A lovely, charming, quaint cottage ideally located.  Peace, quiet, relaxation is what you get if it’s what you need.  It was great to come back to a place I haven’t been since the 70’s.

Loch Lomond is beautiful and you must go to the Birds of Prey centre (10 mins away) and if you walk up the lane from cottage you might catch a glimpse of a buzzard on his hunt.  We saw him 3-4 times, wonderful to see.

Another must is Glencoe and Fort William (or venture further on) the highlands are amazing.  Just a short drive to Luss and the Loch is just perfect – chill and peace.  You will get a lovely meal at the Loch Lomond Hotel and if you fancy ‘take away’ ‘indian meal’, then go to the ‘Akash’ in Helensburgh – on Sinclair street.  Lovely – we went twice!

It was great that we could bring our dog ‘Jake’ – he loved it also.  Would love to come back and encourage friends and family to do the same.

Thanks for a lovely time.

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.

I sat in the garden with a cuppa and had a read of your guest book.  I so agree with everyone, the Lodge is a great place to stay.  Watch out for the wildlife first thing in the morning, I got some good photos.

I don’t really like cats but when you meet Shadow he wins you over.  He came and sat at the table, a good sun spot.

I came here to chill and switch off and I did, I had a great time and loved the bath!

Thank you so much for the little touches, the flowers made it feel like home.

Hope to be back again.

Lovely little cottage done to a high spec. Few miles outside Helensburgh, so great to explore the Loch and surrounding area. Craig and family perfect hosts.

We have had a fantastic stay at Glenfruin Lodge.  Absolutely everything has been thought of to make it a comfortable stay.

The location is excellent for exploring.  A big thank you to Craig and Alison for the gifts & card under the beautifully decorated christmas tree – a lovely touch.  Perfection at its finest

We had a lovely time here at Crosskeys in Glenfruin Lodge and were made to feel very welcome.  The Lodge was very modern and ideal for a week’s stay.  The whirlpool bath was an added bonus.

We visited Stirling and Glasgow (train from Balloch) as well as taking a boat trip on nearby Loch Lomond.
