Comments from our Guestbook

Lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) in a lovely area.  Some very nice restaurants in Helensburgh – Masala Twist, for me the best Nan ever, La Barca for authentic Spanish tapas and the Wee Kelpie for wonderful fish & chips!

Had a trip on the West Highland Railway to Oban which was very spectacular as was the return by bus due to the Scotrail strike!  Had trips to Luss & Balloch on Loch Lomond and enjoyed a visit to the Hill House.

Very enjoyable.

There is not a single negative thing to say about our stay – We have LOVED our time in the Crosskeys Cottage so much, we are so sad to be leaving! The decor is so lovely and homey, the bed is especially comfy and some of the best sleep we have had for a while!

It’s been the perfect spot for all our exploring around the Lochs and mountains and the cosiest place to return to after a hiking day!

Our boy Jango (dog) has also loved it here and made himself at home, we think he is sadder than us to leave!

Thank you for a perfect stay!

How lucky we were to have chosen Glenfruin Lodge!  It was our first visit to Scotland but certainly not the last.

Enjoyed very much walking right behind the house in the direction of Garelochead – although we took a turn to the left and ended up at the Marina in Rhu (nice little Café!).  The Glen Loin Loop starting at Arrochar was great, the view from Benn Dubh (from Luss) worth all the tears I cried while climbing up it.. and Loch Katrine’s shore way for a bicycle ride was fantastic.

Thanks to Alison & Craig for this lovely cottage.  We’ll certainly be back one day.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay.
The Cottage is so cozy and clean, had everything we needed.
We were very comfy and Candy & Bramble loved lounging in front of the wood burner.
We were lucky to get some sunshine and to get out for some great walks too.

Thank you

Our wee family came to Crosskeys Cottage for a birthday weekend and a wee retreat from our busy lives.
What we found when we arrived was a beautiful environment and a wonderful experience. Our stay has been faultless, Rupert has loved his time here and he will certainly miss all the smells, leaves, rocks and sticks !!
He has made loads of friends around the Loch.

Thank you for allowing us to stay, I am sure we will be back again !

Helensburgh very nice with good shops and a good Sunday dinner at the Commodore Hotel.

Beautiful scenic rides out, bluebells everywhere !!  Benmore Garden and Dunoon well worth a visit.

Thank you for letting us stay in your amazing Cottage, it really has been lovely.
The log burner has been great and the Cottage has been lovely and warm in this harsh frost.
The bath is superb and the bed super comfy. The walk over the hill just up the road had spectacular views,
we have had a great time and would love to stay again.

Thank you from Jamie, Hannah and Brook & Rupert woof !!
