    Fantastic place to stay

    The cottage really is wonderful. Very spacious and well equipped and really comfortable. Lovely big garden that our dogs loved. In a great location perfect for a relaxing time away from it all. Will definitely return for another visit, if only to feed the resident pine marten! (peanut butter and jam sandwiches!)

    Fantastic Dubh Cottage

    What a lovely cottage, very private and relaxing, has everything and more you need for a holiday, lots of space inside and good sized garden. Wildlife in abundance, got to see pine martins, badger, squirrel and numerous species of birds all from the comfort of being inside, remember to take seeds, nuts and eggs, you will not be disappointed. Also easy access to walks of all levels. Balmaha is a lovely wee village with local shop and tourist information. Would highly recommend for a getaway to relax.

    Perfect house and setting!

    Couldn’t have asked for anything more! The house had everything we needed, hosts went out of their way to be helpful, and the views from the windows were perfection!! The stream in the back sounds amazing too! We went on numerous walks, took a ferry to beautiful Luss, a wonderful beach is walking distance, and the taxi service was so helpful, as we didn’t have a car (Steven especially, who also recommended a wonderful pub in Drymen, The Clachan and drove us everywhere!). Highly recommend✨

    Dubh Loch Cottage

    Dubh Loch Cottage has a fantastic location eight miles along the (dead end) road from Drymen to Rowardennan on the way to Ben Lomond. The house is situated in a clearing in the forest, with its own burn running down the hill at the back and its own lochan across the road at the front, and evening visits by pine martens! The house itself is really well furnished and fitted out. Dubh Loch Cottage is a great base for outdoor family (with children aged 22, 19, and 16) holidays, exploring Loch Lomond and the southern highlands. We had an amazing stay and would love to return!

    Everything you want from a cottage

    Very clean, tidy and warm. Appreciated the phone call from Susie as we were enroute and extreme weather warnings with floods. As we’re weren’t that far away it was nice to know of alternative routes. The house has everything you need to make the stay comfortable. Although previous holiday makers had seen pine martins at the cottage we didn’t but plenty of birds. The chocs and wine were a bonus. Thank you Susie and Simon

    Wonderful house and location

    What a beautiful, beautiful house and location. We visited during the best two weeks of the summer, so we had the pleasure of using the house inside and out. Very nice, well kept garden. We encountered the gardening team the day before we left. They were there maintaining the gras and surroundings and were gone as swift as they had gotten there. No problem at all. There were some minor issues in the house when we arrived, which where resolved ever so quickly after reaching out to Simon and Susie. So eventually no problem at all. They are great hosts and reply very fast if you may ever need them. There is lots to do in the near vicinity, even if you don’t like to hike like us. The drive to the house is a tad long and the West Highland Way was quite a well used road as we found out. Lots of hikers and cars coming both ways on a road that is at some points a little tight for two cars to pass by. We had a great stay, can really recommend. Oh, and thank you for putting up a charger for Electric Vehicles, I used it every day to charge up my PHEV. 😊

    Lovely cottage and location

    We have just left the cottage after a wonderful week there. The cottage is very nice, well maintained and very clean and as per the pictures. The beds were really comfortable and there was plenty of living space and a super garden and outdoor area. We took some bird seed and had lots of visitors including a woodpecker, red squirrel and the elusive pinemarten! Our children are 7 and 4 and absolutely loved the cottage and garden. You can walk to the shore of Loch Lomond in about 5-10 minutes and the view is just amazing. We found plenty to do nearby-the acquarium at Balloch, Balloch castle grounds, Luss beach, Stirling Castle, Drummond Safari park and plenty of brilliant walks with the children and the dog. We were so sad to leave this morning after such a lovely week. We cooked a few nights in the cottage and the kitchen was well equipped although it would help to have some more children’s plates, bowls, cups etc. We had everything we needed to make proper meals for us all though and there is a lovely big freeze/freezer. We had a Sainsbury’s food delivery on the first day and there is a small Spa in Dryman (approx 20 mins away) and a decent size Co op at Balloch (approx 30 mins away). We also went to a wonderful pub in Dryman-The Clapham Inn. The food and service were super, and we went back the next night! Less nice food at the nearer pubs in Balmaha and Rowardennan so it’s worth the extra drive to Dryman if you want to eat out. The wifi is a bit patchy but given the location pretty good! We would definitely recommend the cottage and it’s location.

    Friends getaway

    Great place for our group of friends (3 x couples) to getaway. The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed for our time their, but the best thing by far is the outside space at the cottage and the fact that you are right next to the loch. 5 mins drive and you can be at any number of 'beaches' with direct access to the loch. We took a canoe and paddle board with us and was well worth it. Great holiday had by everyone, would definitely recommend.
