We enjoyed a very interesting week around Loch Lomond.  Crosskeys Cottage suited us just fine, enjoyed the comfort of the wood burner.  The cottage being well equipped.  Alison & Craig being very helpful all the week.

Spent a very enjoyable 2 hours at the farm, (Auchindrain folk village) where time has just stood still for many decades.  Eddie MacCallum the last tenant of the small farm retired on 1962, the farm and cottages are just frozen in time.  Well worth a visit if that’s your interest, extremely humbling.  Auchindrain is on the A83.

Good food at the Duck Bay Marina next to Cameron House.  Commodore at the front of Helensburgh not too bad.  An interesting drive over the mountains opposite Loch Tay, but scary very narrow roads, scenery excellent.  Snow on the high hills on the Sunday.

Another very relaxing week at Crosskeys, we have been coming here for many years and it is a real “home from home”
Whilst there is plenty to see locally, Glenfruin is ideally situated for trips farther afeild. to the west we have Inveraray , Lochgilphead and Oban are all well worth a visit.
We also visited the re opened Burrell Collection in Glasgow, having previously been there 8/9 years ago the refurbishment and increase in inter active displays was certainly impressive.
Thanks again Alison & Craig for helping us have a great holiday.

It was a pleasure to stay at the fully equipped Glenfruin Lodge.  We did and saw many things during our one week stay.

We drove the full circle around the National Park.  We went to Oban for a day and Fort William for a day as well.  The drive through Glen Coe (the valley, not the village) was outstanding!

Arienne and Paul walked the first part of the Three Lochs Way (from Balloch to Helensburgh) and Paul climbed to the summit of Ben Lomond. Tough hikes, but amazingly beautiful and recommended!

One day Elise went pony trekking at Rednoch (near Port of Menteith).  It was fun and they particularly keep your level of skill in mind.

Maisie (the cat) visited us from time to time, snoring all the time…  she was kind of like a second host.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for another great time in Loch Lomond – Crosskeys cottage is a super place: warm, comfortable, cosy and with the snow plough on the doorstep – snow is not a problem and from the cottage there is just such a fantastic lot of options.

We will be back again and maybe see Inverary in sunshine!  We also still have a bit more of the east shore of Loch Lomond to walk!

Many thanks again for all your kindness.

I sat in the garden with a cuppa and had a read of your guest book.  I so agree with everyone, the Lodge is a great place to stay.  Watch out for the wildlife first thing in the morning, I got some good photos.

I don’t really like cats but when you meet Shadow he wins you over.  He came and sat at the table, a good sun spot.

I came here to chill and switch off and I did, I had a great time and loved the bath!

Thank you so much for the little touches, the flowers made it feel like home.

Hope to be back again.
