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 !

Stunning property
Beautiful detached house with very high standard of cleanliness and amenities, all the rooms were very spacious and have en suite toilets and showers. Large lounge and kitchen and great welcome pack . Beautiful gardens.. The house is just off the Arden roundabout and very near to Luss and Balloch, it's a couple of minutes drive to Duck Bay marina unfortunately we didn't book for dinner but managed to get in for a coffee .

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.

Another fabulous stay at bonny banks
This is our 3rd stay at bonny banks for a family break. It's an ideal set up for our needs and has everything you would want in self catering accommodation. Location is fab, clean with plenty of room. The hot tub is just the icing on the cake. Perfect.

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!

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

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.

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.

summer holiday 2023
A very nice property near Loch Lomond but without any direct or easy access to the shore. Rather dark inside as it is totally surrounded by very high trees meaning you can barely see the sky.

Luxury wtay
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.

Amazing short break
There were 4 of us staying at Bonnybanks Cottage and we had a fantastic stay. The Cottage has everything you could wish for. It is exceptionally clean, lovely comfortable beds and very spacious. We were so lucky with the weather and took a sail to Inchmurrin for lunch. 2 of our group walked to loch lomond (not far) for a swim. We had arranged for a mobile therapist to attend one day so we could make the most of the jacuzzi and have a spa day. All wonderful. This was my 3rd stay at Auchenheglish and won't be my last. FABULOUS

weekend break
The house had everything we needed for a relaxing family break with plenty of space inside and out for the adults and an active 3yr old. The only disappointment was the lack of direct access to the loch as promised in the website "a short walk through woodlands" as every path we tried had Private signs displayed. This had been one of the main reasons we had chosen to stay in this cottage and I think the company needs to clarify what guests can access on the estate with clearer/more detailed maps.

Birthday weekend
The cottage is lovely and the surrounding is beautiful. The owners have ensured that everything you might need is provided for your stay. The stay was to celebrate my 60th birthday and my family were supported to arrive early so that they could set up a surprise for me arriving which was lovely.
We did not use the sauna but the hot tub was great. If I could make one recommendation it would be for the roof of the pergola above the hot tub to be able to close as it was raining when we were there and although you are wet in the hot tub it was cold rain so did not use it as much as we would have liked, and this could be an easy change.
The only complaint I have was that the time went by too quick and did not want to leave. Will need to visit again in the summer months.
