Fantastic little place, great location for the loch and surrounding areas. Peaceful and warm and toasty! Would recommend to anyone visiting the area that needs a private peaceful place to stay near Loch Lomond. I hope to visit again! Craig was very helpful and friendly. He organised the firewood for us and gave us the privacy we wanted for our family! Thank you Craig, you’re a star! Highly recommended, lovely lovely place

Excellent little cottage in a fantastic location, less than 10 minutes drive to local shops or Loch Lomond. It is an excellent base to travel all around the area. Glencoe is just over an hours drive, and lots of fantastic scenery much closer. The cottage was immaculate and very cosy. It had a well equipped kitchen, lovely lounge area and bedroom and a lovely bathroom with large bath and bath jets. The place was very clean and tidy, the hosts are great with very helpful instructions and respond in great time, and very easy access. There was also some nice little treats on arrival (Tunnocks Caramels and Tea cakes), and fresh milk in the fridge with tea and coffee supplied. Highly recommended and a fantastic stay.

We’ve loved our stay, celebrating Hogmanay at Crosskeys Cottage!

Our arrival on a dark, damp evening, after a 7 hour journey was made extra special by the wee surprise left for us under the Christmas tree – Thank You!!

By the time we get home, we will have travelled 1,000 miles! but we saw and did loads…..

On one of the days we climbed Conic Hill and drove along the road that stops at Inversnaid – ‘the’ best drive of the week – spotted mountain goats, owls and deer and even a stag! The views across the loch here are amazing and the falls at the end make the 15 mile adventure worth it.

We’ve had the most amazing stay here.  The cottage is beautiful, cosy, warm and comfortable and we’ll be recommending it to our friends.

Many thanks, hope to see you again sometime….

“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.”

Have had a lovely time at your Lodge which is wonderful.

Enjoyed the evening sunshine out the French doors and a few visits from Shadow, also the bird song & Robin.

Have been not too far from the area but loved what we have seen apart from the Antartex Village which is a waste of time!

Lovely lunch at the Duck Bay and beautiful surroundings.  The sea life centre was very good.

Hope to return sometime….

You had me at Tunnocks !!
What a GORGEOUS little Cottage. Everything we needed and more.
Loved the heated floor in the bathroom !!!
So much to explore, some beautiful walking in Luss, Balloch Country Park was stunning.
A stroll along the promenade in Helensburgh was lovely. Highlight for me was the Hill House.
Our pup Bruce enjoyed all the fun smells and long walks.
Thanks for having us !!
