We had a few wonderful days in the Penthouse with 2 kids. The excellently equipped and very functional kitchen allowed us to enjoy cooking our own meals - which was perfect just after the lockdown. Weather was hot and we would have enjoyed a balcony or open the windows wide as air condition was a bit noisy in some of the rooms. But the Penthouse doesn't have any balcony and for security reasons some windows cannot be opened which is a problem in the living and dining room during hot summer days. All the rest was perfect, beds very comfortable and the place very clean. All rooms were en suite and SKY TV at the guests disposition. The kids could play in the garden and go down to the lake for a swim as the Castle had its private access. There was nothing else we missed and we fully enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time in the Penthouse. The views are stunning and myself, husband and 3 sons all appreciated the beauty. The accommodation has everything you need and more. It was very clean and beautifully laid out. We could easily walk to a lovely hotel nearby that did great drinks and food. We would love to go back.

lovely large apartment, only down side is you need to ask for a spare key if you have more than 1 couple as you need the keys to get into the gated area with or without a car. welcome pack was fantastic as it saves you going to shops when you arrive. had a wee issue with tv and freezer but were sorted straight away. Only issue that didn't get sorted was the entrance hall was very dark and when my son reported it they said they don't control the lights there. This is no good when you have 2 young kids and an elderly mother in the party with me

We had the best 3 nights at the Penthouse when celebrating our wedding. It was equipped with everything we needed, it’s very spacious and very comfortable and the views are amazing!

Only negative was the intercom didn’t work so it was a bit annoying letting everyone in through the gate and into the property as they all had to call (this wasn’t ideal being the bride) but if it was just a family stay we wouldn’t have even noticed as no one else would have been accessing the property.

We are returning guests as this is our favourite part of the world.
Usually we stay in the Pier Cottage. But this year we had to try something different with the Penthouse.
It‘s a very lovely and spacious place. It‘s also very nicely decorated and we felt instantly at home.
The Penthouse is very well equiped. We only missed a few things, such as a toast stand or a smaller cafetiiere. Also a laundry basket would have been handy. We also missed some hooks in the hallway to hang our coats, especially when they were wet.
But these are only tiny things. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend it.
The team, especially Liz and Wendy, is doing a brilliant job. They are the friendliest people in the world and are always happy to help.
The best thing during this stay was an afternoon with some tea, a lovely view across the loch towards Ben Lomond and some gentle music from a piper who was playing at a wedding reception nearby.

Our overall stay was very good. The views were to die for and almost perfect weather. I have to say disappointed with the condition of the bedroom carpets ( lots of stains) ,mattress too soft, for us anyway and pillows lumpy.

The head housekeeper Wendy was very nice and helped us get heating up and running.

The carpet stains and pillows need to be addressed,then it would be perfect

This is a wonderful place to say. I almost don’t want to tell you in case it gets too busy and I can’t book in again.
Expect, space and comfort and the most amazing views you can imagine. I spent hours on the little window seat soaking up the views.
There are some great walks and the penthouse is well placed to tour the local area.
Don’t hesitate to book!

Accommodation was very comfortable and spacious with excellent washroom facilities in all bedrooms. View over the Loch was outstanding whether the sun was shining or the mist was rolling. Location was great for days exploring the Loch or a day in the city, catching the train from Balloch to Glasgow. Would return to any one of the properties offered by Auchenheglish as the standard of accommodation and customer service was fantastic.

Unfortunately, due to adverse weather conditions we were unable to make the journey. We were very disappointed and did ask under the circumstances if we could rebook it for another weekend! However, we were told no. This we felt a little disappointed about as it was through no fault of ours! We did let a friend stay for one night to try and make used of it!



Accommodation Manager replied more than 1 year ago

Booked the Penthouse as a surprise for my wife's 60th birthday. People in the office went the extra mile to help deceive her when we arrived, even hiding addition keys so that our daughters could arrive later with out her knowing. Worked a treat, thank you guys.

The Penthouse had everything we could have wanted and the welcome pack was perfect. Views were fantastic especially from the turret in the master bedroom!!

Would recommend staying here there is a wide variety of types of accommodation all to the highest standard. Look forward to returning.

