Welcome to Crosskeys Loch Lomond

Glenfruin Lodge

What a great time we’ve had! There has been great walks and views.

We recommend the Cattle & Creel in Helensburgh for great Steak, Mussels and Oysters.  Sadly Duck Bay is not what it was – the food was poor and I’d avoid it.

Our second visit. Crosskeys Cottage is cosy and ideally placed for visits. Love Helensburgh. Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies – unbelieveable engineering. Rosneath Peninsula – dolphins in the loch, seals off Ardmore Point. Glenarn Gardens a riot of colour.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House, only 5 mins drive away – covered in a metal mesh ‘box’ but access to walkways all around the outside of the building and even above it, shows it’s desperate need for conservation. Another brilliant piece of engineering and very interesting – seeing parts of the building not normally seen and revealing the poor construction under the pebbledash.

Great week, now moving to Bute via Rest and be thankful and Ardkinglas Arboretum.

We’ve had a lovely week in “Crosskeys Cottage” – very warm, cosy & characterful place to stay.  A warm welcome too when we arrived.

A good base from which to enjoy the beautiful Loch Lomond & Trossachs area.

Some of the places we have visited and walked our 2 dogs that we would recommend:-

– Comic Hill & Balmaha – steep walk, but fantastic view from the top & Oak Tree Inn opposite!!

– Pucks Glen near Dunoon.

– Aberfoyle & Loch Ard Walk

– Fort William (2 hour drive) through Glen Coe was spectacular

– Balloch Castle Country Park

– Luss

– The Cobbler – only looked as it’s a bit of a more serious climb!

We visited far more places including Helensburgh (for shopping & take-aways!!) to mention.

Thanks very much.

A very comfortable & well decorated cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  It had everything you needed in such a beautiful location.  Would have loved to have stayed longer.

11th – 13th October 2017

We had a fantastic stay at Crosskeys Cottage. We were originally due to come over Christmas but of course Covid made sure that got cancelled. Craig & Alison were very accommodating in moving our dates.

We lucked out with the weather as it was forecast to be a washout but we got beautiful sunshine all week (the odd shower didn’t count).

We will definitely be booking to stay here again!

W e have had a most spectacular week, started off climbing Ben Nevis and have ached for the rest of the week
but well worth it for the views. Glencoe mountain range was exceptionally magical, chairlift to the top walk , climb the rest breath taking views. Highlight of our week was a Ferry from Oban, exploring the islands and accompanied by around 60 Dolphins magical. I think we have walked and climbed the surrounding area , it has been heaven.

The Cottage is a wonderful place to stay with everything you need and much more.
Thank you very much

Another lovely visit (at the cottage).  Restful and with some beautiful weather so we enjoyed the garden.  The dog, as ever, enjoyed bounding around!

Thank you as ever.

We really enjoyed our stay here at Glenfruin Lodge, and had some amazing walks. It’s such a lovely place to stay, can’t wait to come back!

15th – 18th March 2025

We have enjoyed our stay here in this lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage), despite the weather! It’s been very comfortable and has all we needed. We explored the area which is very beautiful and plenty to see and do.
Inveraray Castle is well worth a visit as was Hill House in Helensburgh and Luss Village.

Thank you for having us to share this super cottage.
