Glen Fruin is a delightful cottage, anything that we could need had already been thought of.
The views and local areas were stunning and the cottage was perfectly located.
We’ve had a very peaceful visit and would absolutely come again.
It surpassed all expectations.

Thank you,

Dear Alison, Craig & Shadow…

Thank you for an amazing place to stay while we explored the beautiful west coast.

I am from Balloch but my partner is a London boy, so it was lovely to have the Lodge so close to everything yet peaceful & remote.

Can’t believe you can’t hear the road from the garden…  Shadow popped by a few times, especially when he realised we had ham in the fridge!

We will certainly be back.

Thankyou for a delightful stay in your lovely house.  The ‘Lodge’ was perfect, homely, clean and a great base for exploring the lochs.  We have been blessed by glorious weather.  What a lovely location for a cottage.

Kind regards,

What a wonderful week in a beautiful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) and stunning surroundings.  Thank you so much for your hospitality.  We thoroughly enjoyed watching the log burner of an evening and the whirlpool bath was a real treat too!

William and Maria had a fabulous time in the snow, building snowmen and sledging – a week of perfect weather and a brilliant base from which to explore this wonderful area!  Our favourite spots from the week include; sledging in Glencoe, walking the history trail on Ben Lomond, visiting Stirling Castle, finding waterfalls at Falloch and Queen Elizabeth Forest Park too – so many amazing experiences for us and our children.

Thank you once again and we look forward to another visit again soon!

This was our first time visiting Scotland but it definitely won’t be the last!  We arrived at Glenfruin lodge after a 6.5 hour drive and instantly felt at home.

The Lodge is spacious yet cosy with everything we needed for our week-long stay.  The bed is wonderfully comfortable, kitchen well stocked and the HUGE whirlpool bath and log burner were God sends after a long day out in the Scottish Highlands!

During our stay we visited:

– Bird of Prey Centre at Balloch – great value and very interesting.

– Sweeney’s Cruises for a 1 hour cruise of Loch Lomond.

– RSPB nature reserve at Gartocharn (lovely walk).

– Lodge Visitors Centre at Aberfoyle for wonderful Red Squirrel viewing.

– Ben Lomond – still can’t believe we climbed an actual mountain! Amazing experience & breathtaking views.

We also treated ourselves to fish & chips from the ‘Wee Kelpie’ in Helensburgh (delicious) and splashed out on the 8 course tasting menu at the Michelin star ‘Martin Wishart’ restaurant at Cameron House (amazing for us foodies!).

All in all our first visit to this beautiful country has been unforgettable – we are already planning to come back next year!  Glenfruin Lodge will definitely be our 1st choice of accommodation.

Thank you Alison & Craig for a really wonderful stay at Crosskeys cottage. This wee cottage was perfect, very well equipped and very comfortable. We had wonderful weather all week and couldn’t have wished for a better part of the world to stay in.

Thanks to your tips Alison, we went to Luss, Loch Katerine, Oban, Loch Awe and Conic Hill (love a smaller walk with great views!). The dog loved the outdoor space too.

Best of luck with all the summer ahead and hopefully see you again!
