Comments from our Guestbook

Thank you for a fabulous base to explore Argyll & Bute. Incredibly good weather on top.
The accommodation is fabulous, the setting is lovely and quiet, just the thing for a peaceful and restful stay.
We gave never been so close to a wild pheasant, well done in making him welcome in your garden. We nearly had venison one night after a deer crossed the road right in front of us- another first.
Sadly we did not meet Alison, but we enjoyed our “wee chat” in the garden with Craig.

Thanks again

Fantastic accommodation with everything we could possibly need for our stay.
Great launch pad for our dip in to Scotland, Glen Coe, Oban, Balmoral, Pitlochry and more locally
Casheil Forest paths, so much more to see, we will be back !!

We will very much regret leaving this wonderful Cottage, and will greatly miss cosying up in front of the lovely fire after a hard day out walking on the snowy hills. Luss is a lovely little village ( and nice and quiet in January ) and the hills behind gave great views over the Loch. However if weather permits we would highly recommend the Arrochar Alps. We managed to conquer Beinn Narnain on our last day and it was truly a hike to remember !!

Thank you Craig & Alison for the lovely welcome and hope all future guests enjoy their stay

Thank you Alison & Craig for a really wonderful stay at Crosskeys cottage. This wee cottage was perfect, very well equipped and very comfortable. We had wonderful weather all week and couldn’t have wished for a better part of the world to stay in.

Thanks to your tips Alison, we went to Luss, Loch Katerine, Oban, Loch Awe and Conic Hill (love a smaller walk with great views!). The dog loved the outdoor space too.

Best of luck with all the summer ahead and hopefully see you again!

Lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge), very comfortable and well placed for visiting the areas around it.

Enjoyed a speedboat trip on the Loch and a drive to Inveraray.

Many thanks to our hosts.

We’ve enjoyed our stay at Crosskeys Cottage.  Visited Helensburgh, Balloch, Luss (it’s pretty), up to Tarbet (took ferry across to Inversnaid), then over to Stirling Castle (worth a visit), up to Inverary (castle & jail and nice coffee, shops etc) stopped off at Loch Fyne on way back (picked up some yummy salmon).

In terms of dining, we liked the boathouse at Cameron House Hotel, good food plus beautiful setting and the Duck Bay Hotel again fab setting.

Thank you Alison & Craig for the most splendid stay at your wonderful lodge.
We have had the most amazing week.The Lodge is so homely equipped with everything you need
for a home from home,if not better. My son studies at Strathclyde University and the Lodge was a
peaceful retreat for him. We traveled all over including visiting relatives in Bannockburn.
We are sad to leave this immaculate cottage and its two endearing hosts, we hope to come back in February.