The apartment was very spacious, comfortable and furnished to the highest standards, with all mod-cons, and looked to have been very recently re-decorated/furnished. The master bedroom was akin to a bridal suite and the views over the Loch from the Penthouse were simply stunning. It provided an ideal bolt hole for our family while we attended a weekend wedding at the Cruin - we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Three couples rented the Penthouse for 3 nights to attend a wedding weekend festivities at Cameron House. It was an easy walk (not in heels) to the other property. We took the train up to Ballach and taxi to rental office/property.
We didn't realize there wasn't a lift, so the 3 flights of stairs with luggage were difficult. The views of the Loch were amazing and the suite was nicely decorated. The fridge was stocked with bread, butter, milk, orange juice and wine. Blow dryers were provided!
My only real criticism was there was lack of towels; no kitchen towel (small roll of paper towels) 1 bath & hand towel per person, but only 1 washcloth for the entire group. There should really have been 6, 1 per person. Instructions on how to use the oven and cooktop would be helpful. It took us a while to figure it out. Otherwise, quite enjoyable stay.

A beautiful place to stay on the Bonnie banks with stunning views and lovely furnishings that match the lovely Scottish surroundings, the pictures don't really do the place justice! Very comfortable beds with plenty of towels for us and the milk, bread and wine waiting in the fridge is a nice touch.
Minor issue with lack of hot water on last day which was really unfortunate but I am however confident had we noticed the night before and informed property managers they would have tried to ensure the issue was fixed for us in the morning and were apologetic.
Overall, we really did have a fabulous stay and hope to return to the property next summer!

We were a party of three staying at the Penthouse so the place felt very spacious. Well decorated and furnished with gorgeous views from every window. Remember to take binoculars though as the pair provided did not work well. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome food pack was a really nice touch included in the rate. There was a knack to turning on the hob which was the only small frustration of the stay.
Liz was wonderful with her timely responses to emails and in welcoming us on the day at the office.
For us it was an easy walk to Lomond Shores and back. We took the car to Luss. Both worth a look with cafes, shops and attractions.
Not the highlight of our trip for us, that accolade goes to the Isle of Skye, however a superb stay in a really lovely location in beautiful historic accommodation.

We were a family of 6 staying for 3 nights earlier this month. The castle is beautiful and the Penthouse even more so. The view of Loch Lomond is stunning from every window. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfortable, and the sound system throughout the Penthouse is a nice bonus. Each room having its own ensuite is very nice.
We went to Loch Lomond Shores which is not far away and rented bikes at the little beachfront area near the children's playground. We rode to Luss which is about 8 miles away, mostly on off-road tracks. Luss is well worth a visit and the trail is mostly flat with a few ups and downs but totally doable with our 10 year old. (Make sure you go through the golf course, much nicer trail off the main road.) You can also rent kayaks in Luss on another day and enjoy paddling around the Loch and all the little islands.
The Penthouse was a highlight of our trip to Scotland.

My daughter and her bridesmaids stayed in the Penthouse prior to her getting married and really loved the setting and the facilities. The location is amazing and the apartment was well equipped. The only drawback was just having one set of keys to the apartment, which is difficult when there are six people coming and going, especially when you need a fob to even access the grounds. 10 o'clock is also rather early to have to vacate the property on the day of departure.

Had a great weekend break.the apartment was all that we expected and more very clean and comfortable with the added bonus of spectacular views. We would have happily stayed a week here. There were six of us with varying interests and we found plenty to do in the surrounding area and fortunately we had the bonus of good weather. We had initial problems switching on the hob but after a quick phone call to Wendy she came and demonstrated it for us( we weren't holding the on button down for long enough).as a group we like to cook and found the facilities in the kitchen to be more than adequate but there were also restaurants etc.near by if you didn't want to cook. We all left much fitter having enjoyed many peaceful wailks in the surrounding area not to mention the 47 steps up to the Penthouse-but the views soon revived us!

We loved our stay at the Penthouse.

It was certainly luxurious and the views in slightly snowy February were spectacular.

The kitchen was superbly equipped. The bathrooms were amazing and the bedrooms extremely comfortable and spacious.

