We were able to stay in Glenfruin Lodge for a few days, great accommodation.
Also, the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
A great place from where you can explore the area.

Thanks, Maria & Klass, Holland

We’ve had a lovely week in this well appointed and comfortable cottage (Crosskeys Cottage). Alison and Craig have been very welcoming and helpful.

Crosskeys is so well situation for exploring this part of Scotland, especially Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Our excursion on the steamer ‘Sir Walter Scott’ on Loch Katrine worked brilliantly helped by some sunny weather.

Supermarkets in Helensburgh and Balloch were easily accessible where we could buy everything we needed for meals. Maisie, our labrador was equally content!

A great visit and one we would love to repeat at some stage.

A refreshing break after 2 years of restrictions.
Recommend: dramatic Dumbarton Castle but be aware, 500+ steps to the top. Rosneath peninsula from Cove car park you can see right the way to Bute and Arran. Serene landscape around Milarochy Bay on the far side of Loch Lomond (with spotless toilets too!).

Moving on to Bute for our next week, hoping to go up to Rest and Be Thankful if road open, and Arkinglas Arboretum (Champion trees), and round to the ferry at Colintrave.

Only one lazy wet day, spent reading, paint and writing (Dennis is an author). We’ve had a fun week.

Thank you so much for letting us book your gorgeous, cosy little cottage (Crosskeys cottage) so last minute.  It was perfect for the quiet, relaxed mini break we wanted to bring in the new year.  The Christmas decorations were also a lovely touch.

We didn’t do much exploring of the local area, but the sealife centre is worth a visit for a few hours and has a lovely view of Loch Lomond from the café.

Wishing everyone every happiness for 2018!

What a lovely week we’ve had! Crosskeys Cottage is delightful, comfortable and a well-equipped cottage, so convenient for the loch.

Luss is lovely – and a great swim spot – I’ve really enjoyed the surprisingly warm water.

We visited the magnificent Kelpies (nr Grangemouth) and the impressive Stirling Castle, looked over the Falls of Falloch and walked through the woodlands at Crianlarich. The cruise around the loch was lovely, and the short walk along the West Highland Way from Balmaha to Milarochy was glorious – with a sunny swim from one of the beaches there. We’ve had fantastic weather and the view from Beinn Dubh (Luss) was worth the aching legs!!

Balloch Castle Park is also worth walking round, with coffee and cake from the slipway kiosk.

Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage.

Had a lovely time, seen so much and been to so many places all have been good.  Glenfruin Lodge has been great, everything we need and great bath.

Craig & Alison have been lovely, even the visits from Maisie the cat, they work so hard to make the place nice for us – thanks.  We hope to return.

Had a great week at Glenfruin Lodge, lots of adventures. Ate at Fruin Farm Restaurant which is just the other side of the roundabout outside the cottage.  Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful cottage, thank you.

Thank you very much, we have really enjoyed our stay in your cottage.

The Cottage is delightful, with lots of lovely touches.  Everything is to hand and nothing has been left out (even poo bags for the dogs!).  The surrounding area is fantastic with stunning views around every corner.

We will be back again as soon as possible.
