    Maybe I missed the instructions but we couldn’t find the washing machine/dryer. There was a locked door on the outside of the property and on speaking to the owner we found there was a key to that door in a kitchen drawer, and that’s where the laundry facilities are.

    Location amazing, in sight of the Loch just a short walk away. West Highland Way walking trail runs past the entrance. Very quiet at night. Lodge was well equipped so we cooked some of the time and used the BBQ though there is a Pub almost next door if you prefer to eat out. It was busy though, booking for dinner recommended. Friendly and helpful owner, not on site but easy to contact by phone, grateful for me reporting a couple of maintenance issues.

    A few more chairs on the verandah please. The Lodge sleeps 6 but there are only 4 outdoor chairs.

    The location is breathtaking and we were there the evening of the amazing Northern lights show so very special and memorable for us. The Lodge ticked all the boxes for us and had a very homely feel. Ensure that you have all basic provisions with you as there is nowhere nearby to shop. We used the Lodge as a base to climb Ben Lomond so excellent location as right near the start of the walk.

    Have never been somewhere so we’ll equipped! I always do self catering and take everything….at this lodge most of what I’d packed got left in the boxes as it had everything! Very comfortable, excellent Wi-Fi for the teenagers and lovely location- just remote enough!

    The weather wasn’t brilliant but hardly the lodges fault, January in Scotland! We came prepared so not a problem. The Clansman Bar next the hotel being shut until March was a bit of a let down but we made alternative arrangements

    Perfect location, Lodge very spacious and well equipped. Everything was very clean and the welcoming bottle of wine was much appreciated

    Caol Gleann lodge provided the perfect get away, the lodge is cosy but modern, it has everything we could possibly need. The lodge is a few minutes walk to the loch edge with spectacular views of Ben Lomond and beautiful trail walks nearby. Our host deserves a special mention, we had a couple of enquiries and requests and they couldn’t have been more accommodating- it’s really helped make the trip extra special. I hope to come back very soon!

    We loved everything about this cabin the location is great on the loch at the bottom of ben lomond. Inside was outstanding the owners have gone to great detail to make it perfect for guests we couldn't fault the place and added bonus was a great bar called the clansman on site with log burning stove great food and excellent selection of drinks perfect after a day hiking we are already planning on dates for next year

    This lovely, cosy lodge is right on the Loch and at the foot of Ben Lomond (a popular hiking mountain). Stunning setting on the quiet side of the Loch. The lodge was clean and comfortable with all the stuff we needed provided. There was a double room, a twin and another room with bunk beds. Perfect for our family of four. We hope to be back.

    The double bed was a little bit uncomfortable due to a hard mattress but nothing major! That’s the only con I found about the property, other than that everything else was spot on!

    Couldn’t recommend Coal Gleann Lodge enough! Very cosy and clean place surrounded by amazing scenery. Will definitely think about coming back later on in the future.

    Some of the owners in other lodges with dogs roaming free...not wee welcoming dogs either.... but apart from that absolutely nothing highly recommended

    what a wonderful relaxed break. The lodge was fantastic and very welcoming 😀 loved my bottle of wine left as a welcome:). My husband and our complex needs children need a lot of space as well as our dogs and we never felt squashed as they say lol. swimming, jumping of the pier! loads of memories made thank you. x

    None of these are due to the property really. Tips: Plan ahead for the midges and buy midge spray. It was 26 degrees and we couldn’t cool down - we count ourselves as lucky and imagine May half term in Scotland with this temp is a blessing!

    Incredible location on the beach, at the bottom of Ben Lomond, on the loch and watersports hire. All whilst feeling very remote and away from it all. A very lovely lodge cute, comfy sofa, had everything you needed and a gated decking great for dogs and little children,
