Comments from our Guestbook

What a lovely week we’ve had! Crosskeys Cottage is delightful, comfortable and a well-equipped cottage, so convenient for the loch.

Luss is lovely – and a great swim spot – I’ve really enjoyed the surprisingly warm water.

We visited the magnificent Kelpies (nr Grangemouth) and the impressive Stirling Castle, looked over the Falls of Falloch and walked through the woodlands at Crianlarich. The cruise around the loch was lovely, and the short walk along the West Highland Way from Balmaha to Milarochy was glorious – with a sunny swim from one of the beaches there. We’ve had fantastic weather and the view from Beinn Dubh (Luss) was worth the aching legs!!

Balloch Castle Park is also worth walking round, with coffee and cake from the slipway kiosk.

Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage.

It was a pleasure to stay at the fully equipped Glenfruin Lodge.  We did and saw many things during our one week stay.

We drove the full circle around the National Park.  We went to Oban for a day and Fort William for a day as well.  The drive through Glen Coe (the valley, not the village) was outstanding!

Arienne and Paul walked the first part of the Three Lochs Way (from Balloch to Helensburgh) and Paul climbed to the summit of Ben Lomond. Tough hikes, but amazingly beautiful and recommended!

One day Elise went pony trekking at Rednoch (near Port of Menteith).  It was fun and they particularly keep your level of skill in mind.

Maisie (the cat) visited us from time to time, snoring all the time…  she was kind of like a second host.

Thank you very much!

A refreshing break after 2 years of restrictions.
Recommend: dramatic Dumbarton Castle but be aware, 500+ steps to the top. Rosneath peninsula from Cove car park you can see right the way to Bute and Arran. Serene landscape around Milarochy Bay on the far side of Loch Lomond (with spotless toilets too!).

Moving on to Bute for our next week, hoping to go up to Rest and Be Thankful if road open, and Arkinglas Arboretum (Champion trees), and round to the ferry at Colintrave.

Only one lazy wet day, spent reading, paint and writing (Dennis is an author). We’ve had a fun week.

A lovely cottage with everything we needed.  Well placed to visit lots of places.

We even managed to visit friends in Edinburgh where the Botanic Gardens are well worth seeing and we would also recommend a cruise on Loch Lomond.

Look forward to coming back.

We had a lovely stay with the dogs here, the location is perfect for getting around the west side of Loch Lomond including up to Luss. The property is cosy but has everything you reasonably need for a week.
