Comments from our Guestbook

We had a lovely family holiday here.  The lodge is in a good central location for visiting all the nearby lochs.

There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the website and therefore we did not bring a high chair, however the owner very kindly went and bought one the following day for us.  The bed is very comfortable (hotel quality) and was very well equipped, it was a shame we didn’t get to sit in the garden because of the weather.

Lots of nice picnic locations nearby, I recommend Balmaha.

We have enjoyed a fantastic week! This was our first visit to this part of Scotland, and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

The cottage is very comfortable, clean, and enjoys a fantastic location.  We would thoroughly recommend exploring Luss, Firkin Point and Balloch Country Park.

If you feel like venturing a little further afield, then a walk through Glen Coe is an absolute must!

A perfect place to spend a week, and somewhere we would look forward to staying again.

I have had a fabulous week staying at Crosskeys Cottage.  Such a charming cottage with fab features and lovely décor!  I have well and truly fallen in love with the cottage and the area, just wish I didn’t have to go home tomorrow…

Thanks Craig for lending me your wok to cook my clams from Loch Fyne, they were delish.  Places to go – I really recommend ‘Pucks Glen’ near Dunoon.  Loch Fyne restaurant.  Fruin Farm Restaurant (over the road from here) also does a lovely breakfast.  Inverary is lovely too as is the most amazing views on the drive up there.

Thanks again and hope to be back soon!

What a find this turned out to be – couldn’t believe our luck.

Well appointed, parking space for at least 2 cars & the cottage itself tastefully decorated with a super shower & spacious double bedroom.  I am also told that the sofa bed was very comfy too.  The piece de resistance though, the wood burner in the sitting room.  It was so cosy I’m surprised we left the cottage, but we checked out the Lomond Arms Hotel in Luss and the Duck Bay Marina near Balloch.

We also had a walk around the grounds of Cameron House Hotel and watched the sea plane head off to the Kyles of Bute.  We also watched the birds of prey demonstration that was presented at Cameron House too.

As we didn’t have to travel far, we had no issues with the weather or commuting on work days (for some!) and would recommend this pretty cottage with it’s great amenities and locale to everyone we meet.

Thanks a million – loved it!

Lovely cottage, very cosy and loved the fire!

Very close to most of the landmarks and a lot of beautiful walks around the area.  Local towns are very friendly and inviting.

What a lovely welcome to the Lodge. It is so warm and cosy
and watching the Pheasants from the window in the morning
was an added bonus.
The owners are extremely helpful ,I loved the freshness of the bedroom.
My husband enjoyed the oval bath and Jacuzzi.
