Comments from our Guestbook

Thank you for your hospitality !
Crosskeys Holiday Cottage is a great place to spend time away from the noise of day to day life.
Was really cool during July’s heatwave, great bed, (and i usually struggle to sleep in new places)
We hope to come back.

Just had a fantastic week here at Glenfruin Lodge.  The cottage was perfect and a real bonus with the whirlpool bath.

Great location for getting out and about the area.  Hope to be back soon.

Dear Craig & Alison,

Thank you for a very enjoyable stay – we have a great time at the Celtic Connections and also enjoyed walking part of the West Highland Way.  Visiting Dunoon and Rothesay as well of course the very special Birthday celebration on Burns night.

Cottage is brilliant – well placed, warm and efficient.

Thanks Again.

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,

A big thanks Alison & Craig, we have had an amazing time in this beautiful cottage.  My wife and I did not want to leave!  This is my wife’s first time in Scotland and it has stolen her heart.  We will take Craig’s advice and book for the end of May next year.

If you love wildlife and breath taking scenery this is the place!

See you next year, Tony & Vanessa

3rd – 10th August 2019

We have enjoyed a relaxing week here.  The Cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) is very cosy with everything we needed.

The weather was better than we expected during the week, lots of sunshine.

Sunday we travelled to Glasgow to watch the cycling road race and despite the rain we had a wonderful time soaking up the atmosphere of the Commonwealth Games.

It’s worthwhile taking the train from Helensburgh Central station to Glasgow.  The trains run regularly and the journey takes just 50 mins.

Inverary and the castle are well worth a visit.  We had a lovely day there exploring the castle and gardens.

If you plan to visit Hill House in Helensburgh it is open from 1.30pm until 5.30pm (we arrived there in the morning expecting it to be open!).
