Welcome to Crosskeys Loch Lomond

We have enjoyed our stay here in this lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage), despite the weather! It’s been very comfortable and has all we needed. We explored the area which is very beautiful and plenty to see and do.
Inveraray Castle is well worth a visit as was Hill House in Helensburgh and Luss Village.

Thank you for having us to share this super cottage.

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’

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.

Dear Craig & Alison,

We enjoyed the time in your cosy cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).  We’d never been to Scotland before so we looked forward to discovering the countryside.

Now we can say that we absolutely fell in love with the landscape, especially with Loch Lomond and Conic Hill.

We will certainly come back soon.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for having us, we’ve had a great week with some unbelievable weather!  Great for plenty of time in the great outdoors.  Ben Lomond and the Cobbler hills, both recommended.  The village of Balmaha was one of our favourite spots for some woodland strolls, rowing boats and ice cream.

Thank you for an enjoyable stay at Glenfruin Lodge.  The fine weather for most of the week was a bonus!

We visited so many places, memorable ones were:-

Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

The 3 Lochs Forest Trail

Inchcailoch Island (ferry from Luss)

Inveraray Castle, from where we climbed Dun ar Cuiache

Balloch Country Park

Duncryne Hill (“the dumpling”), fantastic views over Loch Lomond

Dumbarton Castle

The Falls of Falloch

We recommend Balloch House Hotel for a  sandwich lunch and Waitrose in Helensburgh for shopping.

The Lodge was a relaxing place to return each day to, and the superking size bed so comfortable…

OMG !!! I am so in love with this gorgeous cottage. We have had a brilliant week staying here, a few overcast days but mainly blue skies. Charlie , our Terrier has loved the walks especially Balloch Castle and along the beachfront in Helensburgh.
We have loved sitting on an evening just chilling and putting more logs on to the Log burner !!!

Thank you Alison & Craig for letting us stay in Crosskeys Cottage it was wonderful.  We had a fantastic week with great exploring in this part of Scotland.

Thank you very much for all, Nicole and Raphael, Switzerland

22nd – 28th June 2019

A week of bliss just chillin… hectic work life.  Glenfruin Lodge was lovely.  Would recommend ‘La Barca’ restaurant in Helensburgh for lunch, but plenty of eating options round about.

The coast drive through Rhu past the sea lochs is worth it.

Hope to come back, Mr & Mrs Aitken, Dalrympe, Ayrshire

We have been on the hunt for our perfect Loch Lomond hidey hole since we outgrew our last one after our daughter was born : -and I think we have found it.

Our stay in the Lodge has been incredible, cosey, idylic and family friendly!
I’d recommend the John Muir Way walk from Crosskeys to Balloch, simply stunning and no rambling !!

We cant wait to head back up and hopefully we get the chance to build more snowmen !

Grateful for our wonderful & generous hosts – Craig & Alison , the Tunnocks were lovely !
