Our family of six loved our stay at the beautiful, exceptionally clean cottage. When we discovered the dryer wasn't working on our first night and left Gordon a message, he drove over a new dryer the next morning! Liz was very helpful and communicative before and during our stay. Definitely recommend.

First trip to Loch Lomond
Good location on a private Estate. Admin were extremely helpful with any request for more information or help during our stay, I was confused by the private signs all around and didn’t want to disturb others. Once Liz had sent over a helpful map we had no problems getting around locally and soon found our favourite places to eat in walking distance, a most welcome find.
Good size en suite for all rooms (I would suggest taking non slip bath mats if that’s something you use at home) overall an excellent stay.

Excellent!
The house is lovely, very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Customer service is fantastic and they go out their way to ensure everything is as it should be. We had a minor problem and someone was sent out to fix it within a short time.
The location is beautiful, not far from Loch Lomond and we enjoyed a long scenic walk.
This was our second stay here and we’ll definitely be back again.

Spacious & well equipped cottage
A great find for a family get together. The cottage was well positioned for exploring the area. It had everything you would need, and more. We visited the sea life centre and a booked the spa at the Lodge on Loch Lomond. A beautiful area and so peaceful .
I’m not sure why the hot tub water needs checking every day as we had to get out of it one morning to allow for the testing having only just got in !

Loch Lomond Gem
Party of six and one grandchild.
The cottage was ideal for our group and large enough so that we never felt in each others way. Cleanliness, equipment, comfort and location were excellent.
It was a pleasure to spend time there and we felt that we could have happily stayed in the grounds venturing out only for food when necessary.
My only negative comment is that the downstairs bedroom needs a set of drawers instead of the chair. This lack of drawer space meant that we lived out of our suitcases, as the small shelf in the wardrobe is inadequate for a stay longer than a few days (Comfort score 4 was because of this).
Hot Tub and Sauna were great and used every evening.
The cottage is excellent and in a lovely peaceful location. All in all we had a great time and hope to return again.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful part of the country
We had a family weekend in the house, it was spotlessly clean with plenty of space for everyone.
Its the little touches that make the difference, the welcome pack, hot tub and sauna were a real bonus.
The location is good, a 30min walk takes to to Duck Bay where you can get a drink and excellent food and right next door is Cameron House hotel if you wont something a bit posher.
Over all a great weekend in a wonderful house.

Love Bonnie Banks Cottage
Great stay in this beautiful home. 3 bedrooms provided ample room with a modern kitchen and living room, enough for 3 couples. Liz was fantastic in helping with any questions prior to our arrival, and once there, with great suggestion to take advantage of local scene. My only wish was to have it a bit closer to Cameron House. Great experience overall.

Great cottage and location
We stayed for 7 days, had a wonderful time. The cottage was perfect for a family of 4 and 2 grandparents. The location at Loch Lomond is brilliant and it provides as excellent base to explore the amazing national park. Take your bikes and head off into the bike trails to find the rivers and waterfalls.

Fantastic cottage
Bonnie banks was a perfect family cottage. We stayed with our two young boys and they loved it. The cottage was spotless on arrival, a perfect home from home. The hot tub and sauna were fab. The location was great, close to Balloch, and a nice little cycle route around loch lomand and straight road towards fort william. We will definitely be back to stay again.
In secluded area so not overlooked. Everything was on hand and worked well for us with one ground floor bedroom. Owner was very helpful

A wonderful stay in a fantastic cottage
We were tired mums looking for peace and relaxation, this was the perfect place. The cottage was well appointed, spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The hot tub was an excellent addition as was the sauna. We placed a Tesco order, everything arrived and then we relaxed in the wonderful surroundings for 2 blissful nights. We made the short 15 min walk to Duck Bay on Saturday for a late lunch and then back to relax. I would highly recommend this property, we will certainly be back!

Happy family holiday
We had a lovely, chilled week at Bonnie Banks. The hot tub and sauna were well-used and enjoyed by everyone. The property is spacious (there were six of us for some of the week) and had everything we needed. Not quite enough barbecue weather, but that's Scotland for you; we did manage two though and being able to eat outdoors was lovely. Only suggestion for future improvement would be the addition of an EV charging point.

Wedding weekend
We booked this for attending a wedding at The Cruin. Whilst being near to the venue it was not as we thought within convenient walking distance.
That being said, the cottage was lovely. It was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The addition of the sauna and jacuzzi is excellent and great for relaxation.

Perfect family weekend
The only criticism is the automatic lighting in the bathrooms - it's really annoying in the middle of the night for the very bright lights to come on.
A map of the local area showing walks & directions to the loch would have been useful, a neighbour pointed things out to us.
We didn't use the hot tub so can't comment on that, but everything else in the cottage was clean, new bathrooms & comfy beds.
We were woken in the night by a piercingly loud alarm, we think maybe a short power outage, it thankfully went off quite quickly.

Great place to holiday. The cottage was exceptional, very well equipped and clean. The starter pack that was provided was beyond expectations. Furniture and decor certainly high spec.
Hot tub and sauna made our holiday seem special. Garden very private. Easy access with key code supplied. Only downside was cottage not easy to find but rung owner and was given directions.
Walking distance to Inchmurrin ferry.
