Comments from our Guestbook

We are the only ones who have come here from Germany.  It was a beautiful week here in Crosskeys.  The weather was great for Scottish conditions.  We greet the visitors from ‘Essel’ who will be here in July… ‘Hello!!

Best regards,

Brigitte and Stephane with Else and Ridiger, our dogs.

Loved it!

Smashing time, many thanks.

Sarah & David

ps Don’t miss a visit to Inchcalloch island, ferry is £5.00 return from Balmaha.  Also views of Loch Lomond from the ‘Dumpling’ in Gartocharn are even better than Conic Hill and a much easier walk!

18th – 25th May 2019

Our first trip together to Scotland to celebrate our 12th Wedding Anniversary.  We were blessed with beautiful sunny weather all week.

Our thanks to Craig & Alison for a very homely Lodge.  We have been able to relax and enjoy Scotland knowing we had this lovely Lodge to come back to each night.

23rd February – 2nd March 2013

The Lodge is beautiful, well equipped and cosy – the whirlpool bath is great!

Although weather wasn’t on our side, we made the most of the week.  Inverary castle is a great trip, especially the gardens.  Half way through the week we climbed Ben Nevis, it was very cloudy on top so we couldn’t see anything but snow, but we feel proud to have reached the summit!

The ‘Village Rest’ in Luss is well worth a visit for dinner.  Great service and food.

If you go to Glen Coe, make sure you take a path to get away from the road, as it is magnificent.

Many thanks,

Rebecca & Gary, Coventry

16th – 23rd May 2015

Thank you for a comfortable stay at Crosskeys Cottage.

Richard and Sally Derrick from Devon.

16th – 23rd April

A lovely stay again in this wonderful cottage (Glenfuin Cottage), all thanks to Alison and Craig.
Went to Glasgow to the Transport Museum and Burrell Collection. Both well worth a visit.
A trip to Edinburgh Botanic Gardens also well worth the visit.
A must have trip to the Oban Fish & Chip Shop, 116 George Street for the best place to eat in fish and chips.
Inverary is also worth visiting. A trip round the peninsular from Helsnburgh is good if the weather is being kind or a wander round the glen.

Looking forward to next year.
Sue and Roddy, Harrietshaw, Kent

13th – 20th July 2024

Our first visit to Scotland and WOW what a great place. Glenfruin cottage is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. It has everything needed for a great week away. We walked 52 miles in total with the biggest achievement ‘Ben Lomond’.

Thank you Craig & Alison, we’d love to stay again when we’re back up this way.

5th – 12th April 2025

A very happy holiday and above all a warm, cosy welcome!

Perfect location for us ‘oldies’ to see and enjoy the sights.  We’d love to come back – and I hope next time I can get a gorgeous lady to join me in the whirlpool bath! (Betty’s knees were not up to it)….

Betty & Gerald Spencer, Andover, Hants

P.S. They do say you should grow old disgracefully!

13th – 20th June 2015

We had a lovely week here in a perfect arrayed little cottage.  We enjoyed the scenery around and above (from Ben Lomond).

There was even a day with sun 🙂  We finished our stay with a perfect dinner at Fruin Farm just across the road.
