Comments from our Guestbook

Thank you so much for a lovely stay.
The Cottage is so cozy and clean, had everything we needed.
We were very comfy and Candy & Bramble loved lounging in front of the wood burner.
We were lucky to get some sunshine and to get out for some great walks too.

Thank you

Many thanks for the use of this wonderful Cottage (Crosskeys cottage) for the 2 weeks, everything that you need for a home from home, couldn’t be better.

Would like the chance to stay again in the future, hoping for better weather.

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.

Dear Craig & Alison

We really enjoyed our honeymoon here in Crosskeys.  Had a lovely time exploring Loch Lomond and all of it’s surroundings.  Your cosy cottage has surely done it’s part in making this a perfect holiday.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done and until we maybe meet again!

We have enjoyed our stay here in this lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage), despite the weather! It’s been very comfortable and has all we needed. We explored the area which is very beautiful and plenty to see and do.
Inveraray Castle is well worth a visit as was Hill House in Helensburgh and Luss Village.

Thank you for having us to share this super cottage.

“Fabulous, low-key, but characterful charm. The owners were right next door, never in our space but reassuringly there. They were relaxed about us having a dog, but we would always be respectful when in other people’s property. Loch Lomond is on the doorstep with all that amazing beauty. But special for me was seeing the Charles Rennie Macintosh’s designed house….Hill House on the outskirts of Helensburgh. All in all l would not hesitate in recommending this property to any of our nearest and dearest. Thankyou Alison for looking after us.”

We’ve had such a lovely week staying at this beautiful cottage. Such a comfortable place to stay with everything so tastefully decorated and equipped with all you could possibly need… and more!

We visited Loch Lomond, Luss and Arrochar; took a train trip on the West Highland Line to Oban (stunning scenery) and had a great fish lunch; but the highlight was going to Inverary on the loveliest sunny day and climbing the hill to the folly at the top – the views were breath taking and the bluebells throughout the woodlands beautiful.

We will definitely recommend this lovely place!

The Cottage is as comfortable as it is picturesque. All the amenities you could ask for, plus some extra thoughtful touches. A great base from which to explore the surrounding area, and cosy enough to enjoy a night in with the fire a book or some tv.
