Confirmed Guest
Overall we had a wonderful time.On arrival at the apartment we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack.The apartment was much larger than expected set over two floors with large airy rooms.The parking is an issue.we had to park at the leisure centre carpark which is approximately 300 meters away, due to restricted parking outside the property.The oven was very greasy and had to be cleaned before use.The views from the property are amazing and we happily watched the cruise ships come and go. There is an abundance of nearby take away and eat in restaurants.An ideal place to discover Loch Lomond and surrounding area.

Gordon was an incredible host. He was very responsive when communicating anything relating to my stay. The apartment is set over two floors and so it feels more like a house than an apartment. Very homely and warm. I felt right at home.
