Comments from our Guestbook

This was a lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) and we would definitely stay here again when back in Scotland.

Craig & Alison – if you do ever make it to Banff to ski, we’d be happy to show you around Calgary.

Thank you very much for hosting us in your lovely cottage! Had a great time – Crosskeys Cottage was very nice and warm.
Going swimming the morning we leave in Loch Lomond, so writing this message already a little scared of the cold!
Cottage was great – very cosy fire and comfy bed.

Thank you again for having us – we hope to come again.

All the best, Stan & Hannah

Had a lovely holiday with our wee Westie (Mollie).  It was a great place to see some family we have in Glasgow, and went through Glencoe, the weather has been beautiful.

Crosskeys Cottage is so homely and the fire was a delight.

Thank you.

Smashing time, many thanks.

ps Don’t miss a visit to Inchcalloch island, ferry is £5.00 return from Balmaha.  Also views of Loch Lomond from the ‘Dumpling’ in Gartocharn are even better than Conic Hill and a much easier walk!

18th – 25th May 2019

Thank you so much Craig & Alison for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge). We really enjoyed our stay and we really liked you two and your Scottish humour!

Take care and see you in Scotland.

What an amazing place perfect base for us and very welcoming.

Visited many areas of Loch Lomond, Luss, Balloch and love Balmaha. Walked up Conic Hill which was a challenge but amazing views across the loch. Ferry over to Inchcailloch island which was lovely giving different views of the loch (food at The Royal Oak was lovely).
Helensburgh was great to visit and amazing gelato at Vanilla and stroll along the front.

Perfect spot, will definitely revisit.

Our first visit to Scotland, travelling from Kent to see our son who has moved to Saltcoats.  We had one beautiful sunny day visiting all around Loch Lomond, saw some waterfalls.  We spent a day in Saltcoats – wet and cold, but we imagine the beach to be lovely in the summer.  A lovely cosy cottage (Crosskeys Cottage), everything you need.

Would definitely visit again.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay in little Crosskeys Cottage we’ve had a fantastic time and it was lovely to come back to
this beautiful cottage after a long day exploring and adventuring to relax and prepare for the next day.
We had a fantastic travelling around Loch Lomond and the Cottage really is in the perfect place for getting around.

We hope to be back soon

Another wonderful week spent at Crosskeys Lodge. As before we combined walking and catching up with family (and even managed to get some work done..). Enjoyed the variety of walks to Criagendorran area and around the Loch. Becoming familiar with the John Muir Way and Three Lochs Way. Disappointed that the sea plane trip on the Loch was cancelled but we’ll do it next time.

Look forward to our next visit, Allison & Rob Noel (North Yorkshire)
