Beginning our journey outside of the property, many people stay in the Bonnie Banks as a result of its convenient location, which is not only a stone’s throw from Loch Lomond, but also a short distance from some of the best bars, restaurants, and shops in this area – not to mention Lunderston Bay and the Trossachs. Whilst no property’s boundaries could rival these tremendous surroundings, the Bonnie Banks does come close, with its undercover hot tub, BBQ, and bar area serving as the perfect place to unwind with a drink.
