Great Short Break at Loch Lomond
We stayed at The Smiddy for three nights. The property is excellent, so warm and welcoming. There was even a brand new kitchen! The property was stocked with everything we needed. Fiona was brilliant and took us through all we needed to know. It was very conveniently situated and we only wish we could have stayed longer.

Balloch holiday
Fiona was warm and welcoming and available when needed whilst also providing us our own space and freedom to come and go as needed. The property was clean, functional and well equipped and in a great location. Ample space for parking and close proximity to Balloch and Loch Lomond. Hope to stay again soon.
