Comments from our Guestbook

Thank you so much for your hospitality and good care!
We’ve enjoyed the comfort of Crosskeys Cottage: we wanted for nothing.
It is a perfect base for exploring the area around Loch Lomond & Glasgow. What a beautiful area!
We’ve had a fantastic week.

Lovely cottage (Crosskeys Cottage), good base to take trips from.  Bird of prey centre well worth a visit & Hill House superb.  Made our annual pilgrimage up to Glen Coe – Piper still there even in the rain.

Glenfruin Lodge is a wonderful, cosy, comfortable and luxurious cottage.  We have had a fantastic 4 days here.  Glorious weather, cycling along Loch Lomond, fantastic scenery with autumn colours reflected everywhere.

Took a boat trip on the loch which was very relaxing.  We couldn’t have asked for a better holiday.

Hope to return in the future as so much more to see and do!

We also have had a lovely time in this beautiful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) and we have slept like ‘logs’ in the huge comfy bed.  As we are not walkers we found that there was still plenty to do.  A drive up to Tyndrum to the Green Wellie was spectacular but beware, the RAF practice their low flying up there as we found out when a Hercules Carrier buzzed our heads only a couple of hundred feet above us, but to watch them go by was amazing.

As for eating out we found that the Queen of the Loch does a nice carvery and also theme nights.  Glenfruin Farm across the road does a really nice breakfast, a little dear but well worth the money.

Loch Lomond (the shores) is a nice place to shop – House of Fraser, Regatta etc..  Henry Bell (Wetherspoons pub) in Helensburgh is also ok to eat (cheap & cheerful).  Also got train into Glasgow, 2 return tickets for £14 from Helensburgh Central.

We sincerely hope to return.

A beautiful clean and cosy Cottage ( feels like home ) !!
We loved visiting Helensburgh, Stirling and Falkirk, not forgetting Luss and Loch Lomond.
Enclosed garden was perfect for our two Spaniels Murphy & Millie.

Had a great stay with very mixed weather. Had everything we needed in the Lodge, could not have asked for more.
Recommend eating out at The Riverhill Courtyard in Helensburgh. We enjoyed many walks including Conic Hill, also liked The Hill House and Inveraray Castle. Luss is a beautiful village busy by day but we had the beach and the jetty to ourselves in the evening. Callandar and the Crag walk including a visit to the falls was also memorable.

Thank you

W e have had a most spectacular week, started off climbing Ben Nevis and have ached for the rest of the week
but well worth it for the views. Glencoe mountain range was exceptionally magical, chairlift to the top walk , climb the rest breath taking views. Highlight of our week was a Ferry from Oban, exploring the islands and accompanied by around 60 Dolphins magical. I think we have walked and climbed the surrounding area , it has been heaven.

The Cottage is a wonderful place to stay with everything you need and much more.
Thank you very much

We spent our honeymoon here, in this beautiful little cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).
Loch Lomond is magical, especially when approached on foot via the RSPB site just down the road past Balloch. Stunning views and lots of wildlife to see. I’m still convinced the bird we saw behind the cottage was a Golden Eagle, way too large for a buzzard.

Thank you Alison & Craig for making the cottage so cosy and restful, we have loved every minute of our stay and hope to be back again in the future.

Best wishes from Rachel, Richard & Juno (woof)

Our second Christmas here at Crosskeys.

Thanks Alison & Craig for the tasteful christmas decorations and the lovely gifts under the Christmas tree.  Delightful touches!

Have again enjoyed our stay despite the constant rain, although this morning dawned bright and sunny and we walked the dogs up through the Glen.  Pair of Golden Eagles spotted!

Looking for ways to visit in mid summer, will check our diary!

Thanks again, Jim, Frances and Kelly, Barney & Echo!
