Company information

We both work in hospitality industry. And we both used to work on cruise ships. We don't travel as much anymore but we love having people coming over to our guest house. We love meeting new people, have a nice conversation....

Property information

Our house is a traditional Scottish building built circa 1910. Its location is fantastic. Train and bus station within a few minutes walk. Two groceries shops. Not to forget to mention The Balloch Castle Country Park just across the street from us. Many pubs and restaurants are in the area. We now operate as a self catering property with access to full equipped kitchen. However if our guests would rather have a full cooked breakfast we can accommodate this on request.

Neighbourhood information

Balloch is the ideal place to start your trip in Scotland. It is both close to the city and the Highland. There are plenty of things to do around. Fantastic country walk, hiking, horseback riding, water sports.... There are great pubs and restaurants.
