Thank you very much, we have really enjoyed our stay in your cottage.

The Cottage is delightful, with lots of lovely touches.  Everything is to hand and nothing has been left out (even poo bags for the dogs!).  The surrounding area is fantastic with stunning views around every corner.

We will be back again as soon as possible.

Wonderful stay in a wonderful part of the country. thanks for a beautifully appointed cottage.

Thanks for having us!

Well we really enjoyed our long weekend, so welcomed by Alison & Craig.

The Lodge was very well equipped, excellent location, loved the peace & quiet but handy enough to get to the hustle & bustle also.

Hope to visit again soon and will be sure to let others know about this little haven…

Thanks again Alison & Craig!

Quite simply superb! Like a second honeymoon!

We love Crosskeys cottage and so appreciated all the little touches – the well equipped kitchen (we only ate out twice), the amazing log fire, the gorgeous bathroom with its heated floor, the christmas decorations and the wee gifts made it all so magical and special. It really was a ‘home from home’ for us.

We stayed pretty local – walks, trips to Helensburgh – The Hill House (wow!). Thanks to Craig for giving us a lift to the Inn on Loch Lomond for our Hogmanay celebrations – it was truly memorable.

We went to Luss church for their 1st service of the year – lovely and welcoming.

We’d love to come back sometime.

Many, many thanks and all the very best for 2026 and beyond.

Having taken a couple of overnight stops to get here, we were really pleased to arrive at this lovely cottage, and have a warm welcome.  There is so much to see and do that we will have to come back and would happily stay at Crosskeys again!

We intended to spend one day in Glasgow but with so many places to visit (particularly as big Charles Rennie Mackintosh fan!) we had to go back for a second day.  Recommend the sight seeing tour and take the train in – it is quick and good value.  Inveraray is worth a visit, lovely small town and the castle is impressive.  Oban is also worth a visit and Genfinnan monument.

All in all we had a great week here!

Dear Alison, Craig & Shadow…

Thank you for an amazing place to stay while we explored the beautiful west coast.

I am from Balloch but my partner is a London boy, so it was lovely to have the Lodge so close to everything yet peaceful & remote.

Can’t believe you can’t hear the road from the garden…  Shadow popped by a few times, especially when he realised we had ham in the fridge!

We will certainly be back.
