Comments from our Guestbook

First New Year at Crosskeys, had a great wee break.

The Cottage is stunning and homely, great walks for my black Lab ‘pepsi’ and time to recharge the batteries after a hectic year.

Thank you so much Alison & Craig for the gifts under the tree they were lovely and much appreciated.

Would definitely come back for another stay.

Thank you so very much.

What a brilliant cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) and a fab base for a week full of activities. I have to say what a lovely clean cottage this is and such friendly welcome.

A brilliant week’s weather, even the odd bit of sunshine which is always a bonus. Our first family holiday with our nearly 1 year old, and what a holiday it’s been. Thank you for the stay. If your looking for a place to eat not too far away, Balloch House Hotel is a much recommended place.

Thanks again, we may see you again soon.

Dear Craig & Alison,

We enjoyed the time in your cosy cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).  We’d never been to Scotland before so we looked forward to discovering the countryside.

Now we can say that we absolutely fell in love with the landscape, especially with Loch Lomond and Conic Hill.

We will certainly come back soon.

Thanks so much!

The Cottage is as comfortable as it is picturesque. All the amenities you could ask for, plus some extra thoughtful touches. A great base from which to explore the surrounding area, and cosy enough to enjoy a night in with the fire a book or some tv.

What an amazing place perfect base for us and very welcoming.

Visited many areas of Loch Lomond, Luss, Balloch and love Balmaha. Walked up Conic Hill which was a challenge but amazing views across the loch. Ferry over to Inchcailloch island which was lovely giving different views of the loch (food at The Royal Oak was lovely).
Helensburgh was great to visit and amazing gelato at Vanilla and stroll along the front.

Perfect spot, will definitely revisit.
