to get started.

Amanda was so friendly beginning the moment we arrived. Breakfast was made to order and very tasty. She was a wonderful host.

Mike

United States of America

Amanda was a great hostess. Breakfast was wonderful and the room was clean and pleasant to sleep in.

Patricia

United States of America

The 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.

Micah

United States of America

Thank-you for the great welcome and very useful information and advice about the area, especially where to take 4 teenagers to eat!

Elizabeth

Good location in town; clean room/facilities; very helpful/friendly staff. Didn't have the opportunity to have the provided breakfast due to airport departure time, but staff offered to provide us with snacks/coffee at 5a if needed.

Lorene

United States of America

My room/rooms were on the ground floor so no problem with noisy floorboards plenty of room, plenty of tea and coffee and lovely big towels. Waited a long time for breakfast but wasn't a problem as I had plenty of time.

Kim

United Kingdom

It was very clean and the location was right in front of the train station which was great. It’s right next to a pub and some restaurants and a supermarket and McDonald’s are just a few minutes away. The staff were incredibly kind giving us lots of tips where to go and how to spend our day. Can really recommend it

Michelle

The Breakfast was excellent - a healthy portion but not too large with a good selection of cereals, juice and fruit. The Host was very friendly and they allowed us to work in the dining room after breakfast which was much appreciated!If i return to Balloch i will definitely be staying here again.

“On the whole adequate but didn't come up to our expectations”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night

The "host" was struggling to meet the standard we expected. We all found the slope from exit door to car park very treacherous after an icy cold night. This needs attention before someone has a nasty accident .
The closeness to our evening venue. The welcome, in their absence, by the owners mother. She put herself out to explain why she was host for the weekend and with the help of relatives made us very welcome.

The lady welcoming us in was not so informative with some of the facilities in the place, loads of confusion going on later in the night and we simply couldn’t find anyone to respond. Tried calling the phone and emailing and nothing works. The room is extremely small for 3 people and we have no where to put things down. The facilities are at an acceptable rate as well as the cleanness.
The lady preparing the breakfast was really nice and sweet, the location is wonderful and the room was really quiet this time. The breakfast was amazing with the full English breakfast.

The only thing I would say is about the room we were in , it had a double bed and a single bed. Didn’t think it’s big enough for 3 people. There was no room to put anything. No dressing table mirror or chairs.
