The room was great, very nice en-suite; the host were very nice and the breakfast was awesome! We even were able to get some washing done, which was great after being on the road for a few weeks already.. There was nothing we didn't like!.
The location was perfect for acess to Loch Lomond, for walks and for bus/train connections for travel further afield. The hosts were on hand when required but not obtrusive.
Breakfast was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble.wszystkie opinie »

We liked everything.
nothing to be honest.
Nothing.
The "Family" Room was very cramped for 4 adult sized people and all our luggage. Next time we'll do two rooms.
Coming home....
The walls are thin so noise from other rooms can be heard however this is not the fault of gowanlea as it wasn't designed as a hotel. A rather minor point.
The private bathroom was a little small not a big issue for two 5ft 3 girls , would be more of an issue for bigger people. Wasn't sold on Balloch after a week in Highlands it seemed to much like a town , however you have to put this in perspective if you came of the train from London you would disagree and there were some lovely pubs!.
Nothing.
We had no criticism of this guesthouse at all.
Parking can be a bit tight.
Bit puzzled by the bathroom sink.why square? Only bit of critisism we have.
Apart from some noise from sanitary installations, everything was perfect.
No faults.
Nothing. It would be nice if checkout and breakfast were slightly later though.
The en suite bathroom with the family room was tiny.
Nothing really. The electric shower is fine but a power shower would have been a bonus.
Nothing.
Nothing..
Instant coffee. We are fussy coffee drinkers.
Nothing, the stay was great thanks!.
the room and bed are small.
Nothing.
Bathroom very small & shower on/off switch outside in bedroon.
Lack of hooks and shelves in the Bathroom - this is a minor
Issue only.
All good.
Nothing I can think of!.
