Comments from our Guestbook

Thank you for a fabulous base to explore Argyll & Bute. Incredibly good weather on top.
The accommodation is fabulous, the setting is lovely and quiet, just the thing for a peaceful and restful stay.
We gave never been so close to a wild pheasant, well done in making him welcome in your garden. We nearly had venison one night after a deer crossed the road right in front of us- another first.
Sadly we did not meet Alison, but we enjoyed our “wee chat” in the garden with Craig.

Thanks again

Thank you Alison and Craig for a wonderful stay in Glenfruin Lodge. It was so cosy and comfortable with everything we needed to make our stay special. We enjoyed our trips to Oban, Inverary and Balloch with a special mention to Auchindrian (historical scottish hamlet) – well worth a visit.

Thank you so much!

Thank you Alison & Craig for your warm welcome to your beautiful cottage. We loved the way you have refurbished it, so sympathetically. So tastefully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. It was an ideal base for us to visit family and my husband’s childhood haunts. We enjoyed the Antartex Village in Alexandria.
Unfortunately the weather hasn’t been good but we made the best of it.

Thank you again,

Thank you for letting out Crosskeys Cottage, so comfy & cosy!  Great base to explore, thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to Scotland.

Will definitely recommend to family & friends.  Thanks for the logs too – great after a very cold & wet day in Glencoe.

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.

Thank you very much, we have really enjoyed our stay in your cottage.

The Cottage is delightful, with lots of lovely touches.  Everything is to hand and nothing has been left out (even poo bags for the dogs!).  The surrounding area is fantastic with stunning views around every corner.

We will be back again as soon as possible.

Despite ‘challenging’ weather, we’ve had a wonderful few days in this peaceful, well-appointed and well-located cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).

Spent a tranquil evening on the deserted shore of Milavvochy Bay/Balmaha.  Hill House is superb.  Enjoyed the scenery of the Trossachs and a stroll around Callander.

The ‘Tullie’ in Balloch offers good value, unpretentious food.  The Boathouse at Cameron House is recommended.

A family wedding at Ross Priory brought us here and, hopefully, we’ll be back.
