Comments from our Guestbook

We have really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, comfortable cottage (Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage), which had everything we needed for a care free holiday. It is perfectly positioned for exploring – a super walk in Balloch Country Park and a sail on Loch Lomond, exploring the scenic routes down to Dunoon (great views at ‘Rest and be thankful’) and the absolutely stunning Hill House in Helensburgh.

Thank you for your hospitality!

My partner brought me here for a treat, for my Birthday and I could not have asked for a more perfect present.
We have loved staying in this Cottage. The Cottage is well kept, the bed is unbelievably comfy and the view is incredible. We have loved exploring and having such a gorgeous warm and comforting house to come home to.

Thank you for having us !!!

CrossKeys was super clean, cosy and comfortable. We felt very much at home. A great cottage for a Winter rest, and a good location to explore the scenic areas around Loch Lomond. We really appreciated the festive touches too.

Thank you Alison & Craig for a really wonderful stay at Crosskeys cottage. This wee cottage was perfect, very well equipped and very comfortable. We had wonderful weather all week and couldn’t have wished for a better part of the world to stay in.

Thanks to your tips Alison, we went to Luss, Loch Katerine, Oban, Loch Awe and Conic Hill (love a smaller walk with great views!). The dog loved the outdoor space too.

Best of luck with all the summer ahead and hopefully see you again!

What an amazing place perfect base for us and very welcoming.

Visited many areas of Loch Lomond, Luss, Balloch and love Balmaha. Walked up Conic Hill which was a challenge but amazing views across the loch. Ferry over to Inchcailloch island which was lovely giving different views of the loch (food at The Royal Oak was lovely).
Helensburgh was great to visit and amazing gelato at Vanilla and stroll along the front.

Perfect spot, will definitely revisit.

We’ve had a lovely few days at Glenfruin Lodge and we have been lucky with the weather considering the time of year.

We had a beautiful walk around the banks of Loch Katrine and a village walk around Luss which was very pretty.  We drove through dramatic views to Inverary and stopped at Loch Fyne for a delicious lunch of oysters, mussels and smoked salmon.  It has been wonderful to return to the comfortable and cosy lodge each evening.

Thank you for a lovely break, hopefully we’ll be back soon.

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.

A week of bliss just chillin… hectic work life.  Glenfruin Lodge was lovely.  Would recommend ‘La Barca’ restaurant in Helensburgh for lunch, but plenty of eating options round about.

The coast drive through Rhu past the sea lochs is worth it.

Hope to come back, Mr & Mrs Aitken, Dalrympe, Ayrshire

What a charming cottage, everything you could need.

Arrived to a storm on Saturday, but by Monday couldn’t wish for better weather for touring round Loch Lomond.

Will definitely be back.
