9th – 16th August 2025

What a brilliant cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) and a fab base for a week full of activities. I have to say what a lovely clean cottage this is and such friendly welcome.

A brilliant week’s weather, even the odd bit of sunshine which is always a bonus. Our first family holiday with our nearly 1 year old, and what a holiday it’s been. Thank you for the stay. If your looking for a place to eat not too far away, Balloch House Hotel is a much recommended place.

Thanks again, we may see you again soon.

We have been very comfortable in this spacious accommodation (Glenfruin Lodge).  In a peaceful setting yet close to main roads, railway stations, a lovely town with useful shops and the stunning countryside.

The weather has been generally kind and we have had a very busy and delightful week.

We hope to be back again,

Dear Craig & Alison,

We enjoyed the time in your cosy cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).  We’d never been to Scotland before so we looked forward to discovering the countryside.

Now we can say that we absolutely fell in love with the landscape, especially with Loch Lomond and Conic Hill.

We will certainly come back soon.

Thanks so much!

Thank you Alison & Craig for another friendly welcome & a wonderful stay in cosy Crosskeys cottage.

We mostly dodged the rain to enjoy a few sections of the West Highland Way at a leisurely pace, making the most of the sunny spells we got!

There is nowhere better to retreat to than here, we enjoyed the spa bath, and a cosy place to read books and play board games.

Hope to see you again soon,

14th – 18th March 2026

We have had a lovely week here, cottage was ideal (Glenfruin Lodge), very cosy and well equipped.

Not surprisingly the weather wasn’t always on our side but a few recommendations:

– walk up Conic Hill – lovely views at the top even with a bit of rain and lots of wind.

– Three Loch forest drive – very picturesque.

– Loch Lomond sea life aquarium for a rainy day.

– Scalpsie bay on the Isle of Bute to see a seal colony – beautiful island.

– Pucks Glen for a gorgeous gorge walk.

Also strongly recommend Fruin Farm (opposite) for dinner, lovely food, great owners and staff.  Very accommodating of a noisy 9 month old.

A thoroughly enjoyable week, we will be back to explore more…

We will certainly be returning to complete unfinished business!

Thank you to you both.

17th – 24th May 2014

After a week on the east coast of Scotland at Stonehaven we enjoyed our week here at Crosskeys.  The landscapes are beautiful and so different.  We enjoyed Glencoe, Inverary Castle and Loch Lomond of course.  Even though it was far, we went to Loch Ness to see Nessie but no….  our son of 11 was looking for it with his binoculars!  We really enjoyed the cruise and our visit to Culloden battlefield.

Hope we come back one day…. Stephanie, Laurent, Valerie et Jonathan Petit, The Ardennes, France.

27th July – 3rd August 2019

Another great stay with Craig & Alison.
Brilliant hosts & great accommodation, can’t wait to come back !
Hopefully see you later in the year.
