Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We liked the lounge and being able to relax after a full day out. The kitchen had all the amenities needed to prepare meals and with a table and chairs to comfortable dine in the open plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area. Located in central Scotland, we were well connected to reach many places across the country. Having an EV charger was perfect to charge overnight and get going again the following day. One tip, most of the charging happens after midnight, so don't stress if you don't see much progress during the day and evening.

Negative: Driving out of the parking space was a little difficult as visibility was a bit tricky. The cottage is remote with no option to walk to a nearby pub.

Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: It was a very nice, clean and cosy cottage. The host had prepared a package of delicious local food, which was much appreciated. Also providing a Chrome app that could be used offline and contained lots and lots of information was very helpful. Quite some walks and sightseeing in the neighbourhood (but car needed to reach them).

Negative: The cottage is located directly alongside the busy A811 road, and the traffic sounds kept us awake. Nothing that can be done about that. WIFI reception was not very strong, probably because the main point was in the cleaning store and the walls are thick. Better put it in the living area? Also all the instructions were translated into Dutch using Google Translate, but that gave quite some formulation oddities. I'd prefer the original English ;-)

Summary: Nice and cosy cottage

Positive: The location of the cottage because it was a good base for exploring around Loch Lomond and further afield.There are several small supermarkets so it's convenient to pick up groceries on the way home after a day exploring.The cottage is very well equipped,cosy and comfortable and has a tumble dryer and an EV charging point.The owner is very kind to provide a generous welcome pack.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ballat Smithy and would highly recommend it to friends& family

Negative: There wasn't anything we didn't like but maybe some cushions for the bench in the seating area at the side of the cottage would enhance the property even more.

Positive: Cosy cottage. Touch tone lamps in bedroom were nice. Lovely, helpful, approachable owner. Had all that we needed for our stay. Starter pack provided was nice and tasty. Comfortable beds. Plenty of kitchenware for cooking, which we did every day. Board games were fun. Plenty books and maps to explore the surrounding area. Driving distance to Drymen and Loch Lomond and very near to home in Glasgow. Easy to travel to. The horses were lovely at owners cottage next door. Left some items behind on check out which owner has kindly contacted us about and offered to post to us.

Negative: Wasn't walking distance to anywhere, like local shops, pubs, restaurants, leisure centre, etc or any local walking trails, but we knew that when we booked. Couldn't get the Internet to connect but wasn't an issue as we brought our own portable router with us. Couldn't get Netflix to connect as someone else's email was signed into it and wouldn't let us remove it. Wasn't much of an issue either as we weren't there to watch TV.

Summary: Cosy wee stay in Balfron
