Just had the best time. We were on our honeymoon and our previous accommodation had fallen through last minute due to an unfortunate positive covid test. We chanced our arm with Waters Edge as we were driving past, and fortunately they could fit us in for 2 nights... It turned out to be our favourite place we stayed!
Fiona and Andy are fantastic hosts - we loved chatting with them. The location is literally as it says on the tin, the rooms are beautifully kept, the breakfast great and varied (they went out to get some soya milk for us because we forgot our own), and they even lent us one of

Absolutely fantastic. We had a wonderful three nights stay here for our honeymoon. We will definitely be returning.if not for the views then definitely for the breakfast! The location is excellent, it really is on the waters edge with a nice walk to Balloch and other bars and restaurants. Nothing seemed too much trouble, very clean and comfortable with great hospitality from Fiona, Andy and the boys! Whole heartedly recommend and cant wait to go back.

One of the nicest places we have stayed! Fiona and Andy are both wonderful hosts and will go out their way to make your stay perfect. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are cosy and well designed. The views are gorgeous and they make a mean Scottish breakfast also they have 2 beautiful dogs who were so welcoming and loved getting a good pet. Would 100% return and advise anyone who is thinking of staying here to do it, they won't regret it

We had a fantastic stay with Andy and Fiona! The location and views are spectacular and it really did feel like a home from home. The hospitality and food (can't beat the black pudding at breakfast ) were superb and if you're partial to a wee dram then wait until you see the collection. Can't wait to come back. Missing the dogs already!
