Comments from our Guestbook

Dear Craig & Alison,

Had a great stay at Crosskeys it is so wonderful here, the Cottage is so comfy and well situated for the city as well as the country.  Our German Shepherds, Missy & Max loved all the walks as did we.

We will certainly recommend Crosskeys to our friends and family, quite sad to be leaving tomorrow so thanks for a wonderful stay.

Fab little place – central to pretty much everywhere. Had a trip over to Isle of Arran to walk up Goatfell, drove up to Oban via the Arrachar Alps and the Rest & Be Thankful.
Sadly the weather wasn’t as good as I hoped so munro bagging went out of the window which allowed for visits to Luss, Balmaha and the inevitable visit in the torrential rain to Glencoe.

Thanks to Alison & Craig for their attention to detail.

Lovely stay in this beautiful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  Wonderful to come back to a fire and whirlpool bath after a wet, cold day.  Stunning area and a wonderful place to stay.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here this week.  Your cottage is lovely and cosy – especially with the wood burner going in the evenings.

The area around here is stunningly beautiful with so many photo opportunities, and the autumn colours! – well why on earth would you need to travel abroad in search of such beauty!

Cosy, warm cottage. Great base for lots of exploring from a comfortable, beautifully furnished cottage. Criag and Alison gave us some good advice on where to go and there were wallk directions supplied in the cottage. Good base for Loch Lomond, Helensburgh and around Loch Long.

Perfect cottage stay for our week in the area. We enjoyed some relaxing walks and local restaurants.
Will look at Glenfruin Lodge again when we come back to do the big hills!

Lovely cottage (Crosskeys cottage), great views – shame there wasn’t more sun.  However, we did get out to Stirling, Oban and especially the lovely park in Balloch. Plenty of walks suitable for dogs & people alike.

Many thanks, Pam & Ray Green and ‘Bella’

We had a lovely family holiday here.  The lodge is in a good central location for visiting all the nearby lochs.

There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the website and therefore we did not bring a high chair, however the owner very kindly went and bought one the following day for us.  The bed is very comfortable (hotel quality) and was very well equipped, it was a shame we didn’t get to sit in the garden because of the weather.

Lots of nice picnic locations nearby, I recommend Balmaha.
