Welcome to Crosskeys Loch Lomond

This is a real gem ideally situated for access to both city and country.  We found it easy to travel to Glasgow city centre by way of the excellent train service from Balloch and the numerous sea lochs in the area are really worth exploring.

My fire lighting and fire stoking skills have really improved and we hope to invest in a wood burning stove in our own home within the very near future.

A lovely stay as always in Glenfruin Lodge.  This year we went to 3 Highland Games, a treat if you want something different.

Glasgow Museum and Botanical Gardens also well worth a visit as it Stirling Castle.

A mixed bag of weather but never a problem as plenty to see and do.  Also a lovely cottage to return to at the end of the day.

Will be back next year.

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 !

We have had an amazing time at Crosskeys.  The Cottage is very cosy and comfortable and very well equipped.

It has been the perfect base for exploring this beautiful place.

We had a truly awesome road trip to Inverness on Tuesday, taking in the breath taking scenery of Glen Coe, Loch Ness and the many other sights the drive provided.

Afternoon tea at the Winnock Hotel in Drymen was delicious, followed by a drive to Balmaha.  We found The Riverside Museum and the Tall Ship in Glasgow a real fascinating experience, also The People’s Palace, Glasgow Cathedral and surrounding architecture, well worth a visit.

Thanks for a perfect holiday,

Christine and Mark.

Dear Craig & Alison,

We have had a fantastic week here in your lovely cottage.  Yogi (our black labrador) really enjoyed himself especially in the snow which was great.  We’ve done loads of walking, will be good to have a rest!  Would recommend to friends and family.

We have had a fantastic stay at Glenfruin Lodge.  Absolutely everything has been thought of to make it a comfortable stay.

The location is excellent for exploring.  A big thank you to Craig and Alison for the gifts & card under the beautifully decorated christmas tree – a lovely touch.  Perfection at its finest

What a lovely week we’ve had! Crosskeys Cottage is delightful, comfortable and a well-equipped cottage, so convenient for the loch.

Luss is lovely – and a great swim spot – I’ve really enjoyed the surprisingly warm water.

We visited the magnificent Kelpies (nr Grangemouth) and the impressive Stirling Castle, looked over the Falls of Falloch and walked through the woodlands at Crianlarich. The cruise around the loch was lovely, and the short walk along the West Highland Way from Balmaha to Milarochy was glorious – with a sunny swim from one of the beaches there. We’ve had fantastic weather and the view from Beinn Dubh (Luss) was worth the aching legs!!

Balloch Castle Park is also worth walking round, with coffee and cake from the slipway kiosk.

Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage.

“Fabulous, low-key, but characterful charm. The owners were right next door, never in our space but reassuringly there. They were relaxed about us having a dog, but we would always be respectful when in other people’s property. Loch Lomond is on the doorstep with all that amazing beauty. But special for me was seeing the Charles Rennie Macintosh’s designed house….Hill House on the outskirts of Helensburgh. All in all l would not hesitate in recommending this property to any of our nearest and dearest. Thankyou Alison for looking after us.”
