Comments from our Guestbook

Very comfortable stay in the beautiful stone Crosskeys Cottage.
Hill House in Helensburgh was amazing & nice cafe. Went to Tarbet where you can pick up Loch Lomond cruises – but we hadn’t booked tickets beforehand…

Saw the Falls of Falloch (worth a visit) and stopped at a ‘haunted’ pub – The Drovers Inn – good food and beer (haggis, neeps & tatties). Visited Carrick Castle just past Lochgoilhead (a ruin) but what a peaceful spot with some lovely walks – Cormonachan Community Woodlands was a good walk.

Aberfoyle – nice river walk leads to ‘Rabbit Hill Nature Trail’ followed by lunch at ‘The Fairie Tree’ pub – lovely Cullen Skink soup! Then on to Loch Katrine where you can go on the steamship – but beware of the 3.15pm sailing as it only goes one way, as we discovered to our disappointment!

Inverary Castle is fantasic and the jail is worth a visit. Lots of places to eat & drink. We enjoyed great beer and food at The George.

Do go and see the wonderful 10 acre garden at Glenarn in Rhu – its very impressive and only £6 each!

Thank you to Alison & Craig for providing such a great place to stay and the dogs loved the garden!

Lovely facilities and so convieniant for local attractions.
A pleasure to stay here.

We’ve had a wonderful and very relaxing week here at Glenfruin Lodge.  It was a very special place in which to spend our ‘honeymoon’.  The card and sparkling wine were much appreciated on our arrival.

Despite the rain and fog in the early part of the week we enjoyed some beautiful drives and managed to get some walking in.

The Lodge is lovely and very comfortable and we’ve enjoyed some cosy nights in together.

Thanks for a great stay!

We’ve had a lovely time here – both exploring the area, and staying in by the fire and watching films.  This is such a lovely and comfortable cottage (Crosskeys) – feels like a home away from home.  You’ve provided everything we needed – including some gifts under the tree! We feel very welcomed.

We’ve managed to pack our few days full – a lovely, frosty walk in Arrochar (No. 15 in the book provided – definitely recommend!) followed by an accidental (but no less enjoyable) trip to Stirling to see the castle.

Today we went to Dumbarton Castle, then on to the Glengoyne Distillery – another definite! Followed by a stunning drive along the loch.

Thank you for such a lovely stay, I will definitely recommend you to friends and family, and will hope to be back to explore some more!

Thank you!
