Thank you Alison and Craig for a wonderful stay in Glenfruin Lodge. It was so cosy and comfortable with everything we needed to make our stay special. We enjoyed our trips to Oban, Inverary and Balloch with a special mention to Auchindrian (historical scottish hamlet) – well worth a visit.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, Alison & Craig for a wonderful stay. The Lodge is beautiful , warm and inviting.
We cannot wait to come back, we have had a wonderful week exploring and what a way to spend our first week in Scotland !! The views are out of this world, we had no bad experiences, even on rainy days.
We visited Glen Coe, Fort William, Ben Nevis and all the surrounding Loch Lomond areas.
We visited Glasgow for one night, just do not want to go home, our next trip will be for a longer period for sure!!
An excellent base to travel from.
Hope to see you soon

Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenfuin Lodge.  The lodge is very well equipped, perfect location and a warm and friendly welcome from Alison & Craig made for a perfect stay.

Enjoyed some great walks – Ben A’an, Ardmore Peninsula, Conic Hill and Stronachlachar and Loch Arklet.  Had a day trip to Glasgow, visited The Tenement and Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery.  Here in Helensburgh we spent a morning at Hill House (a National Trust property) designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh – really enjoyed seeing the design and architecture of this period.  Took a road trip up Loch Lomond – fantastic.  Would recommend La Barca in Helensburgh – really tasty Spanish Tapas.  A great holiday, further enhanced by fantastic weather.

Thank you very much for another great time in Loch Lomond – Crosskeys cottage is a super place: warm, comfortable, cosy and with the snow plough on the doorstep – snow is not a problem and from the cottage there is just such a fantastic lot of options.

We will be back again and maybe see Inverary in sunshine!  We also still have a bit more of the east shore of Loch Lomond to walk!

Many thanks again for all your kindness.

Thank you Alison & Craig for a really wonderful stay at Crosskeys cottage. This wee cottage was perfect, very well equipped and very comfortable. We had wonderful weather all week and couldn’t have wished for a better part of the world to stay in.

Thanks to your tips Alison, we went to Luss, Loch Katerine, Oban, Loch Awe and Conic Hill (love a smaller walk with great views!). The dog loved the outdoor space too.

Best of luck with all the summer ahead and hopefully see you again!
