Reviews for Woodvale B&B
Review 1：Superb B&B. Alison runs this with warmth, charm and effortless ability. Great attention to detail, an accommodating nature and she cooks the best B&B full breakfast I've ever had. Thoroughly recommended.
Review 2：We stayed at the B&B for two nights. Alison was extremely nice and made us feel comfortable straight away. She gave us lots of good advice on what to do in the area and could not do enough to help us ! As we were going hiking she even lent us walking sticks and gave us tea to bring in a thermos. The room was very clean and comfortable, especially the bedlinen. The breakfast was excellent as well and very well organized. Thanks for everything Alison and we hope we will come back !
Review 3：A very enjoyable and comfortable place to stay. Friendly staff bent over backwards to help us - from doing the laundry to helping us get a flat tyre fixed locally without being overcharged.

Review 19：Very happy with our stay. Friendly helpful owner of a well presented and well equipped B&B.

Review 20：Not a bad thing to say, all good!
Review 21：Alison was really friendly and gave us advice on the best walks. The guest house is ideally located...and the breakfast was gorgeous!

Review 24：That we didn't stay any more nights.
Review 25：The location was easy to get to from the train station, even with a buggy and luggage. The house was quaint, the room was very nice,the breakfast was excellent and the host was so charming and helpful.
Review 26：Very small attic bedroom at the top of a very steep staircase. Advertised as having a private bathroom on landing. The landing was down the steep stairs and though the hallway into the main part of the house. Hard to negotiate at 2am in your pyjamas. Room not suitable for solo senior travellers. It seems solo travellers are given accommodation suitable for children.

Review 32：Can't think of anything I didn't like
Review 33：Everything was clean and tidy. I could have no complaints about the bed or any of the facilities. The breakfast was very tasty - we had a full Scottish and there was plenty of cereal and fresh fruit. The location of the B&B is perfect, just a short walk away from Loch Lomond and Balloch Country Park. There is a supermarket nearby and the cafes and restaurants are in easy reach. Alison the landlady is very cheery and welcoming, and saw to our every need.

Review 51：Alison is a great host who is very welcoming, knows all about the local area and gets your stay off to an excellent start. The B&B itself is in the perfect location, minutes from the Loch with all local amenities within walking distance. The breakfast is also top class! A superb choice.
Review 52：Alison was a great host. I picked this place due to the reviews about Alison's hospitality and I was not let down. The fact that she made us feel at home and customized our breakfast based on our likes and dislikes was amazing. We stayed in the attic of this quaint house and it was amazing. Sitting in the lawns in the evening, enjoying the walks to the town center was wonderful. It's 5 minutes from the center which is great and the location is quiet and calm. With young kids you need a quite place hence this was ideal. Would most definitely visit again if the opportunity arises
Review 53：This b&b is very well-located, within walking distance of bars and restaurants as well as the train station. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was generous and delicious. Our host, Alison, was so friendly and welcoming, offering us plenty of advice as well as the loan of walking equipment.
Review 54：Noisy on the very morning we were there, because a group of people were leaving early (and our room was at ground floor) ... bad luck.

Review 56：it was beautifull, the house was near to everyplace that we wanted to visit. the weather was good. the room was comfortable and breakfast plenty good. Allison is a very kind person who is always smiling and trying to help you. We want to give special grettings to Amber, the most wonderfull Border Collie we have ever seen. We are sure we`ll come back. Candel's family
