can be used for sitting outside should you wish to wrap up and keep warm and cosy. Thanks for your feedback ref the landscape view, one of the important features of the lodge is that our guests have an un-interupted view of the loch at all times, the landscape is well maintained regulary to keep this wonderful feature. Take care and thanks for allowing us to accommodate you. Auchenheglish Lodges

This was our second stay at the Jetty Lodge, the first time with our daughter, son-in-law and a small baby. Second time with my 89 year old mother-in-law as an early 90th birthday gift. The accommodation was well suited to both groups. Location is fantastic. The house is right by the water and the view is stunning although being east facing the deck does not get any afternoon sun. Overall would struggle to find any faults and would thoroughly recommend this lodge.

We have just returned from the Stables Lodge and were disappointed with our experience, so much so we left a day early. We had expected privacy, however it was immediately apparent on arrival that this wouldn't be the case as the courtyard directly in front of our lodge is shared and other guests were using as we arrived. The garden to the side was also not private as only separated from next door by a very low fence (approx waist height) and the entrance road running directly in front. The garden furniture also wasn't clean so we had to eat inside as we didn't think we would need to bring cleaning supplies to enjoy meals on the patio. We couldn't find a path down to the loch (the listing stated 200 yards away) and all paths were marked 'private' and led to other residences. There was no signage or instruction how we could get down to the loch. We therefore had to use the car to get down to it. There was no usable wifi, so would be very wary if you are needing to stream or work as will need to use data. The wifi signal was extremely weak and dropped out constantly after a few seconds. We had to use our own mobile data during our stay. I contacted the manager, who did try to reset the router (located in another building), however this made no difference as the accommodation is clearly too far away from the hub. There was a lot of noise in the lounge coming through a shared internal door from the guests next door. The tv had a sky box but all movies were pin protected so had to use our own data to watch a movie, evening entertainment was limited because of this. The noise from next door was such we had to use our headphones to hear the tablet we were using. The cold tap in the kitchen was very stiff and my partner struggled to turn it without discomfort from an old injury. The hairdryer was broken ( components rattling around inside) and dirty/ clogged filter but also wouldn't even switch on, not that we would have used it if it did as it was filthy. I have a video of the state it was in. There wasn't any basic toiletries available other than 2 rolls of toilet tissue. We therefore tried to minimise our time at the property. This is fine if staying at a budget hotel, however for the price paid for a property marketed as luxury it was very disappointing. We certainly wont return here. …

Best self catering accommodation I have stayed in! Location is actually amazing (stayed in heron lodge and it is right on the water) and would stay again for this point alone-however the lodge itself is perfect-very clean, modern and has everything you need. Check in process was easy, welcome pack and other items(dishwasher tabs/clothes etc) was much appreciated. Definitely five star accommodation and would visit again.

We stayed at Ferrypoint for 4 nights in September for my husband’s 70th birthday. The lodge was stunning, very high quality throughout and the location overlooking Gare Loch was stunning. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything we needed – the generous welcome pack was an added bonus. From booking through to check-out everything was first class and special mention must be given to Liz who is so friendly, helpful and respectful . Graham, the owner, called in to see us shortly after our arrival and he couldn’t have been more helpful. This is the second time we have used this company and once again we cannot fault the overall experience. Definitely deserving of 5* rating and would have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends

Myself and a friend stayed in the Heron Lodge at the start of the month and we had an amazing time. The lodge was clean, homely and welcoming and the views are spectacular! It makes for a very relaxing weekend, perfect for couples or for friends who want to just unwind. It has easy and secure access and you are just along the road from the centre of Balloch where you have access to bars/restaurants etc making it the perfect location. We sat out on the balcony with a prosecco in the evening and a coffee in the morning and we could’ve sworn we were in the middle of nowhere! Idyllic scenery over the Loch and perfect peace and quiet. Couldn’t recommend more!

My husband and I tagged a couple of nights on here to a Glasgow city break to see Kevin Bridges. So glad we did the property is just stunning with amazing views over the lock. It had a very well equipped kitchen which was great for cooking in overlooking the lock. Wendy who we dealt with during our stay was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend.

Stayed in the Coachhouse. It isn’t 5* as they say on the website. It’s in dire need of some tlc and an update. The mattresses and sofa beds and fold out beds are no longer fit for purpose and were so uncomfortable for everyone. The bathrooms seemed to be unfinished with holes in the walls where perhaps a towel rail had been and there was stains all over the carpet in one of the bedrooms. We requested stair gates as we had 2 young kids with us, which were not fit for purpose as they didn’t fit neither the top or bottom of the stairs at all. The Coachhouse is attached to 2 houses on either side and the courtyard at the back is shared which isn’t specified. It states on the website it is a 200m walk to the water however every path down states private. We were only staying 4 nights so we managed, but will not be returning. It has the potential to be good but just isn’t quite up to standard advertised.…

Stayed at Hollybank House for my 50th birthday celebrations. Wow is the only word to describe this amazing house. Beautiful views over Loch Lomond on to Ben Lomond, hot tub, the decor, the kitchen facilities, the bedrooms in fact everything was just perfect, I also now think I'll be splashing out on Matthew Williamson fragrance sticks. Thoroughly recommend this property for luxury, relaxing experience. It also has very friendly Robins who come to visit who I will miss also.
