Comments from our Guestbook

We loved our stay at Craig and Alison’s cottage – a lovely place in such peaceful surroundings, in the perfect location for exploring in all directions around Loch Lomond. The cottage was very clean and modern, with the most amazing jacuzzi bath! The perfect base for our amazing staycation – would highly recommend!

Two ladies needing a well deserved retreat…..well, that’s exactly what we got !!

Craig & Alison , this place is so home from home.So relaxed and plenty to do if you go and look for it.

The loch is beautiful, lovely walks , out from morning till dusk.

You must visit Stirling, well worth a look.

Your cottage is so welcoming and warm.

Thank you both

Will be back, no doubts

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 !

Glenfruin Lodge

What a great time we’ve had! There has been great walks and views.

We recommend the Cattle & Creel in Helensburgh for great Steak, Mussels and Oysters.  Sadly Duck Bay is not what it was – the food was poor and I’d avoid it.

Very enjoyable week – the cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) was just right for our requirements and in such a peaceful and attractive area.  Very comfortable and cared for.

Plenty to see and do – Hill House should not be missed and Glenarn Gardens is unexpectedly impressive.  A short drive south and Geilston Garden and Balloch Country Park provide very enjoyable walks.  A drive around Loch Lomond presents several good walks and tea stops as does a tour around the peninsula (great wool shop!).  A challenge of a climb at Dumbarton Castle gives great rewards.

We found train travel to Glasgow easy and efficient and really enjoyed visits to museums eg. Kelvingrove, Transport and Life and the Tall Ship, also the Lighthouse.

Local bicycle paths are great for safe pedalling and walking – we know the other end of the John Muir trail quite well, plus his reputation and life in USA.

Thank you once again.

Best wishes, Michael & Joan Whatling

Many thanks for the use of this wonderful Cottage (Crosskeys cottage) for the 2 weeks, everything that you need for a home from home, couldn’t be better.

Would like the chance to stay again in the future, hoping for better weather.

Such a cosy & pretty cottage!  We based ourselves here and travelled to Ben Nevis, the Falkirk Wheel, Glasgow and of course Loch Lomond.  Every day brought more wonderful views and memories of our first holiday as a family.

Our (nearly) two year old twins have enjoyed exploring everywhere and we can’t wait to return!

Thank you for a lovely stay.

A very cosy cottage – wonderful large bed. Very well stocked and a spotlessly clean cottage.
Very easy to book,
Craig was very responsive.
Our two dogs were welcome.

What a brilliant location for exploring the surrounding region.  Definitely recommend the cruise at Luss to Inchcailloch, lovely walk steeped in history.

Thanks Alison, for a lovely, clean well equipped cosy cottage, absolutely perfect.

Linda & Paul, Manchester

15th – 22nd June 2019

We loved our time here.  The Lodge is a perfect spot, fully equipped for every need.  Weather was kind so did some great walks and bike riding, spoilt for choice.  Loved Ben Lomond, and Luss village is a great spot.

Had some great meals out, but if you want cheap & cheerful, Henry Bell (Weatherspoons) in Helensburgh is great – love the curry night on Thursdays.

Thank you and yes we will recommend!
