A deer was spotted right next to us, no noise at night, not far from Ferry to Bute and trains into Glasgow. A wonderful week.

I was lucky with glorious weather during my stay. I was blown away by the location overlooking the Clyde and the passing cruise ship and ferries. It was very easy to get a train into Glasgow. In the main street at Weymns Bay was McCaskie's, a brilliant deli and cafe. Dumfries House is really worth a visit, but best to book in advance. All in all it was a great lodge, a brilliant location and the Scots are very friendly people

Handy for train links and ferry crossing to Bute. Initial problems due to boiler failure were quickly sorted by the owner Gordon and we had a comfortable stay. The Wi-Fi was a bit hit an miss and we only got connected to Sky a couple of times but we managed. It could have been due to the awful weather but that was no ones fault. I could not find much information about the appliances so struggled a bit using washer. If you want to use the park facilities you have to buy the passes at £16.50pp for 6 days. We did not bother as we do not go out in the evening and as my husband is disabled we would have to drive to the entertainment area which was up the steep hill. It cost us £42 return to take the car and 2 passengers to Bute but well worth it. Lots to see and do and visit to Mount Stuart is a must (but there is a bus if you don't want to drive). All in all a lovely area and views. Very friendly people. Welcome pack was lovely touch.
