Our first visit to Scotland and WOW what a great place. Glenfruin cottage is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. It has everything needed for a great week away. We walked 52 miles in total with the biggest achievement ‘Ben Lomond’.

Thank you Craig & Alison, we’d love to stay again when we’re back up this way.

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.

We enjoyed our stay here very much.  The Lodge is very comfortable and a perfect retreat.

Only the weather wasn’t very kind this week.

Finding Glenfruin Lodge was easy and on entering it we were delighted with the high standard that met us!

The bath is to die for and every evening soaking in a bubbling spa bath was bliss.

We have been lucky with the weather and had some great days out.  Our visit to Loch Ness was well worth the long journey and the views through Glencoe and Ben Nevis spectacular!  Our cruise on the loch was lovely, but unfortunately no sightings of Nessie!

Stirling Castle is well worth a visit and I personally think it’s better than Edinburgh Castle!

A cruise on Loch Lomond is lovely & take a walk through Balloch Castle Country park – the views are amazing.

As you can tell we loved it here and would definitely return.

Having lived for several years in an old (and cold) farm cottage in this area, we can appreciate the effort that must have gone into making Crosskeys Cottage the lovely wee house it now is.  A great base for visiting old friends.

“Fabulous, low-key, but characterful charm. The owners were right next door, never in our space but reassuringly there. They were relaxed about us having a dog, but we would always be respectful when in other people’s property. Loch Lomond is on the doorstep with all that amazing beauty. But special for me was seeing the Charles Rennie Macintosh’s designed house….Hill House on the outskirts of Helensburgh. All in all l would not hesitate in recommending this property to any of our nearest and dearest. Thankyou Alison for looking after us.”