We had our very well behaved 4 year old grandson as part of our party. I'm not sure whether some of his more boisterous contemporaries would have coped so well with the steps from the living area to the dining area.

We have just returned from a weekend spent at the Penthouse apartment in Lomand Castle. What a stunning place, we didn’t want to leave. The apartment itself is beautiful with three ensuite bedrooms, a large kitchen and a huge living-diner, all with stunning views of the Loch. The master bedroom is truly special, it’s a huge room with a large ensuite, but of course, it’s distinguishing feature is the turret again with wonderful lake views. All the beds were comfy with good quality bedding. In fact, the quality of the fixtures and furniture were very high throughout. The apartment is very well equipped, there is an iron and ironing board and each room has a hairdryer (this isn’t specified on the website so I had to email to check.) The welcome pack of milk, bread, orange juice, cereal, jam and bottle of wine were much appreciated.

These lodges are situated about 4 miles outside Balloch, so a car or taxis are required. We were attending a wedding in The Cruain which is in the same grounds, so it was very convenient for that. Communication with Liz was excellent and very clear instructions were given on key collection etc. She was also kind enough to let us have a 12pm check out instead of 10am as our flight home wasn’t until late afternoon. We had a wonderful stay and my only regret was that we weren’t able to stay longer and explore the area, it’s a truly beautiful spot.

The accommodation was fantastic. Liz, who booked it for us was excellent and I appreciated all her help. The bedrooms were superb with very comfortable beds & pillows. The owners had thought of everything and could not find anything that I would change. It was so quiet and relaxing. Although this was not an issue to us, please remember you have 46 steps to get up to the accommodation but worth it for the amazing apartment and views. We would definitely recommend this apartment.

Sept 2016 was our second stay in this lovely castle, this time in the penthouse as there were 6 adults and a toddler. We had a wonderful few days and the Scottish weather didn't let us down with warm sunshine. The location is very central for some beautiful drives and plenty to do within easy reach. The apartment is tastefully furnished with a modern interior and beautiful views across the loch. The facilities are excellent with everything you need supplied, although it would be useful if the website gave more information on this such as a list of essentials, e.g. iron, hairdryer etc. Also instructions on how to use the hob for those of us not used to ultra modern equipment would be useful. I would thoroughly recommend the Penthouse as an excellent place to stay with a variety of places to eat within easy reach. There are a few flights of stairs to negotiate so may not be suitable for everyone but we had three generations in our party and had no problems. We look forward to our next visit.

We didn't stay much as we were out , I would def go back and actually spend more time, the place is really good, rabbits on the fields, as we were leaving we found out that there's 20 steps and theres a small enclosed beach area.
Only downside is theres no BBQ, I'm not sure if it can be done on the grounds.



Great stay at wonderful accomodation

Myself, my partner and 4 of our friends recently stayed at the Penthouse for 3 nights as a close friend was getting married at the near by Botourich Castle. The communication from the owners was great from the start and they were very helpful with providing information on how to get to the lodges and also instructions of how to access the keys etc. The Penthouse is situated on Loch Lomond behind electronically controlled gates which instantly made us feel safe as the only people who can access it are people who are actually staying at the property. All 3 rooms have en suite bathrooms which made it very easy for everyone to get ready without getting in each others way. The rooms were spacious, especially the master bedroom which my partner and myself had the pleasure of staying in. The views over the Loch were beautiful and the location was great, on the Sunday afternoon we visited the Duck Bay Hotel which was a short 5 minute walk from the Penthouse which had great food and a lovely bar for a few drinks. Overall, we had a great stay at the Penthouse and would definitely like to stay again.

It is not often that I am surprised these days, but on this occasion we attended a great wedding with family and friends that was made even better with the Penthouse to look forward to at the end of each day, an exceptional base to use for exploring the local area. My family and we would definitely use it again, thanks again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Penthouse, it was more than fully equipped for all our needs. Stunning views in a morning even with low cloud/fog...!

Our only one comment is the lack of information provided on the booking website with regards to what is provided i.e. dishwasher tablets, tea & coffee, hairdryers, bread and milk etc. These we all very much welcomed surprises and appreciated however it would have been good to know these basics were provided to prevent duplication.

