Balmillig House
About
Balmillig B&B, tucked in the heart of the seaside town of Helensburgh, offers a quintessential Scottish escape by the edge of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The lodge is home to John and Anne Urquhart, who serve a range of warm, homemade breakfasts featuring local produce, fair‑trade coffee, and freshly‑made marmalade. Each of the three elegantly appointed ensuite rooms—the Yellow, Green and Blue—boasts a king‑size or super‑king bed, in‑room shower, free Wi‑Fi, and sweeping views over private gardens, a wildlife pond and the surrounding hills. Guests enjoy free off‑street parking, an indoor conservatory, an electric car charger and energy‑efficient heating courtesy of the B&B’s solar tiles and heat pump. Daytime visitors can explore the lush gardens, stroll along the nearby promenade or use the concierge service to arrange guided walks and mountain hikes with the daughter‑run Loch Lomond Guides. The property’s proximity to Helensburgh’s Central and Upper stations makes it a convenient base for short day‑trips to Glasgow, the West Highland Line or a cruise on the historic PS Waverley. Whether you’re after a quiet romantic getaway, a family retreat in a green setting, or a launchpad for walks on the John Muir Way and the Three Lochs Way, Balmillig B&B delivers a relaxed, hospitality‑rich experience that feels like home away from home.
