Has to be one of the cosiest cottages we have stayed in.  We have had a fantastic time visiting what can only be described as a beautiful part of the world.  We sadly had to cut our holiday short, but I think we will be back again.

Lovely place to stay, real value for money.  Great location for venturing out.

Can recommend Doune Castle (Near Stirling) for the Monty Python fans; followed by an outstanding meal at Deanston Distillery.  Hill House is a must for Charles Rennie Mackintosh fans.

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.

Fab little place – central to pretty much everywhere. Had a trip over to Isle of Arran to walk up Goatfell, drove up to Oban via the Arrachar Alps and the Rest & Be Thankful.
Sadly the weather wasn’t as good as I hoped so munro bagging went out of the window which allowed for visits to Luss, Balmaha and the inevitable visit in the torrential rain to Glencoe.

Thanks to Alison & Craig for their attention to detail.

There is not a single negative thing to say about our stay – We have LOVED our time in the Crosskeys Cottage so much, we are so sad to be leaving! The decor is so lovely and homey, the bed is especially comfy and some of the best sleep we have had for a while!

It’s been the perfect spot for all our exploring around the Lochs and mountains and the cosiest place to return to after a hiking day!

Our boy Jango (dog) has also loved it here and made himself at home, we think he is sadder than us to leave!

Thank you for a perfect stay!

We have enjoyed a lovely stay at Glenfruin Lodge – the weather has been beautifully cold, crisp and sunny with frosty mornings.

The warm & cosy lodge has been perfect after cold days!  We would thoroughly recommend a trip to see pucks Glen near Dunoon – a magical gorge walk.

Thank you for providing this great place to stay.

Favourite walks

If the outdoors is your thing then there are mountains in abundance to suit all levels of walkers. Ben Lomond, Scotland’s most southerly Monroe (a mountain over 3,000ft high), just one of 283 in Scotland.  Starting point is at Rowerdennan on the east side of loch lomond.  Well worth it for the views of Loch Lomond as you […]
