The Cuddies is perfectly located in the heart of the Loch Lomond area, just a few miles from its shores. Ideal for couples, families and small groups looking to escape to a beautiful retreat. Our new build, fully equipped pods include private deck, picnic table and fire pit.
The stunning shores of Loch Lomond are only 2 miles from The Cuddies and we are on National Cycle Route 7 and in an area popular with walkers - the John Muir way is only 5 miles up the road. A great base to visit central Scotland with Glasgow 30mins, Stirling 45 mins and Edinburgh 1.5 hours away day trips are an easy drive.
