Comments from our Guestbook

Came to Crosskeys cottage for a few days away and a bit of a rest. What a perfect place to do just that! Love that Alison and Craig have all the switches clearly labelled – just made it feel like we could get to know the place quicker and relax.

Plenty to do around here but if you’re up for a lazy takeaway, you’d have to look quite far to beat KoolBa Indian takeaway in Helensburgh, just 3.5 miles along the road. And talking about being lazy – what a comfy bed! And the spa bath…. a fab treat!

Thank you so much, Alison and Craig, our wee break here really hit the spot.

8 days in January – escape from the city. We enjoyed a ‘home from home’ at Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage with our baby. Fell in love with Luss and the magical fairy trail (don’t need to pay for it!) and visited the sea life centre in Loch Lomond.

Thank you for our chocies – we have definately got a soft spot for Scotland.

We had a lovely family holiday here.  The lodge is in a good central location for visiting all the nearby lochs.

There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the website and therefore we did not bring a high chair, however the owner very kindly went and bought one the following day for us.  The bed is very comfortable (hotel quality) and was very well equipped, it was a shame we didn’t get to sit in the garden because of the weather.

Lots of nice picnic locations nearby, I recommend Balmaha.

The Cottage is well equipt with everything you need, lovely facilities from the kitchen to the bathroom.

We have enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas, even in the rain! Perfectly situated cottage with plenty to do in every direction.

We can’t thank you enough!

Enjoyed a lovely stay in 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

We hope to be back soon !!

We’ve had a lovely week in this well appointed and comfortable cottage (Crosskeys Cottage). Alison and Craig have been very welcoming and helpful.

Crosskeys is so well situation for exploring this part of Scotland, especially Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Our excursion on the steamer ‘Sir Walter Scott’ on Loch Katrine worked brilliantly helped by some sunny weather.

Supermarkets in Helensburgh and Balloch were easily accessible where we could buy everything we needed for meals. Maisie, our labrador was equally content!

A great visit and one we would love to repeat at some stage.

There is not a single negative thing to say about our stay – We have LOVED our time in the Crosskeys Cottage so much, we are so sad to be leaving! The decor is so lovely and homey, the bed is especially comfy and some of the best sleep we have had for a while!

It’s been the perfect spot for all our exploring around the Lochs and mountains and the cosiest place to return to after a hiking day!

Our boy Jango (dog) has also loved it here and made himself at home, we think he is sadder than us to leave!

Thank you for a perfect stay!
