    When booking needs to highlight apartment is on the first floor with double stairs.. A little information would be nice on arrival all heating was off, and was freezing, it took a while to find the boiler and switch on heating.. when I did find it I had to top up the pressure, I was lucky I knew how to do it but somebody else may not, so a little welcome pack would solve this along with checking out procedures etc Tv in bedroom didn’t work and although WiFi code left it wasn’t working. Nothing major but owner should be aware 😀

    Great location plenty of room lovely view all your needs met as in facilities.

    The only issue we had it is a bit noisy, but we got use to it after the 1st night spent in the flat

    The location is great to all shops and takeaways / restaurants

    The curtains in the main bedroom let in too much light. The main door downstairs leading onto the street needs replacing.

    Loved the location, the Lookout was clean and welcoming and there were plenty of essentials. The hosts were quick to answer my questions and the apartment was toastie.

    The shared door / hallway into the apartment was a bit of an unpleasant surprise (it even smelled like fish from the shop next door). Once we got past it, the apartment was lovely.

    Dean is an A+ host - friendly and communicative. The apartment was in a great location right in town, and was clean and comfortable, with lots of nice natural light. It was well-furnished, and stocked with personal touches like a shelf of books, and tea in the cupboard.

    A comfortable, spacious and characterful property in an ideal, central location in Helensburgh, with free parking just a short walk away. Loved the open views across the Firth of Clyde!

    The curtains in both bedrooms were very thin/light coloured and so the rooms were light throughout the night, in particular the room at the front of the property due to streetlights. It wasn't a massive issue for us but may be for light sleepers. The curtains in the living room were dark so the same in the rooms would be great.

    Friendly and helpful host. Great facilities including being provided with a high chair and cot on request. Spacious enough rooms for a family of 4 (2 adults, 1 baby and 1 toddler). Close to nice restaurants.

    A comfortable apartment with amazing views over the Firth of Clyde.

    The apartment was located over two fish and chip shops and was adjacent to two busy bars. The aroma of cooking oil/fat was oppressive and the attendees at the bars noisy and drunk. I do not like induction cooking being used to gas: others might find it convenient but I do not.

    The location and the view: the apartment is well-named as the view over the Firth of Clyde was outstanding: but, and not the apartment's fault, the view was visible about half the time! Constant rain and mist obscured it. The location on the front at Helensburgh allowed us access to Loch Lomond, and a visit to our estate, all one square foot of it, at Dunans Castle. It was also close to Helensburgh Rail Station so we rode into Glasgow very cheaply and conveniently. Free parking at the local leisure centre also helped.

    I was a bit put off by the front entrance next to a fish and chip shop, but once you got up the stairs it was fine. We were there for the weekend and it was a little noisy but not too bad.

    Right in the centre of Helensburgh. Very comfortable and well equipped. Lovely looking out at the sea, and being able to buy food and sit on the front just at our door step. Great having a washing machine and a nice bath. Lots of bits and pieces of condiments etc for us to use.
