Comments from our Guestbook

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.

Our first visit to Scotland and WOW what a great place. Glenfruin cottage is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. It has everything needed for a great week away. We walked 52 miles in total with the biggest achievement ‘Ben Lomond’.

Thank you Craig & Alison, we’d love to stay again when we’re back up this way.

We had a wonderful time staying at Crosskeys, in Glenfruin Lodge. The cottage was absolutely perfect and really was a home from home.

We had a fantastic time vising the beautiful Loch Lomond area which provided so many scenic places to see. We travelled as far north as Fort William which included the stunning scenery of Glencoe. We also took the train from Helensburgh across to Edinburgh for the day. We visited the Royal Yacht Britannia which was fantastic.

Thank you to Alison & Craig for the use of your beautiful cottage and I am sure we will be back.

A wonderful stay in a fabulous cottage.  We did lots of exploring and visited castles, gardens, and the Island of Bute, saw stunning mountains, lochs, waterfalls and met some lovely friendly people.

Thank you Alison and Craig.

Wonderful cosy Cottage, well presented and everything you nee for the perfect stay.
Our Hosts Alison & Craig are warm and friendly, nothing too much trouble.

Crosskeys Cottage is ideally situated for Loch Lomond, Helensburgh , Stirling and Arrochar, including Oban, Fort William and Inveraray. The weather has been fantastic, although I don’t mind the rain, after all that is what makes Argyll & Bute so lush and green.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return

This Lodge was cosy and comfortable.  A good location for visiting our relatives in Balloch.

Visited Balmaha and took in some lovely walks round the loch.  Duck Bay Marina was perfect for a family meal overlooking the loch.

Had a lovely holiday with our wee Westie (Mollie).  It was a great place to see some family we have in Glasgow, and went through Glencoe, the weather has been beautiful.

Crosskeys Cottage is so homely and the fire was a delight.

Thank you.
