Enjoyed our stay in Crosskeys Cottage.  Weather could have been kinder to us, but we still got out and about and visited some lovely places.

Many thanks,

Our third stay in the Cottage (our very first visit, we stayed in the Lodge). We love staying here.
As well as visiting old favourites, we found new things to do. We finally achieved our walk up Ben Goeb from Luss. A challenge but we made it! We did our fantastic Edinburgh Tattoo, driving to the Park ‘n’ Ride at Hermiston. We took a ferry across to the Isle of Bute from Wemyss, where we visited Mount Stuart and took a train from Balloch to Partick to visit the Riverside Museum – an amazing place and free entry. We also visited the Tall Ship while there.
We went across to Inchmurrin island on both friday’s by ferry and enjoyed a lovely meal in the Restaurant. Luss is as lovely as ever and we took the ferry across to Inchcailloch island with stunning views and enjoyed our picnic and paddle in Loch Lomond.

Alison & Craig, thank you once again for letting us stay in the cottage.
Still loads to come back for…

A lovely long weekend in a wonderful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  Great location and very cosy on rainy autumn nights.

Our 5 year old daughter especially loved the visit from ‘Maisie’ the cat and the ‘fairy stream’ at the bottom of the garden.

We organised a break here just a day or so before arriving.  We were due to fly to New Zealand on Friday 19th Oct but had to cancel at the 11th hour.  Our visit here was to allow us to get away, help get over the disappointment of not going to New Zealand and to help us recharge our batteries for challenges ahead.  Glenfruin Lodge has played a pivotol role in helping us unwind, enjoy a good sleep and celebrate our great love for each other.  The Lodge is beautiful, relaxing and everthing we needed at this moment.

Thank you for allowing us to stay here at such short notice.  The break has been perfect for us… the right place at the right time.

Another two great weeks here at Crosskeys.  Visiting family in Helensburgh and Stirling and enjoying the fantastic Scottish countryside.  The Lodge is great and is becoming our second home… will be back soon.

Well we really enjoyed our long weekend, so welcomed by Alison & Craig.

The Lodge was very well equipped, excellent location, loved the peace & quiet but handy enough to get to the hustle & bustle also.

Hope to visit again soon and will be sure to let others know about this little haven…

Thanks again Alison & Craig!

Had a fabulous stay in Glenfuin Lodge over Christmas, our hosts were wonderful as always.

Cottage was full of Christmas cheer and all the home comforts you could want – stay just wasn’t long enough.

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!
