Comments from our Guestbook

We loved our time here.  The Lodge is a perfect spot, fully equipped for every need.  Weather was kind so did some great walks and bike riding, spoilt for choice.  Loved Ben Lomond, and Luss village is a great spot.

Had some great meals out, but if you want cheap & cheerful, Henry Bell (Weatherspoons) in Helensburgh is great – love the curry night on Thursdays.

Thank you and yes we will recommend!

Had a lovely week, lovely walks, scenery is great.  Our dog (Flo) loved the swimming in the river.  Waitrose is a must for stocking up, Helensburgh is lovely to walk around and browse.

Perfect location to explore the area.

Our second Christmas here at Crosskeys.

Thanks Alison & Craig for the tasteful christmas decorations and the lovely gifts under the Christmas tree.  Delightful touches!

Have again enjoyed our stay despite the constant rain, although this morning dawned bright and sunny and we walked the dogs up through the Glen.  Pair of Golden Eagles spotted!

Looking for ways to visit in mid summer, will check our diary!

Thanks again, Jim, Frances and Kelly, Barney & Echo!

Thank you Alison and Craig for a wonderful stay in Glenfruin Lodge. It was so cosy and comfortable with everything we needed to make our stay special. We enjoyed our trips to Oban, Inverary and Balloch with a special mention to Auchindrian (historical scottish hamlet) – well worth a visit.

Thank you so much!

Thanks Alison & Craig for a wonderful 2 week break, we wanted somewhere to relax for 2 weeks and that’s what we got.

The Lodge was lovely and a superb base to go exploring.

Thank you

We have enjoyed a fantastic week! This was our first visit to this part of Scotland, and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

The cottage is very comfortable, clean, and enjoys a fantastic location.  We would thoroughly recommend exploring Luss, Firkin Point and Balloch Country Park.

If you feel like venturing a little further afield, then a walk through Glen Coe is an absolute must!

A perfect place to spend a week, and somewhere we would look forward to staying again.

Had a great week at Glenfruin Lodge, lots of adventures. Ate at Fruin Farm Restaurant which is just the other side of the roundabout outside the cottage.  Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful cottage, thank you.

Cosy, comfortable Crosskeys Cottage. Ideal for our short stay in Loch Lomond. Warm welcome from Craig and Alison. Highlights of our short stay – Conic Hill, its steep but worth it, amazing views. Duncryne (dumpling) trail, much less steep but also very nice views over the Loch. Aber shore RSPB trail to the Loch absolutely beautiful this time of year with the bluebells, a very peaceful walk. Lussfor a pleasant stroll and Helensburgh for sunset over the hills. Finally a coffee or glass of something at Duck Bay a perfect way to finish your day sitting onthe terrace watching the swifts under the pontoon and listening to the oyster catchers.

All of the above dog friendly and much enjoyed by us too.

Thanks, very much enjoyed our stay, Neil, Deb, Dooley & Davy (woof)
