Comments from our Guestbook

Crosskeys Cottage is a beautiful and well located cottage. Everything has been thought about carefully – the kitchen layout, heating, choice of rugs, wonderful. We ate very well and started our Scottish adventures into Munro bagging.

Previously we have run mountain trails in Wales, but we are now entering the big league.
First Munro – Ben Lomond (sunny and fabulous)
Second Munro – Ben More (white out snow storm and vertical ascent!!)

So we would love to revist to do Stob Beihin & Arrochar Alps.

Great space, handy washing machine. I would highly recommend a stay.

Thank you, Lindsay, Andy & Mabel (woof)

Thank you for a fabulous base to explore Argyll & Bute. Incredibly good weather on top.
The accommodation is fabulous, the setting is lovely and quiet, just the thing for a peaceful and restful stay.
We gave never been so close to a wild pheasant, well done in making him welcome in your garden. We nearly had venison one night after a deer crossed the road right in front of us- another first.
Sadly we did not meet Alison, but we enjoyed our “wee chat” in the garden with Craig.

Thanks again

Such a cosy & pretty cottage!  We based ourselves here and travelled to Ben Nevis, the Falkirk Wheel, Glasgow and of course Loch Lomond.  Every day brought more wonderful views and memories of our first holiday as a family.

Our (nearly) two year old twins have enjoyed exploring everywhere and we can’t wait to return!

Thank you for a lovely stay.

Thank you for letting us come early due to the weather.  A very cosy, wonderful cottage.  A great place to self-cater.

A great place also for Henry, our dog who could run around the front lawn.

This is an excellent place to visit with so much to see and do.  Did lots of walking with magnificent views.

I would recommend this location to our friends and also Crosskeys to stay.

Dear Craig & Alison,

Thank you for a wonderful stay!  My sailor came home after a long period at sea, and Crosskeys Cottage gave him the perfect place to unwind and re-charge.  Absolutely perfect.  Can’t thank you enough.

We have loved staying here at Glenfruin Lodge, its our first time in Scotland and it really is the perfect location to explore Loch Lomond and the surrounding areas.

We highly recommend visiting Luss and eating at the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel, the wood pigeon is so tasty.

We also enjoyed visiting Balloch and Helensburgh !! La Barca and Masala Twist, both really tasty !

Hope to make Scotland a holiday again soon, so much to explore and just not enough time !
