Comments from our Guestbook

A wonderful stay at Crosskeys Cottage.  Cosy & warm, a great home away from home from which we could base our adventures.

Day 1 – A climb up Ben Lomond was worth the beautiful views, with the added bonus of snow, it was truly magical.

Day 2 – We didn’t see the ‘fairies’ at Doon Hill but a lovely walk nethertheless, we believe they watched us on route.  Followed by a stunning view of the Bracklin falls in Callander.

Day 3 – A walk round the beautiful town of Luss, shorter easier walks but great views of the Loch from Beinn Dubh, and around the woodland.  Great dog friendly eateries at the ‘Village visit’ in Luss and the evening at the Drovers Inn for fun & live music.

We can’t wait to come again to explore more around Loch Lomond.  Thank you for a relaxing stay.

Hi guys, just a short note to say how much Helen, Amy, Reece and myself enjoyed our stay in Crosskeys Cottage.  The location is magical and the 3 days we stayed helped recharge our batteries.  It’s just a pity you could not bottle it!

We had lots of fun exploring the area with visits to Helensburgh and Lomond Shores.

Oh well, time to go back to reality…

Thank you, Matt, Helen, Amy, Reece and Aihor the dog!

We have had such a wonderful time here in Loch Lomond , Helensburgh and travelling around to see as much as we could.
The Cottage is such a beautiful place to relax in after days out – The Spa bath is so lovely, had quite a few during our stay.
Hosts are wonderful and friendly, nothing is to much trouble for them, they even made us drinks when the power went of on the day of our departure. Thank you so much for everything, Craig & Alison we really do appreciate it.
Hopefully see you again soon.

We have had a lovely time and wish we could have stayed longer. Despite not having the best weather
we really enjoyed our boat trip on Loch Lomond. The Falkirk Wheel was well worth a slightly longer drive
and good fun.
The Lodge has been perfect for us with everything we could possibly need and a delight to stay in.

Many thanks

Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenfuin Lodge.  The lodge is very well equipped, perfect location and a warm and friendly welcome from Alison & Craig made for a perfect stay.

Enjoyed some great walks – Ben A’an, Ardmore Peninsula, Conic Hill and Stronachlachar and Loch Arklet.  Had a day trip to Glasgow, visited The Tenement and Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery.  Here in Helensburgh we spent a morning at Hill House (a National Trust property) designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh – really enjoyed seeing the design and architecture of this period.  Took a road trip up Loch Lomond – fantastic.  Would recommend La Barca in Helensburgh – really tasty Spanish Tapas.  A great holiday, further enhanced by fantastic weather.

We’ve had a lovely stay in the Cottage, and have enjoyed lots of walks in the local area,
Balloch castle grounds and the Hill House to Rhu. We were very lucky with the weather and had a glorious day
for a trip on Loch Lomond.
Delighted to finally get to see the Hill House and can highly recommend the Lido fish and chip shop in Helensburgh.

We have loved our stay here in this lovely cottage.  Perfect location for exploring all that Scotland has to offer.

Would definately recommend Crosskeys to family and friends and come back in the future.

Thanks to Craig & Alison for everything.

Having taken a couple of overnight stops to get here, we were really pleased to arrive at this lovely cottage, and have a warm welcome.  There is so much to see and do that we will have to come back and would happily stay at Crosskeys again!

We intended to spend one day in Glasgow but with so many places to visit (particularly as big Charles Rennie Mackintosh fan!) we had to go back for a second day.  Recommend the sight seeing tour and take the train in – it is quick and good value.  Inveraray is worth a visit, lovely small town and the castle is impressive.  Oban is also worth a visit and Genfinnan monument.

All in all we had a great week here!

We have had a lovely long weekend.  The cottage (Crosskeys Cottage) is nice and cosy and well equipped.  Great location for exploring the National Park.

We were lucky enough with the weather to walk up Ben Lomond, Beinne Ime and Beinn Narnain.  Amazing views on the way down!!

We have had a fantastic few days, thank you.
