Had a wonderful stay in this cosy, comfortable (Crosskeys) cottage. A perfect base to access all around Loch Lomond. We enjoyed visiting/walking in lots of new places – Balloch Country park, Luss, Glen Branter, Doon Hill Fairy Walk in Aberfoyle, the Waterfall at Bracklinn Falls and Glen Fruin. If walking in Glen Branter we would recommend following the ‘yellow route’ to see the waterfalls. Our dog ‘Flo’ (Beagle/Jack cross) had a great time exploring!
There is so much we haven’t managed to do that we would love to come back and would definitely keep this cottage in mind.
Thank you!
