Wedding accommodation

It’s a very nice place to stay could do with a little bit of up dating and refurbishment due to ware and tear of rental accommodation. Maybe a meeting when you first you get into accommodation would be also a nice touch. Lack of frying pan only Wok type pan not good for frying your eggs ! External Rubbish bins full on arrival so had leave on top of bins. Overall experience was positive, due to tranquil location. Differently need a car to get around with local shops in Helensbrough around 5 miles away.

Carriage Lodge

While the lodge was comfortable and met most of our requirements, the following are some items that we found need attention: 1. Trash/ Recycling: the bins were 1/4 to 1/2 full when we arrived and were not emptied during our entire 12-day stay 2. Towels: more than one bath towel/person would have been appreciated 3. The fans in the second floor bathrooms did not work properly 4. The front door was, at times, difficult to lock/unlock

Perfect

We were 3 couples staying in The Carriage Lodge. We chose this property over some of the other options based on the garden space that is available. One of our better decisions. Firstly, it has to be stated that we were very lucky with the weather. That certainly helps in this part of the country and not something that can be guaranteed. However, having lucked out with the weather we took full advantage of all the space and luxury this lodge offers. There was plenty of space inside to have a decent level of privacy, a decent amount of space, a decent level of flexibility to cater for our needs. We were in the garden until after 10pm each night. We took our own pizza oven / cooked on the BBQ and made full use of both large fridges. Lots of space for cooking / all utensils on hand Spotless. Well kitted out. Very helpful staff. Perfect.

Beautiful Property

Really nicely done out house on banks of Loch Lomond. Whole house seems to have been recently done out to an excellent standard and all rooms are beautifully furnished. Location is great for exploring the area but is not particualrly close to pubs, shops etc. with (mediocre) Duck Bay Marina about a mile away only place easily walkable. Garden is also fantastic. Property is large enough to accommodate 8 x adults or 2 x families of 4 in comfort.
