Comments from our Guestbook

This was a surprise booking by my husband for my 30th birthday.  He out did himself.  The Lodge is lovely.  Our little daughter crawled all over the place, think she loved the under floor heating.

We got to see lots of lovely views of the Loch, a hidden little garden is Ardkinglas (left details in the basket) this is lovely for a gentle walk off the beaten track.

If it rains would recommend a trip up to Glencoe, even have a little Ski!

Lots of lovely places and we really enjoyed our holiday.

We will be back and will be recommending.

Thanks,

Loved our week here at Crosskeys.  The perfect location to come and relax.  We stayed in the Lodge, and having the wood burning stove added to the romantic evenings!

The accommodation standard was higher than we expected, clean and modern.  The ideal location to be as busy or as relaxed as you like.  Alison & Craig made us feel welcome.

Thank you.

This was our first time visiting Scotland but it definitely won’t be the last!  We arrived at Glenfruin lodge after a 6.5 hour drive and instantly felt at home.

The Lodge is spacious yet cosy with everything we needed for our week-long stay.  The bed is wonderfully comfortable, kitchen well stocked and the HUGE whirlpool bath and log burner were God sends after a long day out in the Scottish Highlands!

During our stay we visited:

– Bird of Prey Centre at Balloch – great value and very interesting.

– Sweeney’s Cruises for a 1 hour cruise of Loch Lomond.

– RSPB nature reserve at Gartocharn (lovely walk).

– Lodge Visitors Centre at Aberfoyle for wonderful Red Squirrel viewing.

– Ben Lomond – still can’t believe we climbed an actual mountain! Amazing experience & breathtaking views.

We also treated ourselves to fish & chips from the ‘Wee Kelpie’ in Helensburgh (delicious) and splashed out on the 8 course tasting menu at the Michelin star ‘Martin Wishart’ restaurant at Cameron House (amazing for us foodies!).

All in all our first visit to this beautiful country has been unforgettable – we are already planning to come back next year!  Glenfruin Lodge will definitely be our 1st choice of accommodation.
