First New Year at Crosskeys, had a great wee break.

The Cottage is stunning and homely, great walks for my black Lab ‘pepsi’ and time to recharge the batteries after a hectic year.

Thank you so much Alison & Craig for the gifts under the tree they were lovely and much appreciated.

Would definitely come back for another stay.

Thank you so very much.

We had a lovely holiday at Glenfruin Lodge – such a beautiful area. We particularly enjoyed boat trips on Loch Lomond & Loch Katrine, we love Luss & Balmaha and had a tour round some of the Trossachs National Park.

A great place to stay!

Our first visit to Scotland, travelling from Kent to see our son who has moved to Saltcoats.  We had one beautiful sunny day visiting all around Loch Lomond, saw some waterfalls.  We spent a day in Saltcoats – wet and cold, but we imagine the beach to be lovely in the summer.  A lovely cosy cottage (Crosskeys Cottage), everything you need.

Would definitely visit again.

We’ve had a lovely week – thank you.

Lovely, comfortable and cosy cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  The bed is enormous and very sleep inducing.  The weather has been very kind to us and we’ve both picked up some sun on our last day.

Recommend a visit to Balloch Castle Country Park – take a picnic if the weather’s good.  The views of Loch Lomond are lovely.  Glasgow by train from Helensburgh is good value £6.70 return & free parking too.  The Hill House is worth a visit also.  The Oak Inn in Balmaha does good food & beer.
