It was very spacious and well equipped situated in a lovely position on the shores of the Clyde, and with the railway in Helensburgh we could travel many places. Car journeys to local attractions was easy and welcome to our youngsters to visit Loch Lomond Leisure, they really enjoyed their upstairs bedrooms. The only downside was no gardener so the grass was rather long, I did find long handle shears which I used to trim the bushes to allow us access to the bins and down the drive.

We enjoyed the space and the massive windows. Only comment would be that we arrived to no toilet paper which had us a little stuck until we could go out and buy more the next morning.

Unfortunately we had a problem with the log burner too and just couldnât get warm enough all week. The property is lovelyâ¦, old, big rooms, well equipped esp the kitchen. Could do with some new towels as they were like cardboard! Weâd recommend it though weâd maybe try in warmer weather.
