Amanda was so friendly beginning the moment we arrived. Breakfast was made to order and very tasty. She was a wonderful host.
United States of AmericaAmanda was a great hostess. Breakfast was wonderful and the room was clean and pleasant to sleep in.
United States of AmericaThe staff was very welcoming and very accommodating. We rented bikes that she let us put in the yard at night and held our luggage for us after check out. It is easy to see how hard Amanda works to make things comfortable for her guests. The location is great for the train and for catching the water bus on Loch Lomond.
United States of AmericaThank-you for the great welcome and very useful information and advice about the area, especially where to take 4 teenagers to eat!
United KingdomThe owners were fantastic, especially during the coronavirus situation, told us lots about the area, really friendly and provided us with a great breakfast and a little picnic bag for the day. Lovely clean and tidy rooms. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomSmall room but everything you need. Very comfy bed. Breakfast was superb. Located in centre of Balloch but still quiet. Amanda (owner) goes above and beyond. Would recommend.
United KingdomOwner went beyond the call of duty to meet our needs.
United KingdomLocation was great right in the centre of balloch, and right next to balloch park and loch Lomond which was very picturesque. Amanda was super friendly and really made you feel at home and breakfast was great in the morning too!
United KingdomI wasn't sure what to expect as it was my first stay that wasn't a tent in more than a year, given the unusual times and excess requirements placed on the hospitality sector. But pretty much everything was done really well to make guests feel comfortable. And Amanda was a very helpful and friendly host.
