Comments from our Guestbook

Lovely cottage (Crosskeys cottage), great views – shame there wasn’t more sun.  However, we did get out to Stirling, Oban and especially the lovely park in Balloch. Plenty of walks suitable for dogs & people alike.

Many thanks, Pam & Ray Green and ‘Bella’

The Cottage is as comfortable as it is picturesque. All the amenities you could ask for, plus some extra thoughtful touches. A great base from which to explore the surrounding area, and cosy enough to enjoy a night in with the fire a book or some tv.

Our second visit back to this Cottage, and the perfect place for a cosy night in to bring in the ew Year !
This time , accompanied by our 3 year old and a dog, we still found the Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed.
We highly reccommend the “Loch Lomond Faerie Trail” in Luss Village for anyone with children beautiful trail with things to look out for
and to find the Faeries treasure !

Thank you Craig & Alison for our perfect getaway !!
See you again, Hayley, Jon, Fearne & Arnie (woof)

Thank you for a  lovely stay!  Very relaxing!  Such a well appointed and equipped cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  Central to everything.

Walks included Ben Lomond and The Cobbler.  Unfortunately mixed weather prevented more exploration on foot!  Toured the Trossachs and also visited Glasgow for the day.  Very convenient park and ride at Kelvinbridge Car park which is close to some galleries and museums.

Local visits included The Hill House, Geilston Gardens, a cruise on Loch Lomond, Luss, Arrochar.  Lots of things to do and see in such an idyllic setting.

Really enjoyed our weeks stay at your beautiful Crosskeys Cottage celebrating my birthday.
Everything you need is provided, fab spa bath and large bedroom in which the bed is so comfy!
Felt so cosy staying here, and sad to leave.

Craig & Alison lovely to meet you briefly when we arrived, nice seating area on the side that catches the sun.
We’ve had brill days out everyday and lots of walking, Spencer the boxer has loved his holiday too.

Thanks again Craig & Alison, you have a beautiful place.

Crosskeys Cottage is a fantastic, cosy little home from home, very comfortable and well placed for lots of adventures out.  Our highlight was Hill House in Helensburgh, but I expect most people come here for the scenery which is AMAZING!  It was only a short passing through 2 day stay, but very enjoyable.

Every time we come to Scotland I take a little piece home with me, we’ll be back for sure!

Thank you so much Craig & Alison, for a lovely stay at Crosskeys Cottage. It is really very cosy, beautifully equipped and decor natural. The Cottage is ideally situated for getting around and we have really enjoyed our stay despite rain showers most of the week. Everything you need to feel at home – we are so relaxed.

Your countryside is marvelous. We loved Hill House in Helensburgh, Conic Hill at Balmaha, Inversnaid waterfall, Luss Village, Inverary Castle, three sisters of Glencoe, the West Highland Railway line and Portencross & Largs.

Best Wishes

Glenfruin Lodge unexpectedly became the place we both had to recuperate from being unwell. Sadly this meant we didn’t get to explore as much as hoped locally, but it did mean we took advantage of everything the cottage offered, which was everything we needed.
The garden and cottage between them are perfect and meant we still really enjoyed our stay. This, with Craig’s cheery disposition made a big difference to our stay.

Thanks for everything, Karen & Graham, Sydney, Australia
