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 ##### Gill B.

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. 😊 ##### Martijn v.

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!).

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.

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. ##### Kathryn C.

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. ##### Chris T.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### b k. 8 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful stay A family of 6 adults stayed here for a week in July, enjoying the incredible surroundings and relaxing in this very comfortable house. The house is located within a short distance from a section of the West Highland Way and is very near Loch Lomond, literally 5 minute walk on the main road. There are excellent walks in this area, some with fantastic views over Loch Lomond and its islands (Cashel Forrest, Conic Hill etc). The three bedrooms are comfortable with lots of storage space. The downstairs public rooms are brilliant for larger groups as they provide a lot of space for everyone to have their own quiet corner or to group together for some family time. Internet service was upgraded during our stay, it generally worked well but it became patchy if it rained. The garden is stunning, with lots of space all around the house. The pictures on the website don't do justice to how beautiful this house is within its lovely mature gardens. The conservatory is very useful for keeping warm on rainy days while still enjoying the garden. The garden has many additional seating areas but the only downside was the traffic noise from the road which is running right in front of the garden. This road leads to the climbing trails to Ben Lomond so probably busy in the summer months and hopefully not so busy all year round. One piece of advice we would give to the future guests of this property is to bring with them the kitchen essentials (dish washer tabs, kitchen foil, tupperware etc) if they intend to cater on any significant scale. The nearest well-stocked shops are in Aberfoyle or Balloch, and I wouldn't count on the Spar in Drymen to have everything you need, it's really quite basic. The hosts are very helpful and respond to communications very quickly. We would definitely stay here again, and hope to do so in the not so distant future. ##### b k.
