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.
