Comments from our Guestbook

Our wee family came to Crosskeys Cottage for a birthday weekend and a wee retreat from our busy lives.
What we found when we arrived was a beautiful environment and a wonderful experience. Our stay has been faultless, Rupert has loved his time here and he will certainly miss all the smells, leaves, rocks and sticks !!
He has made loads of friends around the Loch.

Thank you for allowing us to stay, I am sure we will be back again !

A week of bliss just chillin… hectic work life.  Glenfruin Lodge was lovely.  Would recommend ‘La Barca’ restaurant in Helensburgh for lunch, but plenty of eating options round about.

The coast drive through Rhu past the sea lochs is worth it.

Hope to come back, Mr & Mrs Aitken, Dalrympe, Ayrshire

We’ve had a lovely week in this well appointed and comfortable cottage (Crosskeys Cottage). Alison and Craig have been very welcoming and helpful.

Crosskeys is so well situation for exploring this part of Scotland, especially Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Our excursion on the steamer ‘Sir Walter Scott’ on Loch Katrine worked brilliantly helped by some sunny weather.

Supermarkets in Helensburgh and Balloch were easily accessible where we could buy everything we needed for meals. Maisie, our labrador was equally content!

A great visit and one we would love to repeat at some stage.

We’ve had a lovely stay in the Cottage, and have enjoyed lots of walks in the local area,
Balloch castle grounds and the Hill House to Rhu. We were very lucky with the weather and had a glorious day
for a trip on Loch Lomond.
Delighted to finally get to see the Hill House and can highly recommend the Lido fish and chip shop in Helensburgh.

Excellent little cottage in a fantastic location, less than 10 minutes drive to local shops or Loch Lomond. It is an excellent base to travel all around the area. Glencoe is just over an hours drive, and lots of fantastic scenery much closer. The cottage was immaculate and very cosy. It had a well equipped kitchen, lovely lounge area and bedroom and a lovely bathroom with large bath and bath jets. The place was very clean and tidy, the hosts are great with very helpful instructions and respond in great time, and very easy access. There was also some nice little treats on arrival (Tunnocks Caramels and Tea cakes), and fresh milk in the fridge with tea and coffee supplied. Highly recommended and a fantastic stay.

Thanks, Rachel & Matt

We have had a really fantastic time here. Glenfruin Cottage is great and has been a lovely cosy, comfortable place to come back to at the end of a busy day out!
We have been very lucky with amazing weather and we brought our kayaks with us, so spent much of our time around the shores of Loch Lomond (and on it of course!).
A particular favourite spot we discovered was Balmaha – really beautiful setting and a lovely pub for a drink/dinner at the end, as well as an ice-cream parlour. We paddled accross to Inchcailloch Island – a nature reserve (which you can also catch a ferry to) and that was beautiful.
We also visited Hill House – built and designed by Rennie MacIntosh in Helensburgh on our ‘rest day’! Which was really interesting and a lovely cafe and shop.
We have loved our morning walks up the lane by the house a perfect way to start the day and take in the beautiful scenery!

Thank you for having us, we have loved it!
