Comments from our Guestbook

The Cottage is as comfortable as it is picturesque. All the amenities you could ask for, plus some extra thoughtful touches. A great base from which to explore the surrounding area, and cosy enough to enjoy a night in with the fire a book or some tv.

Our first visit to Scotland, travelling from Kent to see our son who has moved to Saltcoats.  We had one beautiful sunny day visiting all around Loch Lomond, saw some waterfalls.  We spent a day in Saltcoats – wet and cold, but we imagine the beach to be lovely in the summer.  A lovely cosy cottage (Crosskeys Cottage), everything you need.

Would definitely visit again.

Thank you Alison & Craig for the most splendid stay at your wonderful lodge.
We have had the most amazing week.The Lodge is so homely equipped with everything you need
for a home from home,if not better. My son studies at Strathclyde University and the Lodge was a
peaceful retreat for him. We traveled all over including visiting relatives in Bannockburn.
We are sad to leave this immaculate cottage and its two endearing hosts, we hope to come back in February.

Thank you for a cosy stay in the Crosskeys Cottage.  We loved coming back and getting cosy in front of the log burner.

Whilst we were here, we visited Balloch, Luss, which were very nice places to visit and see Loch Lomond.  We also visited the Isle of Mull on a ferry from Oban and visited Tobermory (Highly recommended).

Thank you again for our stay and we will be back in the future.

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.

Had a lovely week even though the weather was not kind to us on some days.

It is 12 years since we were here and very little has changed.  We will not be waiting another 12 years before we return!
