Comments from our Guestbook

We have had a really lovely time.  The weather has been exceptional.  Love the cottage, so comfortable and cosy, we have been very warm and our dogs have loved it too.

We have enjoyed taking the dogs for lots of little walks.  We have been to Luss, Crianlarich and went on a walk through the pine trees.  We didn’t venture very far but it was so beautiful, everywhere we turned there was another great view.

We will be telling family & friends about Crosskeys.

An excellent holiday.  Crosskeys Cottage very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Ideal location for walking and just generally relaxing.

Very enjoyable stay and would recommend it to friends and relatives.  Hopefully will return.

We love the Cottage and the weather was dry most of the time which meant we could do plenty of walking, especially around Loch Lomond.

We went to Luss and Balmaha where we ended up climbing Conic Hill due to taking a wrong turning on the forest trail!  It was a tough climb but well worth it for the views across Loch Lomond.  We also did a lot of walking along the West Highland Way and visited Rowardennan and climbed Ben Lomond.

We walked from the cottage into Helensburgh and back and looked around the area into Glen Fruin along the road at the back of the cottage.  We have eaten out everyday with no complaints.  We wanted a walking/hiking holiday and that’s what we got, spending whole days doing just that.

The scenery of Scotland is beautiful and we have enjoyed every minute here.  A wonderful holiday, wish we could stay longer.

We will very much regret leaving this wonderful Cottage, and will greatly miss cosying up in front of the lovely fire after a hard day out walking on the snowy hills. Luss is a lovely little village ( and nice and quiet in January ) and the hills behind gave great views over the Loch. However if weather permits we would highly recommend the Arrochar Alps. We managed to conquer Beinn Narnain on our last day and it was truly a hike to remember !!

Thank you Craig & Alison for the lovely welcome and hope all future guests enjoy their stay

Had a lovely stay in this marvellous cottage (Crosskeys Cottage ) which is well situated, with easy access to local shops and

amenities. Stunning views around not only Loch Lomond but the many places we visited during our week here.

Would recommend to anyone.

Thank you for a wonderfully warm and cosy stay at Crosskeys Cottage. A beautiful spot to explore Scotland and take in the beautiful scenery.

Thank you for making it so homely.

Hope to be back again!

Had a lovely holiday.  This cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) was very sweet and perfect for our needs.  Fire is fantastic, kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed.  Disappointed we didn’t meet the cat though!

Recommend checking out the Sugar Boat (restaurant) in Helensburgh – absolutely amazing food, fantastic cocktails & lovely staff.

A lovely, charming, quaint cottage ideally located.  Peace, quiet, relaxation is what you get if it’s what you need.  It was great to come back to a place I haven’t been since the 70’s.

Loch Lomond is beautiful and you must go to the Birds of Prey centre (10 mins away) and if you walk up the lane from cottage you might catch a glimpse of a buzzard on his hunt.  We saw him 3-4 times, wonderful to see.

Another must is Glencoe and Fort William (or venture further on) the highlands are amazing.  Just a short drive to Luss and the Loch is just perfect – chill and peace.  You will get a lovely meal at the Loch Lomond Hotel and if you fancy ‘take away’ ‘indian meal’, then go to the ‘Akash’ in Helensburgh – on Sinclair street.  Lovely – we went twice!

It was great that we could bring our dog ‘Jake’ – he loved it also.  Would love to come back and encourage friends and family to do the same.

Thanks for a lovely time.

We only had a few days here but what a cosy cottage and so well placed for touring around the area.  Unfortunately the weather wasn’t really on our side but we had a lovely day on Sunday when we took a drive through Glen Fruin, up to Arrochar and then over to Loch Fyne and down Loch Eck.  A wonderful walk through Pucks Glen and a nice meal on the way home at the lovely Whistlefiled Inn – very reasonably priced too!

Thank you Craig and Alison for a lovely stay, just a shame it was too short.

We have had a splendid week, covered lots of miles of wonderful scenery as well as catching up on some relaxation.

Glenfruin Lodge is delightful.  Well appointed & perfectly equipped – we couldn’t have asked for more.

We even saw the eagles!

Thank you.
