Had a great week at Glenfruin Lodge, lots of adventures. Ate at Fruin Farm Restaurant which is just the other side of the roundabout outside the cottage.  Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful cottage, thank you.

Thank you very much for another great time in Loch Lomond – Crosskeys cottage is a super place: warm, comfortable, cosy and with the snow plough on the doorstep – snow is not a problem and from the cottage there is just such a fantastic lot of options.

We will be back again and maybe see Inverary in sunshine!  We also still have a bit more of the east shore of Loch Lomond to walk!

Many thanks again for all your kindness.

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!

We’ve had a lovely few days at Glenfruin Lodge and we have been lucky with the weather considering the time of year.

We had a beautiful walk around the banks of Loch Katrine and a village walk around Luss which was very pretty.  We drove through dramatic views to Inverary and stopped at Loch Fyne for a delicious lunch of oysters, mussels and smoked salmon.  It has been wonderful to return to the comfortable and cosy lodge each evening.

Thank you for a lovely break, hopefully we’ll be back soon.

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!

First impression of Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage when we opened the door WOW! Straight away it felt like home, but on a grander scale.
Had a lovely visit to Luss. Went to see the waterfall at Falloch.
Fabulous time at Alexandria visiting Totally Tartan Kilt Makers, researching my ancesters clan. Whilst no official tartan, I can wear Buchanan (Baxter) which are considered dependents of the Clan MacMillan.
Great day out at Inverarary. We took the scenic route along the clyde. On Craig’s recommendation we had fish and chips in Tyndrum. However the fish & chip shop is inside the ‘Real Food Cafe’, as it is not obvious.

Great host, great location. Hope to come back soon.

Lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge), very comfortable and well placed for visiting the areas around it.

Enjoyed a speedboat trip on the Loch and a drive to Inveraray.

Many thanks to our hosts.
