The Sheildaig Farm is the perfect homestay in the hills of Balloch surrounded by stunning nature. Located up a winding path, easy to get to by car/ taxi or a walk , you are in the midst of pure natural beauty. Enjoy the open skies, benches to sit outside with your coffee, a delicious breakfast by the host, well stocked up kitchenette with milk, sugar, coffee, cereal, bread, juice, biscuits, etc. Walk to the Balloch castle and back or take a cab to the Marina Duck Bay Restaurant on Loch Lomond or the balloch House. Take a cab to Luss which is only 15 minutes away and enjoy this thoroughly picturesque, safe and comfortable home.

The setting was absolutely lovely. We weren’t expecting the amount of food that Lesley provided, so we stopped on the way for supplies. We didn’t need any of it! Tea, coffee, orange juice & milk, all topped up if we needed. The same with bread & cereals. We were offered a great selection of hot breakfasts too, complete with a cafetière of good coffee. Really good decor, with a very comfortable bed. Modern, nicely decorated bathroom, with the softest towels I’ve ever come across. Some good, welcoming touches, with a little dish of sweeties on the table & Tunnochs tea cakes & wafers waiting for us in the cupboard too. Pretty much everything we needed was provided. Loved the dogs too ☺️

Nothing.

We stayed 2 nights at Sheildaig Farm, when exploring the area around Loch Lomond. The host was very friendly and we felt absolutely welcome. A delicious breakfast was brought directly to our room, which we enjoyed a lot. We were excited about the provided heater, which you can use reliably 24/7, so we were never cold, but warm and cozy. We enjoyed our stay and do absolutely recommend this Bed & Breakfast.

You should probably be aware of the truely bumpy path up to the property. There are lots of potholes.

The property in general is situated in a beautiful area. Our room was spotless and well organized. Lesley is extremely welcoming, helpful and accommodating. Very abundant and delicious breakfast freshly made every morning, brought to us straight to our room at our requested time - 3 meals available including a vegetarian option. Cupboards filled with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, snacks, biscuits, sweet treats, fresh orange juice and milk - which were re-stocked every day. Beautiful adjacent field where you can explore and enjoy views of the loch - got to see a deer too! Certainly exceeded our expectations!

Exceptional hospitality in an idyllic location close to Loch Lomond and convenient for a stop off if travelling further north, which we were. The full Scottish breakfast was outstanding (notable mention to the Haggis and Black pudding!). There were lots of other special touches like Scottish treats which set this apart from others. Would definitely return and stay longer next next time as it was a quick stop off on this occasion.

Absolutely nothing. It was just perfect

We liked how Hospitable the hosts were. Located in a beautiful farmhouse setting. Its great its within a centralised location to local areas As its a family home, as well as a B&B it has a homely feel and doesn’t feel you are in a business/Hotel/guest house- definitely felt like a special guest to their home. - fantastic facilities within room space (Table, fridge, microwave, cupboard space, toaster, TV, Hair dryer etc) - the dogs were wonderful - the hot breakfasts served at our room were delightful

- The bumpy potholed country road up to farmhouse - plumbing/water supply is sensitive when it comes to the toilet.

The road up was a bit bumpy, but we were welcomed by a very nice dog ;-) and the host was very friendly. The place is very nice and calm. The room was classy, clean and the bed and shower were very good! The breakfast we ate at the picknick table in the sun was very delicious. If we come back to Scotland and are in the area looking for a place to stay, we definitevly go here.

The breakfast was so divers it probably wouldnt fit on the table in the room.

What a wonderful bed and breakfast. Certainly one of the best I’ve stayed in across the country. The place is beautiful, rooms spotless and very well presented. Lesley is an amazing host, very welcoming. The breakfast provided by Lesley is out of this world many options, and delivered to your room fresh in the morning along with a freshly made pot of coffee! The accommodation is 5 minute drive from the bars and restaurants of Balloch, therefore very well situated indeed. I can’t recommend this place highly enough and will certainly be back!

Everything met our expectations!

Friendly and helpful owner and staff. Responded quickly to my messages. Nicely converted farm building. Good breakfast and plenty of snacks and treats provided.

I know it is a farm lane and it has been a very wet winter, but the approach is along a very pot-holed lane which makes access difficult. Fortunately we had a reasonably high car so did not risk grounding. This would make me reluctant to recommend unless this is improved.

We could not have asked for more! Sheildaig Farm was absolutely perfect. Our room was so well-appointed, from the breakfast/coffee/tea/snack provisions (which supplemented the cooked breakfast) with fresh fruit and chocolate to the little fan for some extra air movement to the little hotel slippers. Comfortable true king bed. Lesley and the precious pups Ellie and Penny were so welcoming and friendly. Gorgeous adjoining field for walking and taking in loch views. The property is absolutely idyllic.

Leaving ... That's about it
