Comments from our Guestbook

Lovely Lodge.  Relaxed immediately.  Felt right at home.  Enjoyed driving through Glen Fruin – seemed caught in a time warp of bygone age.

Thank you for creating such a cosy, welcoming environment.

Hope to come again.

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!

Lovely stay, Crosskeys cottage was lovely and warm.
Bit lost as first time this side of Scotland, but we will be back.
Bit unlucky on the second half of the week when the good weather arrived due to car trouble as we had plans for Skye & more..
We did however make Glencoe & were blown away!! stunning.

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.

Like the last people, this was a surprise from my husband.  I have family in Helensburgh and Stirling.  Had a wonderful week, weather was brilliant and the Lodge was really lovely.  In fact my sister in law and brother wanted to move in!

It was really nice catching up with my family and there was everything you could think of in the lodge, really loved it – in fact might even try and come back later in the year.

Thanks,

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.

Fabulous little cottage. Had a wonderful time walking in the mountains and exploring the sea lochs – Castle Carrick is beautiful!

Hopefully back again soon.

Thank you!

Another relaxing and fantastic stay in Glenfruin Lodge! The weather was glorious this year so lazy days were an easy option in the sunshine. A trip to Oban is always a highlight to get the gest Fish & Chips at the ‘Oban Fish & Chip Shop’ in George Street.

A day out on the Rosneath Peninsula is a great way to see the Argyll coast. A trip to Pitlochry has become a mandatory part of our holidays to visit Cafe Bibba and the Sweetie Shop! Balloch Country Park is well laid out and great location for local gentle walking.

A beautiful location and a great cottage – well done Alison & Craig for keeping things going and continuing to provide this ‘oasis’ during these difficult times.

Roddy & Sue, Hambletown, Kent.

17th – 24th July 2021

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,
