“Fantastic cottage”
We are just back from a wonderful 3 nights at The Old Smiddy Cottage. It was beautiful, clean and in a brilliant setting for exploring the surrounding area. Our host Fiona and husband were so welcoming and on hand if we needed anything. Good restaurants and pubs close by. And the Balloch to Luss boat trip was fabulous, having time on Luss to explore. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
