Overview

Set in the heart of Clyde coast resort Helensburgh's leafy conservation area, Balmillig is conveniently close to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park yet just 30 minutes from Glasgow International Airport.
Charles Rennie Macintosh's world famous Hill House and Faslane Naval Base are both nearby.
Balmillig is ideally placed for walkers exploring Scotland's new long distance path - The Three Lochs Way.
After a long day travelling, sightseeing, walking, wildlife spotting, golfing or shopping, come home to a relaxing tea or coffee among the greenery of Balmillig's comfortable conservatory.