Stayed at the Penthouse from Friday 19th February to Monday 22nd February and it was a dream. On arrival we already had clear key collection instructions and entrance to the lodge and the apartment was completed with ease.

The entrance hall is stunning, and the penthouse is right at the top of the building so there are alot of stairs, this was no issue for us, but something to bear in mind.

The penthouse was simply stunning, every room was amazing, extremely clean and designed to a high standard, a truly Scottish theme throughout which made for beautiful pre-wedding photographs whilst getting ready for my big day. The master suite was the room I sued for my honeymoon (2 nights) and this was stunning, a larger room with a beautiful turret en suite bathroom and beautiful bedroom furniture.

The welcome pack with basic groceries was a nice touch, and the facilities in terms of Wi-Fi, etc were also very good.

The setting and views were amazing from all of the windows, and it was easy to have visitors coming and going to the lodge as needed on the day of the wedding for photos video etc, with a simple to use buzz in system. The only issue was the buzzer was not very loud and so you needed to be ready for visitors and know they were coming.

Nothing else could be faulted, it was beautiful and I will definitely be booking again.

Loved it
Cheers
Raya

Just like to say that our stay at the Penthouse was enjoyed by all the party attending a wedding at the Cruin nearby, customer service was excellent, I had originally booked for Saturday and Sunday, however asked if we could change the booking to include the Friday, nothing was too much bother this was done and the booking changed the next day, as for comfort, the beds were like, as my daughter I law put it, sleeping on a cloud, The location was outstanding, the views from the penthouse spectacular overlooking Loch Lomond, extremely good value for money, Would definitely book this property again

What a wonderful few days we had staying at your Penthouse apartment at Loch Lomond. Everything was just perfect! In addition to the fabulous views, we especially liked the extra little touches such as the bottle of wine we found in the fridge upon arrival and the tea, coffee, milk & cereal that were provided. We will definitely be recommending to our friends!

Excellent customer service from Liz at Auchenheglish Lodges. Great apartment with fantastic views. We were there for my son's wedding and the size and layout made it ideal to accommodate the various visitors who were in and out during the day.(hairdressers etc.)
Look forward to a return visit when it's less hectic and we can better appreciate the beautiful surroundings.

As a family of 5 we made this our main summer holiday staying for a week. All of us from aged 8-45 loved it. The accommodation is to the very highest standard. The tasteful hallway meets you when you arrive. The kitchen is very practical and superbly equipped with top quality appliances. The living area is luxurious and our 2 boys loved the sky and bt sports channels. The 3 bed rooms are all en suite and to the highest specification. There is also an excellent level of general equipment e.g. ironing boards etc. The main wow factor awaits you when you wake up and look out the windows at the breathtaking views. Overall this was worth every penny and we have recommended it to family and friends.

We attended a family wedding at The Cruin, so the location was ideal and worked out to be much better value for money than staying in one of the alternatives (no taxis required for a start). The Penthouse is just what you'd expect from the name - utter luxury. The apartment itself has been extremely well thought out & everything is provided to ensure a comfortable stay. We particularly liked that each bedroom was en-suite, so no short straws when we were all trying to get ready at once! And the view.....well, what can I say. It would certainly be on my list of Lottery win purchases (we can but dream). In the meantime, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here & we would absolutely love to find an excuse to come back.

I stayed in the master bedroom which was just incredible with the comfiest bed I have ever slept on. I have already begun recommending it to friends and family

It would be difficult to imagine a more beautiful setting and location for a holiday home. The Penthouse is the perfect accommodation to visit the area. The whole atmosphere when you enter the front garden through the gates, and then go to the apartment is almost impossible to describe. The property is excellent in every respect, and all of the staff could not have been more courteous and helpful. We will definitely be going back again.

This is my fourth time staying at Auchenheglish Luxury Lodges, all in different lodges and it has never disappointed. We stayed in the Penthouse on our most recent visit and it was simply amazing. The accomodation was stunning and the views spectacular. My mother, husband and children had a week we won't forget.
The staff are also really helpful and friendly. We'll be back again next year!
