We loved everything about Ballat Smithy.The location is great for exploring the vicinity around Loch Lomond and further afield.The cottage is very well equipped with everything.A generous welcome pack is provided.There are shops close by for groceries.We were particularly impressed that a tumble dryer and EV charging is available.We would have loved to stay longer as there is so much to do in the area and would love to come back another time.

We would recommend Balloch castle country park.Also a walk around Loch Lomond from Balmaha.The scenery on the way to Loch Katrine is stunning.Similarly a trip to Benmore Botanical Garden is fabulous.

What a fantastic little cottage!! I booked the cottage for a base whilst a friend and I covered the first couple of legs of the West Highland Way and the location was ideal for this and local amenities along with our dedicated driver to drop us off and pick up at the end of our daily treks. Superbly equipped and a beautiful touch with the welcome pack including bread cheese bacon and eggs to start us off. Immaculately lean and all in all a fantastic place . Thank you Anne

Clachan Inn at Drymen is great and the larger hotel for evening meals. The Skoosh cafe at Drymen for breakfast to if you’re not cooking for yourself.
