This would probably a great place to spent your honeymoon, and I actually believe all other guests were indeed honeymooners. But we were just two tired travelers who wanted to spent our last two nights of vacation in comfort and peace. There is a lot to say about Water Edge Cottage, but comfort is not the first thing that comes... More

Could not wish for better. Great accommodation, lovely people, yummy breakfasts. Could not improve in any way. We spent a couple of nights in a lovely appointed suite with so many homely touches. Spotlessly clean and full of character. We would defiantly recommend Water's Edge Cottage to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Having only stayed here as a quick stopover to the following destination I can only say that we'd wished we were going to be staying for longer. Arriving fairly late in the evening it was a pure pleasure to still have some light to be able to enjoy the view of the cottage and the loch. The welcome was very... More

A lovely little B&B - we stayed in the Cranny, which was a cosy comfortable room decorated with vintage nik-naks and with a view looking out over Loch Lomond. We loved the friendly welcome from Donnie and Coleen, secure parking, homely feel, comofy beds, Loch view, delicious breakfast, interior of the lounge/room, complimentary dram and value for money.

We only stayed 1 night but it was excellent. Colleen and Donnie very helpful and welcoming. Excellent room, breakfast and location. Pity about the rain on Friday morning!! Location is brilliant overlooking the Loch. Would definitely recommend and will return on any future trip to Scotland.

When you mix waterfront location, cosy furnishings, delicious cuisine and Scottish hospitality you get this magnificent place called Water's Edge Cottage. Colleen is a wonderful host and her husband Donnie has a Bonnie sense of humour. It's a quiet little haven with a private car park and central enough for you to go any of the attractions around Loch Lomond... More
