Welcome to Crosskeys Loch Lomond

Our 3rd stay at Crosskeys and again a lovely visit.

The Hill House was open this time and well worth a visit as is the ‘Tower’ if you have an evening to spare to go to the cinema

Lots of opportunity to cycle and walk – we found the other end of Glenfruin this time !!

Thank you again for your kindness

We had a lovely stay at Crosskeys Cottage. The cottage is beautifully equipped with great décor. The week was mixed re weather, but we got out and enjoyed and explored the area.

We particularly enjoyed ice cream on the promenade at Dinos in Helensburgh (a bargain at £2.00 for a cone).
We did an amazing (but long) day to the Isle of Mull. It was stunning, beautiful, dramatic and empty (for August). It is a long drive (70 miles) to Oban, but it’s definitely worth it.

We went to Balmaha (on Craig’s recommendation) and walked up Conic Hill. It’s a hard steep walk up, about 1 hour, but the views of Loch Lomond from the top are amazing. Great coffee at the St Mocha coffee shop and ice cream parlour in Balmaha.

On a rainy day we went into Glasgow on the train from Helensburgh. It’s cheap and did the Modern Art Museum, Cathedral and Brewdog Bar in the Merchant City. It’s only 45 mins on the train.

Walked up Tom na h-Airdh just outside Helensburgh and the Balloch loop walk up Whinny Hill. Beautiful and no one about.

Thank you Craig & Alison for a fantastic stay and thank you Scotland!!

We came here for our honeymoon, the Lodge was perfect, great area, nice and quiet with access to plenty of different places.

The Lodge is lovely and spacious.  We have really enjoyed our time here.

Thank you for a wonderful, peaceful break.

We would definitely come again and recommend to friends.

One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in.  Excellent facilities and a really comfy bed!

We had a lovely relaxing week and were lucky with the weather (only one wet day).

Stirling was an excellent day out,  the Trossachs Trail was beautiful, Balloch Country Park was good for a leg stretch, Antartex Village was a waste of time! but  Auchentoshen distillery is well worth a visit.

This is one place we would come back to.

Thank you Alison & Craig for letting us stay in Crosskeys Cottage it was wonderful.  We had a fantastic week with great exploring in this part of Scotland.

Thank you very much for all, Nicole and Raphael, Switzerland

22nd – 28th June 2019

We have had a lovely week here, cottage was ideal (Glenfruin Lodge), very cosy and well equipped.

Not surprisingly the weather wasn’t always on our side but a few recommendations:

– walk up Conic Hill – lovely views at the top even with a bit of rain and lots of wind.

– Three Loch forest drive – very picturesque.

– Loch Lomond sea life aquarium for a rainy day.

– Scalpsie bay on the Isle of Bute to see a seal colony – beautiful island.

– Pucks Glen for a gorgeous gorge walk.

Also strongly recommend Fruin Farm (opposite) for dinner, lovely food, great owners and staff.  Very accommodating of a noisy 9 month old.

A thoroughly enjoyable week, we will be back to explore more…

The Lodge is a perfect place to relax & unwind.  Ideal location for exploring other places.

Really enjoyed our week, the weather was fine and the Lodge itself was excellent.

Will be recommending it to friends and family and will definitely be returning next year.

How lucky we were to have chosen Glenfruin Lodge!  It was our first visit to Scotland but certainly not the last.

Enjoyed very much walking right behind the house in the direction of Garelochead – although we took a turn to the left and ended up at the Marina in Rhu (nice little Café!).  The Glen Loin Loop starting at Arrochar was great, the view from Benn Dubh (from Luss) worth all the tears I cried while climbing up it.. and Loch Katrine’s shore way for a bicycle ride was fantastic.

Thanks to Alison & Craig for this lovely cottage.  We’ll certainly be back one day.

This Lodge was cosy and comfortable.  A good location for visiting our relatives in Balloch.

Visited Balmaha and took in some lovely walks round the loch.  Duck Bay Marina was perfect for a family meal overlooking the loch.

A cosy and comfortable Cottage that had everthing we needed.  As I was here on a course I did not manage to visit many of the attractions in the area, which means we will have to come back again!  And I would have no hesitation in coming back to Crosskeys.

I can highly recommend Duck Bay Restaurant – lovely food, good service and an amazing view over the Loch.
