Welcome to Crosskeys Loch Lomond

Lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge), very comfortable and well placed for visiting the areas around it.

Enjoyed a speedboat trip on the Loch and a drive to Inveraray.

Many thanks to our hosts.

Another very relaxing week at Crosskeys, we have been coming here for many years and it is a real “home from home”
Whilst there is plenty to see locally, Glenfruin is ideally situated for trips farther afeild. to the west we have Inveraray , Lochgilphead and Oban are all well worth a visit.
We also visited the re opened Burrell Collection in Glasgow, having previously been there 8/9 years ago the refurbishment and increase in inter active displays was certainly impressive.
Thanks again Alison & Craig for helping us have a great holiday.

After a week on the east coast of Scotland at Stonehaven we enjoyed our week here at Crosskeys.  The landscapes are beautiful and so different.  We enjoyed Glencoe, Inverary Castle and Loch Lomond of course.  Even though it was far, we went to Loch Ness to see Nessie but no….  our son of 11 was looking for it with his binoculars!  We really enjoyed the cruise and our visit to Culloden battlefield.

Hope we come back one day…. Stephanie, Laurent, Valerie et Jonathan Petit, The Ardennes, France.

Cosy, comfortable Crosskeys Cottage. Ideal for our short stay in Loch Lomond. Warm welcome from Craig and Alison. Highlights of our short stay – Conic Hill, its steep but worth it, amazing views. Duncryne (dumpling) trail, much less steep but also very nice views over the Loch. Aber shore RSPB trail to the Loch absolutely beautiful this time of year with the bluebells, a very peaceful walk. Lussfor a pleasant stroll and Helensburgh for sunset over the hills. Finally a coffee or glass of something at Duck Bay a perfect way to finish your day sitting onthe terrace watching the swifts under the pontoon and listening to the oyster catchers.

All of the above dog friendly and much enjoyed by us too.

Thanks, very much enjoyed our stay, Neil, Deb, Dooley & Davy (woof)

We came here for our honeymoon, the Lodge was perfect, great area, nice and quiet with access to plenty of different places.

The Lodge is lovely and spacious.  We have really enjoyed our time here.

Thank you for a wonderful, peaceful break.

We would definitely come again and recommend to friends.

We love the Cottage and the weather was dry most of the time which meant we could do plenty of walking, especially around Loch Lomond.

We went to Luss and Balmaha where we ended up climbing Conic Hill due to taking a wrong turning on the forest trail!  It was a tough climb but well worth it for the views across Loch Lomond.  We also did a lot of walking along the West Highland Way and visited Rowardennan and climbed Ben Lomond.

We walked from the cottage into Helensburgh and back and looked around the area into Glen Fruin along the road at the back of the cottage.  We have eaten out everyday with no complaints.  We wanted a walking/hiking holiday and that’s what we got, spending whole days doing just that.

The scenery of Scotland is beautiful and we have enjoyed every minute here.  A wonderful holiday, wish we could stay longer.

The nicest roundabout we have ever stayed on!! we loved the Cottage – really comfortable and clean.
A great place to explore the area, we did quite a bit of walking so the bath was great for aching legs !!

Thank you Craig & Alison
Best wishes

We have thoroughly enjoyed staying here in this beautiful cottage! (Crosskeys Cottage).

We had lunch in our favourite pub in Balmaha – The Oak Tree – lovely food, lovely service and dog friendly!
We had a drive up to Millarrochy Bay which is a beautiful spot, and also a drive down to Greenock for a walk along the esplanade. We also had a walk around Luss, one of our favourite spots, very picturesque and the addition of the new distillery was great – we can recommend going there for coffee and cake.

We will certainly recommend this cottage to everyone and will hopefully be back ourselves too!

Thank you, Laura, Chris and Otis (the sausage dog!)

Our second visit. Crosskeys Cottage is cosy and ideally placed for visits. Love Helensburgh. Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies – unbelieveable engineering. Rosneath Peninsula – dolphins in the loch, seals off Ardmore Point. Glenarn Gardens a riot of colour.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House, only 5 mins drive away – covered in a metal mesh ‘box’ but access to walkways all around the outside of the building and even above it, shows it’s desperate need for conservation. Another brilliant piece of engineering and very interesting – seeing parts of the building not normally seen and revealing the poor construction under the pebbledash.

Great week, now moving to Bute via Rest and be thankful and Ardkinglas Arboretum.

You had me at Tunnocks !!
What a GORGEOUS little Cottage. Everything we needed and more.
Loved the heated floor in the bathroom !!!
So much to explore, some beautiful walking in Luss, Balloch Country Park was stunning.
A stroll along the promenade in Helensburgh was lovely. Highlight for me was the Hill House.
Our pup Bruce enjoyed all the fun smells and long walks.
Thanks for having us !!
