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.

Our wee family came to Crosskeys Cottage for a birthday weekend and a wee retreat from our busy lives.
What we found when we arrived was a beautiful environment and a wonderful experience. Our stay has been faultless, Rupert has loved his time here and he will certainly miss all the smells, leaves, rocks and sticks !!
He has made loads of friends around the Loch.

Thank you for allowing us to stay, I am sure we will be back again !

Dear Craig & Alison,

Had a great stay at Crosskeys it is so wonderful here, the Cottage is so comfy and well situated for the city as well as the country.  Our German Shepherds, Missy & Max loved all the walks as did we.

We will certainly recommend Crosskeys to our friends and family, quite sad to be leaving tomorrow so thanks for a wonderful 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.

Regards, Kevin & Gui Tieran, Kent

To Craig & Alison,

Thank you very much for letting James, Lilly, Snoopy & I stay in your beautiful cottages.  We had a lovely week here and are sad to be going home!  We did some sight seeing whilst we were here and must say that Luss & Balloch Castle Country Park are lovely places to visit.

We will be recommending your cottage to friends & family looking to stay in the area, it is a great location for exploring the surrounding countryside.

Thanks again, Fliss & James, Lilly & Snoopy (our dogs).

16th – 23rd July 2016

We enjoyed our short break very much.  The cottage is very clean and comfortable (Crosskeys Cottage), and everything you could need was provided.

It’s a great location for site seeing too!

Thank you very much!

Dear Craig & Alison,

Thank you for a wonderful stay!  My sailor came home after a long period at sea, and Crosskeys Cottage gave him the perfect place to unwind and re-charge.  Absolutely perfect.  Can’t thank you enough.

Our second visit. Crosskeys Cottage is cosy and ideally placed for visits. Love Helensburgh. Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies – unbelieveable engineering. Rosneath Peninsula – dolphins in the loch, seals off Ardmore Point. Glenarn Gardens a riot of colour.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House, only 5 mins drive away – covered in a metal mesh ‘box’ but access to walkways all around the outside of the building and even above it, shows it’s desperate need for conservation. Another brilliant piece of engineering and very interesting – seeing parts of the building not normally seen and revealing the poor construction under the pebbledash.

Great week, now moving to Bute via Rest and be thankful and Ardkinglas Arboretum.
