Comments from our Guestbook

What an amazing place perfect base for us and very welcoming.

Visited many areas of Loch Lomond, Luss, Balloch and love Balmaha. Walked up Conic Hill which was a challenge but amazing views across the loch. Ferry over to Inchcailloch island which was lovely giving different views of the loch (food at The Royal Oak was lovely).
Helensburgh was great to visit and amazing gelato at Vanilla and stroll along the front.

Perfect spot, will definitely revisit.

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 have had a truly amazing and relaxing stay at Glenfuin Lodge. Thank you for the warm welcome and spotless cottage. Thanks to Alison’s recommendations we had a wonderful time climbing Conic Hill (stunning views!) and a great trip to the island of Inchcailloch. We also drove to Glencoe and were in awe of the breathtaking scenery.

Thanks again for providing such a cosy, comfortable and well-equipped base from which to explore Loch Lomond and into the Highlands. It has been the perfect way to spend and celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary.

We have had a lovely honeymoon here (Glenfruin Lodge), especially being greeted with a  bunch of flowers and a bottle of Prosecco!  Thanks Craig & Alison.

Cottage is perfect and there is everything you could need.  We would recommend walking up Conic Hill as the views of the loch were stunning!  Luss was a lovely stop off on the way to Inveraray and you get some great views up on the mountains.  We enjoyed a coffee at Cameron House – very fancy!  We also managed to go to Hill House before it closed for the season, worth a visit if you are a fan of Rennie Mackintosh.

Thank you for having us!

This is a real gem ideally situated for access to both city and country.  We found it easy to travel to Glasgow city centre by way of the excellent train service from Balloch and the numerous sea lochs in the area are really worth exploring.

My fire lighting and fire stoking skills have really improved and we hope to invest in a wood burning stove in our own home within the very near future.
