Comments from our Guestbook

We enjoyed our stay here very much.  The Lodge is very comfortable and a perfect retreat.

Only the weather wasn’t very kind this week.

I sat in the garden with a cuppa and had a read of your guest book.  I so agree with everyone, the Lodge is a great place to stay.  Watch out for the wildlife first thing in the morning, I got some good photos.

I don’t really like cats but when you meet Shadow he wins you over.  He came and sat at the table, a good sun spot.

I came here to chill and switch off and I did, I had a great time and loved the bath!

Thank you so much for the little touches, the flowers made it feel like home.

Hope to be back again.

Thank you very much for our fantastic stay at this wonderful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).

The weather has been amazing this week which made our visit perfect.  Balmaha is a must and a trip to Inchcailloch island highly recommended.  Lunch at the Oak Tree Inn was brilliant and the food very very nice.

This was our first time visiting Scotland but it definitely won’t be the last!  We arrived at Glenfruin lodge after a 6.5 hour drive and instantly felt at home.

The Lodge is spacious yet cosy with everything we needed for our week-long stay.  The bed is wonderfully comfortable, kitchen well stocked and the HUGE whirlpool bath and log burner were God sends after a long day out in the Scottish Highlands!

During our stay we visited:

– Bird of Prey Centre at Balloch – great value and very interesting.

– Sweeney’s Cruises for a 1 hour cruise of Loch Lomond.

– RSPB nature reserve at Gartocharn (lovely walk).

– Lodge Visitors Centre at Aberfoyle for wonderful Red Squirrel viewing.

– Ben Lomond – still can’t believe we climbed an actual mountain! Amazing experience & breathtaking views.

We also treated ourselves to fish & chips from the ‘Wee Kelpie’ in Helensburgh (delicious) and splashed out on the 8 course tasting menu at the Michelin star ‘Martin Wishart’ restaurant at Cameron House (amazing for us foodies!).

All in all our first visit to this beautiful country has been unforgettable – we are already planning to come back next year!  Glenfruin Lodge will definitely be our 1st choice of accommodation.

We have had a wonderful stay at Crosskeys Cottage. It was our first time visiting Scotland safe to say we will be coming back soon. It was our first family holiday with our 7 month old baby boy and our dog. It has been a much needed break with lots of walks and things to do, a perfect break away.

Thank you so much
