Comments from our Guestbook

Having taken a couple of overnight stops to get here, we were really pleased to arrive at this lovely cottage, and have a warm welcome.  There is so much to see and do that we will have to come back and would happily stay at Crosskeys again!

We intended to spend one day in Glasgow but with so many places to visit (particularly as big Charles Rennie Mackintosh fan!) we had to go back for a second day.  Recommend the sight seeing tour and take the train in – it is quick and good value.  Inveraray is worth a visit, lovely small town and the castle is impressive.  Oban is also worth a visit and Genfinnan monument.

All in all we had a great week here!

A lovely stay again in this wonderful cottage (Glenfuin Cottage), all thanks to Alison and Craig.
Went to Glasgow to the Transport Museum and Burrell Collection. Both well worth a visit.
A trip to Edinburgh Botanic Gardens also well worth the visit.
A must have trip to the Oban Fish & Chip Shop, 116 George Street for the best place to eat in fish and chips.
Inverary is also worth visiting. A trip round the peninsular from Helsnburgh is good if the weather is being kind or a wander round the glen.

Looking forward to next year.

Beautiful cottage that was really tastefully decorated and the log burner was a real highlight. Really cosy and lovely to relax in, great bath as well! Conveniently located with short drives to beautiful hikes and also Helensburgh had some great restaurants too. We had an absolutely fantastic week and would definitely come again. Also about 1.5 hours from Glencoe and Ben Nevis which were also highlights.

19th – 26th March 2023

We have really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, comfortable cottage (Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage), which had everything we needed for a care free holiday. It is perfectly positioned for exploring – a super walk in Balloch Country Park and a sail on Loch Lomond, exploring the scenic routes down to Dunoon (great views at ‘Rest and be thankful’) and the absolutely stunning Hill House in Helensburgh.

Thank you for your hospitality!

As soon as we entered the Lodge we felt at home.
This place was immaculate, smelt very fresh and homely. The hosts are lovely, there if you need anything,
which we didn’t as they had thought of everything !!
We went on a 2 hour boat trip on Loch Lomond, very informative, went to Edinburgh by train.
Helensburgh, Balloch, Luss and Inveraray (Jail worth a visit).

Thank you for a relaxing week !!

Such a cosy & pretty cottage!  We based ourselves here and travelled to Ben Nevis, the Falkirk Wheel, Glasgow and of course Loch Lomond.  Every day brought more wonderful views and memories of our first holiday as a family.

Our (nearly) two year old twins have enjoyed exploring everywhere and we can’t wait to return!

Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely time here at Crosskeys in Glenfruin Lodge and were made to feel very welcome.  The Lodge was very modern and ideal for a week’s stay.  The whirlpool bath was an added bonus.

We visited Stirling and Glasgow (train from Balloch) as well as taking a boat trip on nearby Loch Lomond.
