‘Just returned home from a lovely week staying in Ballat Smithy Cottage. Very good value for money. We found the cottage very comfortable and were surprised at all the little extras: welcome food pack, wifi, DVDs and books, charger adapter plug, vanity unit in the main bedroom, washing machine and detergent.
We found the beds very comfortable, the bathroom very clean and instant hot water whenever we wanted it.
The cottage is situated in an ideal position for exploring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and also in easy reach for Stirling, Glasgow and the Highlands. We enjoyed exploring the little villages nearby and recommend Drymen for eating out.’
