Welcome to Crosskeys Loch Lomond

We’ve had a lovely week in “Crosskeys Cottage” – very warm, cosy & characterful place to stay.  A warm welcome too when we arrived.

A good base from which to enjoy the beautiful Loch Lomond & Trossachs area.

Some of the places we have visited and walked our 2 dogs that we would recommend:-

– Comic Hill & Balmaha – steep walk, but fantastic view from the top & Oak Tree Inn opposite!!

– Pucks Glen near Dunoon.

– Aberfoyle & Loch Ard Walk

– Fort William (2 hour drive) through Glen Coe was spectacular

– Balloch Castle Country Park

– Luss

– The Cobbler – only looked as it’s a bit of a more serious climb!

We visited far more places including Helensburgh (for shopping & take-aways!!) to mention.

Thanks very much.

Lovely cosy lodge – amazing to have a wood burning stove and whirpool bath in one place!!

Really enjoyed our stay (went too quick though) – would recommend Loch Katrine very remote and beautiful.  For food and good ale go to the pub (Loch Lomond Arms) in Luss – try the Haggis dish and sticky toffee pudding plus a few whiskies!

Thanks for a lovely stay.  See you again hopefully.

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 great week.  Crosskeys cottage is well equipped, cosy and delightful.

It’s the perfect base for exploring this very scenic area.

Would love to return one day….

We had a warm welcome when we arrived in the pouring rain at Crosskeys.

Once inside the Cottage we picked up where we had left off a year ago, everything was first class once again.

Brilliant weather on the Sunday temp 14c sunny dawn till dusk.

On the Tuesday a very pleasant surprise a large dear in the shrubs on the left of the green hut,munching away on the low vegetation. Stirling a lovely town to visit, used the train from Helensburgh to Glasgow Queen St Station, excellent shopping 200 yards from the station all the big stores at £7.00 return per person.

This was a most welcome break so much to do if you hunt around even in November.

The Cottage is so lovely and is in an ideal location.  We have enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable in the Cottage.

We hope to return again, as there are lovely places to visit.

Thank you,

We booked ‘Glenfruin Lodge’ to escape our hectic lives and relax – this cottage was perfect for us!  Loved coming back here each evening and getting the log fire burning, very relaxing indeed.

We found this location perfect for visiting this area – we headed up to Oban, Inverary and various places along the way to Stirling.  Did a few walks around Loch Lomond.  A drive up the A817 (Loch Lomond – Helensburgh) is a must – most definately the best scenery!  We spent an afternoon Geocaching nearby through ‘Balmaha Muir’ forest – again a lovely view at the top.  If anyone fancies fish and chip supper, then we recommend ‘The wee kelpie’ in Helensburgh!

Overall, a beautiful cottage (great attention to detail, especially the shower!), thank you for making us so welcome – we’ll be sure to come back!

Avery comfortable and superb base for Loch Lomond and Helensburgh.

Enjoyed trips from Helensburgh Central to Ayr , Edinburgh,  Glasgow and from

Helensburgh Upper station a trip to Mallaig along the famous West Highland Line

Would thoroughly recommend Tenement House in Glasgow and Hill House Helensburgh

Magnificent scenery and coast, lochs and mountains a wonderful week

Thank you

Very enjoyable week – the cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) was just right for our requirements and in such a peaceful and attractive area.  Very comfortable and cared for.

Plenty to see and do – Hill House should not be missed and Glenarn Gardens is unexpectedly impressive.  A short drive south and Geilston Garden and Balloch Country Park provide very enjoyable walks.  A drive around Loch Lomond presents several good walks and tea stops as does a tour around the peninsula (great wool shop!).  A challenge of a climb at Dumbarton Castle gives great rewards.

We found train travel to Glasgow easy and efficient and really enjoyed visits to museums eg. Kelvingrove, Transport and Life and the Tall Ship, also the Lighthouse.

Local bicycle paths are great for safe pedalling and walking – we know the other end of the John Muir trail quite well, plus his reputation and life in USA.

Thank you once again.

Best wishes, Michael & Joan Whatling
