We arrived to a warm welcome and a nicely presented cottage (Lodge).  The Cottage came with everything we wanted and the whirlpool bath was a nice additional after a long cold walk!

The Sea Life Centre was good in Balloch.  A walk up to the Cobbler from Arrochar was excellent but the snow became quite deep at the very top, views were incredible.  Almost lost the Hire Car though as Loch Long flooded into the car park!

Tried to walk to Ben Vorlich next day but the path was hard to find from the dam at Loch Sloy.  However, the dam and the valley is impressive .

Loch Fyne is a good place to eat too, only place that seemed to serve a selection of seafood.

The sleeper train is a great way to travel too!

Lovely little cottage done to a high spec. Few miles outside Helensburgh, so great to explore the Loch and surrounding area. Craig and family perfect hosts.

Has to be one of the cosiest cottages we have stayed in.  We have had a fantastic time visiting what can only be described as a beautiful part of the world.  We sadly had to cut our holiday short, but I think we will be back again.

What a great little Cottage ! (Glenfruin Lodge) We really enjoyed our stay. Spent most of our time exploring the area and visiting wedding venues. Had a very tasty meal at Cucina in Balloch one evening – thanks for the recommendation.
Highlight was seeing the Red Squirrels in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which had eluded us on our last trip this way.
Thanks for a lovely stay hope to be back soon.

What a lovely week we’ve had! Crosskeys Cottage is delightful, comfortable and a well-equipped cottage, so convenient for the loch.

Luss is lovely – and a great swim spot – I’ve really enjoyed the surprisingly warm water.

We visited the magnificent Kelpies (nr Grangemouth) and the impressive Stirling Castle, looked over the Falls of Falloch and walked through the woodlands at Crianlarich. The cruise around the loch was lovely, and the short walk along the West Highland Way from Balmaha to Milarochy was glorious – with a sunny swim from one of the beaches there. We’ve had fantastic weather and the view from Beinn Dubh (Luss) was worth the aching legs!!

Balloch Castle Park is also worth walking round, with coffee and cake from the slipway kiosk.

Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage.

We had a fantastic stay at Crosskeys Cottage. We were originally due to come over Christmas but of course Covid made sure that got cancelled. Craig & Alison were very accommodating in moving our dates.

We lucked out with the weather as it was forecast to be a washout but we got beautiful sunshine all week (the odd shower didn’t count).

We will definitely be booking to stay here again!

Dear Alison & Craig,

The first step we took into the Crosskeys Cottage, we felt welcome and at home.  The colours, the decorations just make you feel so cosy.

It was our first holiday/vacation as a family of four.  Travelling with two children under two, we thought might be a bit tricky, but turned out just fine.

We came here to visit friends of my husband who used to live in Helensburgh as a teenager.  So we visited them in Garelochhead, where you have a very nice view of the Naval Base at night.  The scenery all in all was just breath taking, whilst looking out the window when driving.

We went and took a walk beside the Clyde, went to Glasgow and went strolling around an Antique store.  We went through Glen Fruin, which was amazing, we took the kids to Stirling Castle and got to hear the history of James V, and his two wives and their daughter Mary, told from an actress in the clothes of the past.  The view of Wallace Monument and his history was also something that we found very interesting.

My husband and I decided we definitely want to come back here.

Thanks for everything.

Greetings from Germany, Rachel, Marcel, Emmelyn and Jacon
