Comments from our Guestbook

We have had a lovely week here at Glenfruin Lodge.  The Lodge is well furnished and cosy and the whirlpool bath and giant bed were a welcoming relief after a days climbing or cycling.

The Lodge is in a great location for exploring (we visited Stirling, Ben Lomond, Luss and Balloch) but remote enough to feel like you could be in the middle of nowhere…

A lovely relaxing week and would love to come back.

A huge thank you to Alison & Craig for a great holiday.

The Lodge is so warm & cosy and felt like home.

As a cat lover it was great to have a visit from Maisie most days.

Would love to come back.

We have loved our stay here in this lovely cottage.  Perfect location for exploring all that Scotland has to offer.

Would definately recommend Crosskeys to family and friends and come back in the future.

Thanks to Craig & Alison for everything.

What a brilliant location for exploring the surrounding region.  Definitely recommend the cruise at Luss to Inchcailloch, lovely walk steeped in history.

Thanks Alison, for a lovely, clean well equipped cosy cottage, absolutely perfect.

Two ladies needing a well deserved retreat…..well, that’s exactly what we got !!

Craig & Alison , this place is so home from home.So relaxed and plenty to do if you go and look for it.

The loch is beautiful, lovely walks , out from morning till dusk.

You must visit Stirling, well worth a look.

Your cottage is so welcoming and warm.

Thank you both

Will be back, no doubts

This is a real gem ideally situated for access to both city and country.  We found it easy to travel to Glasgow city centre by way of the excellent train service from Balloch and the numerous sea lochs in the area are really worth exploring.

My fire lighting and fire stoking skills have really improved and we hope to invest in a wood burning stove in our own home within the very near future.

Dear Craig & Alison

We really enjoyed our honeymoon here in Crosskeys.  Had a lovely time exploring Loch Lomond and all of it’s surroundings.  Your cosy cottage has surely done it’s part in making this a perfect holiday.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done and until we maybe meet again!

Best regards, Lucas & Anna, Germany

We loved this cottage so much (Crosskeys Cottage) – it was just like home.  We had wonderful days out but just couldn’t wait to get back to light the fire!

This cottage has everything you need and last night we went out late as the Northern Lights were forecasted – 3 hours and nothing – never mind (Iceland, Finland & Scotland – no lights yet!).

Thanks again.

Had a lovely time, weather really good, scenery great, cottage comfy and very nicely decorated, had everything we needed.

Thank you, Heather, Ker & Lucy (the dog)

23rd – 28th April 2022

We’ve had such a lovely stay here at Crosskeys Cottage! We can’t believe how lucky we have been with the weather too, bright sunshine & thankfully missed the snow back at home (the midlands).

The news & walks we’ve been on have been incredible, Pucks Glen, near Dunoon was our personal favourite.

Most importantly our dog ‘Atlas’ has had the best time exploring with us and we celebrated his 6th birthday here.

Thank you so much for having us, it’s been wonderful!
