Comments from our Guestbook

Thank you Alison & Craig for another friendly welcome & a wonderful stay in cosy Crosskeys cottage.

We mostly dodged the rain to enjoy a few sections of the West Highland Way at a leisurely pace, making the most of the sunny spells we got!

There is nowhere better to retreat to than here, we enjoyed the spa bath, and a cosy place to read books and play board games.

Hope to see you again soon,

Thank you Alison & Craig for your warm welcome to your beautiful cottage. We loved the way you have refurbished it, so sympathetically. So tastefully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. It was an ideal base for us to visit family and my husband’s childhood haunts. We enjoyed the Antartex Village in Alexandria.
Unfortunately the weather hasn’t been good but we made the best of it.

Thank you again,

Lovely, chilled week. Very nice cottage (Glenfruin Cottage/Lodge) in a peaceful location. Thanks for making it so homely.

We enjoyed spending time on Loch Lomond, climbing Ben Lomond and visiting the Isle of Bute.

Thanks!

Thank you Alison and Craig for a wonderful stay in Glenfruin Lodge. It was so cosy and comfortable with everything we needed to make our stay special. We enjoyed our trips to Oban, Inverary and Balloch with a special mention to Auchindrian (historical scottish hamlet) – well worth a visit.

Thank you so much!

Had a wonderful stay in this cosy, comfortable (Crosskeys) cottage.  A perfect base to access all around Loch Lomond.  We enjoyed visiting/walking in lots of new places – Balloch Country park, Luss, Glen Branter, Doon Hill Fairy Walk in Aberfoyle, the Waterfall at Bracklinn Falls and Glen Fruin.  If walking in Glen Branter we would recommend following the ‘yellow route’ to see the waterfalls.  Our dog ‘Flo’ (Beagle/Jack cross) had a great time exploring!

There is so much we haven’t managed to do that we would love to come back and would definitely keep this cottage in mind.

Thank you!

My partner brought me here for a treat, for my Birthday and I could not have asked for a more perfect present.
We have loved staying in this Cottage. The Cottage is well kept, the bed is unbelievably comfy and the view is incredible. We have loved exploring and having such a gorgeous warm and comforting house to come home to.

Thank you for having us !!!

There is not a single negative thing to say about our stay – We have LOVED our time in the Crosskeys Cottage so much, we are so sad to be leaving! The decor is so lovely and homey, the bed is especially comfy and some of the best sleep we have had for a while!

It’s been the perfect spot for all our exploring around the Lochs and mountains and the cosiest place to return to after a hiking day!

Our boy Jango (dog) has also loved it here and made himself at home, we think he is sadder than us to leave!

Thank you for a perfect stay!

Had a lovely holiday.  This cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) was very sweet and perfect for our needs.  Fire is fantastic, kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed.  Disappointed we didn’t meet the cat though!

Recommend checking out the Sugar Boat (restaurant) in Helensburgh – absolutely amazing food, fantastic cocktails & lovely staff.

October 2017

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.
