Thank you for an enjoyable and comfortable stay in your spacious lodge.  We have had a relaxing week out and about meeting up with relatives living nearby in Helensburgh.

We both enjoy visiting gardens and particularly liked the immaculate one at Inverary Castle and garden.

Weather generally dry, with the odd heavy downpour but hasn’t stopped us enjoying our week.

Voor de eerste keer in Schotland, 1woord wauw!!! De locatie van de cottage was voor ons perfect vanaf hier konden we elke route op die we wilde. De cottage zelf is van alle gemaken voorzien en erg sfeervol, heerlijk om terug te komen na een lange dag buiten in de prachtige omgeving. Craig en alison ontzettend bedankt

For the first time in Scotland, 1 word wow !!! The location of the cottage was perfect for us from here we could pick up any route we wanted. The cottage itself is fully equipped and very attractive, wonderful to come back after a long day outside in the beautiful surroundings. Craig and alison really thank you

We only had a few days here but what a cosy cottage and so well placed for touring around the area.  Unfortunately the weather wasn’t really on our side but we had a lovely day on Sunday when we took a drive through Glen Fruin, up to Arrochar and then over to Loch Fyne and down Loch Eck.  A wonderful walk through Pucks Glen and a nice meal on the way home at the lovely Whistlefiled Inn – very reasonably priced too!

Thank you Craig and Alison for a lovely stay, just a shame it was too short.

We had a lovely time at this beautiful lodge.  We went to the sea life centre today – really enjoyed it!  We went walking almost every day – we went up Conic Hill, The Cobbler, Ben Lomond, Einn Narnan via Crasaon Naim Missaey (not of the unfit or feint hearted, certainly in November).

After our long wet walks we enjoyed coming home to the wonderful fire and the whirlpool bath.  We went to the Loch Lomond Hotel a lot for drinks which was really nice.

A wonderful location.  A big thank you to everyone for making us have a pleasant stay.

Many thanks,

the Gibson family, Sevenoaks, Kent

The cottage is beautifully maintained and decorated to the highest standard. It is a perfect base for exploring the area, and a welcome retreat to return to. Everything is provided to ensure that your stay is perfection, I would highly recommend a stay at The Crosskeys Cottage.

Quite simply superb! Like a second honeymoon!

We love Crosskeys cottage and so appreciated all the little touches – the well equipped kitchen (we only ate out twice), the amazing log fire, the gorgeous bathroom with its heated floor, the christmas decorations and the wee gifts made it all so magical and special. It really was a ‘home from home’ for us.

We stayed pretty local – walks, trips to Helensburgh – The Hill House (wow!). Thanks to Craig for giving us a lift to the Inn on Loch Lomond for our Hogmanay celebrations – it was truly memorable.

We went to Luss church for their 1st service of the year – lovely and welcoming.

We’d love to come back sometime.

Many, many thanks and all the very best for 2026 and beyond.
