A huge thank you to Alison & Craig for a great holiday.

The Lodge is so warm & cosy and felt like home.

As a cat lover it was great to have a visit from Maisie most days.

Would love to come back.

We had a lovely week staying here at Crosskeys Cottage.
Thank you to Craig & Alison for making us feel so welcome.
Such a lovely, well equipped cottage that made our stay so comfortable.

We had mixed weather but still managed to do a lot and see so much: Luss Village and Firkin Point, Hill House and the Sasco gallery in Helensburgh, Balloch Country Park, The Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel, Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument, Culross and Blackness Castle.

Thanks again Craig & Alison, we will definately be recommending the cottage to our friends.

Thank you so much Craig & Alison, for a lovely stay at Crosskeys Cottage. It is really very cosy, beautifully equipped and decor natural. The Cottage is ideally situated for getting around and we have really enjoyed our stay despite rain showers most of the week. Everything you need to feel at home – we are so relaxed.

Your countryside is marvelous. We loved Hill House in Helensburgh, Conic Hill at Balmaha, Inversnaid waterfall, Luss Village, Inverary Castle, three sisters of Glencoe, the West Highland Railway line and Portencross & Largs.

Best Wishes

Thank you once again Craig & Alison. This is our 3rd stay in Crosskeys Cottage with you and everything, once again, was perfect.

We did so many different things this year. We have walked over 35 miles in the 2 weeks, including Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh (1,000ft). Conic hill at Balmaha and 2 local walks from the Hill House in Helensburgh.

Other highlights were Ardkinglas Woodland walk, a ferry from Luss to Inchacailloch Island, a meal at Loch Fyne restaurant, Dumbarton Castle and a ferry across to Inchmurrin Island to dine at the restaurant is worth doing. It is only 1.5 miles from here by foot! the ferry crossing is lovely.

Other good eating places are fish & chips and La Barca Tapas Bar in Helensburgh and Princess Rose Thai restaurant in Balloch. Oh we nearly forgot Blair Drummond safari park was a great day out too and to top it all only 1 day of rain in 2 weeks!

We will be back,

Sue & Tim, West Sussex

We would recommend Clyde St Cafe for an amazing full breakfast in Helensburgh, so good we went twice !!

A visit to Doune Castle is a must especially if you are a Monty Python fan.

Thank you Alison & Craig for the warm welcome. finding a christmas card and presents under the tree was a treat.

Many Thanks
