Comments from our Guestbook

Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay.  Can highly recommend Inchcailloch Island as a visit for a forest walk.

We agree the cottage is a perfect base for exploring.  Excellent provision for visitors – and the dog! (in Crosskeys Cottage).

Thank you very much, we have really enjoyed our stay in your cottage.

The Cottage is delightful, with lots of lovely touches.  Everything is to hand and nothing has been left out (even poo bags for the dogs!).  The surrounding area is fantastic with stunning views around every corner.

We will be back again as soon as possible.

The stay in this nice Cottage of Craig and Alison’s was our “round up” of our Scotland holiday.

The cottage was located perfect for nature viewing and city viewing as well.  During our stay we visited Glasgow and Edinburgh and we also id walking in the Loch Lomond area.

Scotland is a great country and the place here at Crosskeys is great too.

No doubt that we will recommend Craig and Alison’s place to other German families who also plan to visit Scotland.

Many thanks for the stay and looking forward to meeting you again…. sometime…

We have had a lovely stay in Crosskeys Cottage with our wee furry chum.
Did not need to use the woodburning stove as it was so cosy.

Lovely facilities and so convieniant for local attractions.
A pleasure to stay here.

We’ve had a lovely time here – both exploring the area, and staying in by the fire and watching films.  This is such a lovely and comfortable cottage (Crosskeys) – feels like a home away from home.  You’ve provided everything we needed – including some gifts under the tree! We feel very welcomed.

We’ve managed to pack our few days full – a lovely, frosty walk in Arrochar (No. 15 in the book provided – definitely recommend!) followed by an accidental (but no less enjoyable) trip to Stirling to see the castle.

Today we went to Dumbarton Castle, then on to the Glengoyne Distillery – another definite! Followed by a stunning drive along the loch.

Thank you for such a lovely stay, I will definitely recommend you to friends and family, and will hope to be back to explore some more!

Thank you!

We have enjoyed our time in Crosskeys.  The Cottage is full of character and history and the poor weather has meant we have spent more time than we would have liked indoors.  Having said that we manage to visit Balloch Castle Country Park, take a walk around the village of Luss and visit Helensburgh for shopping.  It has been a pleasure to see a different part of Scotland and we are now off to Skye for a week hoping the weather is kinder.

As soon as we entered the Lodge we felt at home.
This place was immaculate, smelt very fresh and homely. The hosts are lovely, there if you need anything,
which we didn’t as they had thought of everything !!
We went on a 2 hour boat trip on Loch Lomond, very informative, went to Edinburgh by train.
Helensburgh, Balloch, Luss and Inveraray (Jail worth a visit).

Thank you for a relaxing week !!

When we arrived at the cottage we thought it was lovely of you Alison to come and introduce yourself and have a chat, thank you.

We have loved staying in your cosy and homely cottage.

During our stay we have visited a few places, done a few activities and eaten out, the scenery is amazing.

We have felt very comfortable and relaxed in the cottage. We are sad to leave but life goes on back home in Leeds.

Thank you and we would highly recommend your cottage.
