Comments from our Guestbook

Glenfruin Lodge is very comfortable and well equipped. Everything worked, though with a few quirks, not unexpected in an old building (nothing that was a problem). Excellent location for hillwalking. Loved the afternoon sun trap garden. Alison came across soon after I arrived and was friendly and chatty. Will happily stay again.
Thanks folks. All went well and I got four days on the hill (only wet occasionally 😁). Will hopefully be back next year. Cheers.

What a brilliant cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) and a fab base for a week full of activities. I have to say what a lovely clean cottage this is and such friendly welcome.

A brilliant week’s weather, even the odd bit of sunshine which is always a bonus. Our first family holiday with our nearly 1 year old, and what a holiday it’s been. Thank you for the stay. If your looking for a place to eat not too far away, Balloch House Hotel is a much recommended place.

Thanks again, we may see you again soon.

8 days in January – escape from the city. We enjoyed a ‘home from home’ at Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage with our baby. Fell in love with Luss and the magical fairy trail (don’t need to pay for it!) and visited the sea life centre in Loch Lomond.

Thank you for our chocies – we have definately got a soft spot for Scotland.

We’ve had a lovely week here at Glen Fruin – Lodge perfect, log burning stove – Fabulous, views lovely also.  Will definitely recommend to family & friends.

We will very much regret leaving this wonderful Cottage, and will greatly miss cosying up in front of the lovely fire after a hard day out walking on the snowy hills. Luss is a lovely little village ( and nice and quiet in January ) and the hills behind gave great views over the Loch. However if weather permits we would highly recommend the Arrochar Alps. We managed to conquer Beinn Narnain on our last day and it was truly a hike to remember !!

Thank you Craig & Alison for the lovely welcome and hope all future guests enjoy their stay

We loved this cottage so much (Crosskeys Cottage) – it was just like home.  We had wonderful days out but just couldn’t wait to get back to light the fire!

This cottage has everything you need and last night we went out late as the Northern Lights were forecasted – 3 hours and nothing – never mind (Iceland, Finland & Scotland – no lights yet!).

Thanks again.

The Cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) is perfect for a relaxing break and we had a great week exploring the Trossachs.

Loch Katrine is beautiful and well worth walking around and Conic Hill gives amazing views of Loch Lomond.

We will definitely be back.  Thanks for a great week.

Craig & Alison , this place is so home from home.So relaxed and plenty to do if you go and look for it.

The loch is beautiful, lovely walks , out from morning till dusk.

We enjoyed our stay at Glenfruin Lodge which served as a perfect base and temporary home for visits to Glasgow, Loch Lomond, Conic Hill, Loch Katrine and more..
Temperatures and weather conditions (sun) were just perfect.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely, well appointed cottage. We knew the area and it was good to re-acquaint ourselves with Helensburgh, Loch Lomond etc.. All-in-all a very enjoyable week in this quiet spot.
