Comments from our Guestbook

Had a wonderful stay in this cosy, comfortable (Crosskeys) cottage.  A perfect base to access all around Loch Lomond.  We enjoyed visiting/walking in lots of new places – Balloch Country park, Luss, Glen Branter, Doon Hill Fairy Walk in Aberfoyle, the Waterfall at Bracklinn Falls and Glen Fruin.  If walking in Glen Branter we would recommend following the ‘yellow route’ to see the waterfalls.  Our dog ‘Flo’ (Beagle/Jack cross) had a great time exploring!

There is so much we haven’t managed to do that we would love to come back and would definitely keep this cottage in mind.

Thank you!

We’ve enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very attractive Cottage (Crosskeys).  We chose the location partly to revisit some of the places we know from long ago, as we youth hostelled in the Trossachs in the 1950’s.  Quite a lot of changes, but of course the scenery is just as splendid.  New to us was the woodland garden at Ardkinglas and can recommend a visit to see some wonderful trees; also taking the little road to Stronachlachar to enjoy the lovely views of Loch Katrine.  Even the wet days were happily spent in Glasgow – a fine city with lots of interest.

What a beautiful place to come and stay, we have had a wonderful time discovering this part of Scotland.  Scenes that take your breath away and it started her in this lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).

It had everything we needed and our little boy Rory enjoyed exploring all the rooms especially the big bath !

It was very handy for other places we spent time in Balloch,  Luss and Helensburgh

The beach and ducks in Luss were a favourite

Glenfruin Lodge is a lovely cottage, tastefully decorated, with everything you need. Everything was spotless and we felt right at home. An ideal location to explore the Trossachs National Park & surrounding area. Hosts were very friendly & we enjoyed the short break. Five stars*****

Thank you Alison & Craig for the most splendid stay at your wonderful lodge.
We have had the most amazing week.The Lodge is so homely equipped with everything you need
for a home from home,if not better. My son studies at Strathclyde University and the Lodge was a
peaceful retreat for him. We traveled all over including visiting relatives in Bannockburn.
We are sad to leave this immaculate cottage and its two endearing hosts, we hope to come back in February.

We have been on the hunt for our perfect Loch Lomond hidey hole since we outgrew our last one after our daughter was born : -and I think we have found it.

Our stay in the Lodge has been incredible, cosey, idylic and family friendly!
I’d recommend the John Muir Way walk from Crosskeys to Balloch, simply stunning and no rambling !!

We cant wait to head back up and hopefully we get the chance to build more snowmen !

Grateful for our wonderful & generous hosts – Craig & Alison , the Tunnocks were lovely !

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.
