Comments from our Guestbook

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!

Dear Craig & Alison,

Thank you for a wonderful stay!  My sailor came home after a long period at sea, and Crosskeys Cottage gave him the perfect place to unwind and re-charge.  Absolutely perfect.  Can’t thank you enough.

Another splendid stay at Glenfruin Lodge, a cottage we really enjoy staying in.  Well equipped, lovely and warm when we arrived to damp weather.  We have been very fortunate with the weather, some nice sunny days from Monday onwards.  We experienced the first frosts of the autumn.  The higher hills being capped with snow on the thursday night.  Enjoyed tasty evening meals down at Duck Bay (good sirloin steak).

Wonderful autumn colours all around.  Recommend the thistle shopping centre in Stirling.

Many thanks to Alison & Craig for their hospitality.  All being well we hope to be back next autumn.

Had a lovely stay in Glenfruin Lodge and enjoyed exploring the area.
Trips to Stirling and Arrocher, plenty of walks with the pooch around the nearby lochs, truly peaceful and beautiful. What a wonderful place.

We’ve enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very attractive Cottage (Crosskeys).  We chose the location partly to revisit some of the places we know from long ago, as we youth hostelled in the Trossachs in the 1950’s.  Quite a lot of changes, but of course the scenery is just as splendid.  New to us was the woodland garden at Ardkinglas and can recommend a visit to see some wonderful trees; also taking the little road to Stronachlachar to enjoy the lovely views of Loch Katrine.  Even the wet days were happily spent in Glasgow – a fine city with lots of interest.

I have had a fabulous week staying at Crosskeys Cottage.  Such a charming cottage with fab features and lovely décor!  I have well and truly fallen in love with the cottage and the area, just wish I didn’t have to go home tomorrow…

Thanks Craig for lending me your wok to cook my clams from Loch Fyne, they were delish.  Places to go – I really recommend ‘Pucks Glen’ near Dunoon.  Loch Fyne restaurant.  Fruin Farm Restaurant (over the road from here) also does a lovely breakfast.  Inverary is lovely too as is the most amazing views on the drive up there.

Thanks again and hope to be back soon!

We’ve had a lovely stay in the Cottage, and have enjoyed lots of walks in the local area,
Balloch castle grounds and the Hill House to Rhu. We were very lucky with the weather and had a glorious day
for a trip on Loch Lomond.
Delighted to finally get to see the Hill House and can highly recommend the Lido fish and chip shop in Helensburgh.
