    Heron Lodge

    We have booked with auchenheglish lodges a few times now and honestly can't fault them. The booking is so easy and straight forward, customer service is great, any time we have emailed its always been responded to quickly. We previously stayed in the Criech Lodge but booked the Heron one this time and weren't disappointed. We love everything about these lodges, the heron lodge with the wrap round decking is lovely and peaceful. We are already planning our return for next year.

    Ideal.base for Loch Lomand, Oban and Stirling

    We had a wonderful base at Heron Lodge, an ideal location and comfortable cottage from which to enjoy the many lochs, walks and other sights available a shortish drive away. This is especially handy if you are a foreign person visiting Scotland and the Highlands. The cottage on the waterfront was well equipped and everyhing in the kitchen worked fine, which is not always the case. Many thoughtful Inclusions if you want to self cater.

    Great stay in a lovely property.

    Been a couple of times now and just love it so much. House is lovely decorated and spotlessly clean. Views are amazing lovely just to sit and look out. Easy to walk to Lomond Shores and into Balloch where there are nice places to eat and drink. Easy to book and Liz and Wendy are so helpful.

    Beautiful location

    My wife and I stayed for two nights for my daughter's wedding at the Cruin. We couldn't have been happier with the lodge which is spacious, well equipped and is located by the side of Loch Lomond, a truly spectacular spot. We would recommend the Heron lodge to anyone looking for a quiet and cosy retreat.

    A beautiful peaceful place to stay.

    Our stay was 1st class, we met Jim the owner on our first night and he was a proper gentleman bringing my partner a bottle of red the next day. Our time at the lodge looking out on the the mountains and Loch was so peaceful and tranquil. We even stayed at the lodge a couple of nights as it was so comphy and warm. I cannot rate this place high enough. Thanks to Jim and all the staff for making our staff fantastic and we will 100% be back again.

    Amazing setting

    Amazing location, right on edge of the loch. Very clean and comfortable. Only problem was that the mattress was way too soft for us. The lodge staff did their best to remedy this for us. Overall a lovely lodge, in an a beautiful location. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back, if the bed had a firmer mattress.

    Beautiful location, spotless, furniture tired

    We have stayed here numerous times, and absolutely love the location, the facilities , and how clean the property is. However, we feel that the luxury description no longer applies, bed very soft and uncomfortable, tub chairs in living area, very hard and worn , so unable to relax looking out on the beautiful view. Would benefit from an upgrade to more suitable, comfy seating, so we could sit there all day .
