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. I suppose... More

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

I had a really lovely time at Water's Edge. I was spending three nights there attending a wedding in Loch Lomond. Donnie and Coleen were excellent hosts and treated me as one of their family.

You're never quite sure with British B&Bs exactly what you're going to get, no fear with this one I give it 5 stars without hesitation. We had the cottage suite which contains a delightful sitting room overlooking the loch, spacious bedroom and loo/shower room. Usual tea & coffee in room, but the milk's real, and a small whisky decanter for... More

The position is excellent nothing to say, probably the best b&b for the position in Loch Lomond. The hotel is nice and the room even if too small for us,nice and confortable. Cleaness is not at the standard of this rate, windows of the room were dirty with a dead fly on. The bath very small but clean. Only the... More
