Comments from our Guestbook

We had a warm welcome when we arrived in the pouring rain at Crosskeys.

Once inside the Cottage we picked up where we had left off a year ago, everything was first class once again.

Brilliant weather on the Sunday temp 14c sunny dawn till dusk.

On the Tuesday a very pleasant surprise a large dear in the shrubs on the left of the green hut,munching away on the low vegetation. Stirling a lovely town to visit, used the train from Helensburgh to Glasgow Queen St Station, excellent shopping 200 yards from the station all the big stores at £7.00 return per person.

This was a most welcome break so much to do if you hunt around even in November.

We have had a fantastic stay at Glenfruin Lodge.  Absolutely everything has been thought of to make it a comfortable stay.

The location is excellent for exploring.  A big thank you to Craig and Alison for the gifts & card under the beautifully decorated christmas tree – a lovely touch.  Perfection at its finest

A lovely wild & frosty week with a dusting of snow. Lots of lovely (steep!) walks and good lunches.
Walked the hills above Luss, beautiful views, hill behind Helensburgh, muddy but superb views when we got there. Highlight was a walk up to the Folly from Inveraray Castle, lovely views over Loch Fyne and we loved Inveraray. Had a great lunch in Brambles Cafe in the main street as they take dogs.

Thank you for a great week.

Dear Craig & Alison,

We have had a fantastic week here in your lovely cottage.  Yogi (our black labrador) really enjoyed himself especially in the snow which was great.  We’ve done loads of walking, will be good to have a rest!  Would recommend to friends and family.

Thank you for a cosy stay in the Crosskeys Cottage.  We loved coming back and getting cosy in front of the log burner.

Whilst we were here, we visited Balloch, Luss, which were very nice places to visit and see Loch Lomond.  We also visited the Isle of Mull on a ferry from Oban and visited Tobermory (Highly recommended).

Thank you again for our stay and we will be back in the future.
