Fiona's apartment was perfect for our stay in the Loch Lomond area. It was a great launch point for various hikes, and the apartment had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at the Old Smiddy Apartment! Fiona was very welcoming, and the apartment was lovely, with everything we needed and beautifully decorated. The garden is absolutely gorgeous and well looked after, and I found the stream running through very relaxing too. It was a nice walk along the stream to shops, restaurants and shores.
