Comments from our Guestbook

Having lived for several years in an old (and cold) farm cottage in this area, we can appreciate the effort that must have gone into making Crosskeys Cottage the lovely wee house it now is.  A great base for visiting old friends.

Thank you Craig & Alison for a great stay at the beautiful Glenfruin Lodge.

Everything was perfect for recuperation and relaxation after our stressful previous week.

Perfect central location for anyone visiting this part of Scotland.

Spotted the robin and eagle from the patio doors, but sorry not to meet Shaddow (your cat) who seems from previous comments to be quite a star….! maybe next time as I’m sure we’ll be back.

Really enjoyed our stay in the Lodge, which is very comfortable.

The scenery is fantastic and the walk along the ‘loop’ can be recommended, all set off with the very best of Scottish Weather.

Thank you!

A wonderful stay at Crosskeys Cottage.  Cosy & warm, a great home away from home from which we could base our adventures.

Day 1 – A climb up Ben Lomond was worth the beautiful views, with the added bonus of snow, it was truly magical.

Day 2 – We didn’t see the ‘fairies’ at Doon Hill but a lovely walk nethertheless, we believe they watched us on route.  Followed by a stunning view of the Bracklin falls in Callander.

Day 3 – A walk round the beautiful town of Luss, shorter easier walks but great views of the Loch from Beinn Dubh, and around the woodland.  Great dog friendly eateries at the ‘Village visit’ in Luss and the evening at the Drovers Inn for fun & live music.

We can’t wait to come again to explore more around Loch Lomond.  Thank you for a relaxing stay.

Thank you so much Craig for welcoming us so spontaneously and warmly. glenfruin lodge is absolutely magical. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. Wiebke and Gregor
