About the host
Hosted by THE OLD SMIDDY
I’ve lived in Balloch for 32 years originally from next town of Dumbarton. I enjoy doing holiday accommodation and meeting guests from all over the world. Loch Lomond is a lovely place to stay.
Why they chose this property
Balloch is a lovely village close to Loch Lomond within walking distance of Loch and the National Park. Lots of places to eat plus sails on the Loch visiting the islands.
What makes this property unique
My property was built in 1862 and was once an old Blacksmiths used for tending to the horses still a few features till this day.
