Comments from our Guestbook

Lovely place to stay, real value for money.  Great location for venturing out.

Can recommend Doune Castle (Near Stirling) for the Monty Python fans; followed by an outstanding meal at Deanston Distillery.  Hill House is a must for Charles Rennie Mackintosh fans.

We have loved staying at The Lodge. We had everything we needed & felt at home.
Can recommend Mira Mare in Helensburgh if you fancy Italian food !
Hope to be back again next time we are up again in Scotland.

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.

Another lovely visit (at the cottage).  Restful and with some beautiful weather so we enjoyed the garden.  The dog, as ever, enjoyed bounding around!

Thank you as ever.

What a gem of a Cottage it had everything we needed, enjoyed sitting outside in the peaceful garden.

Location is excellent for exploring different places. Lots of lovely nature walks in Balloch and Helensburgh.

We took the train to Glasgow which cost £7.00 each return and went on the City tour bus, more than we thought to see around Glasgow. Loch Lomond is a beautiful place to stay, we had a great time with fantastic views.

Thank you to Craig & Alison for letting us stay at Glenfruin Lodge.

Had another lovely week at the Lodge again.  This time we went out to Inverary Jail and Castle, well worth a visit (keep your receipt from the Jail, do it first and when you go to the Castle you get 20% off your entry fee). Got some good purchases at Antartex Village and Lomond Shores, great for food and shopping.

We will be back as soon as we can.

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,

We have had a lovely stay at Crosskeys cottage, enjoying a warm and cosy cottage. Highlights of our week have been Glenarn Gardens in Rhu, the Ardkinglas Gardens and the beautiful village of Luss. Also not to be missed is the climb up Conic Hill, a visit to Inchcailloch island at Balmaha and a walk around the peninsula at Ardmore.

Thanks Alison for your recommendations, nothing disappointed.

We have had a lovely week in your lovely cottage, weather could have been better
but it did not stop us going places. We have loved the mountains, Loch Lomond
on our last day we did not want to go too far so we went to Duck Bay it was just wonderful
and the weather was very nice as well (no rain)
Many Thanks

You had me at Tunnocks !!
What a GORGEOUS little Cottage. Everything we needed and more.
Loved the heated floor in the bathroom !!!
So much to explore, some beautiful walking in Luss, Balloch Country Park was stunning.
A stroll along the promenade in Helensburgh was lovely. Highlight for me was the Hill House.
Our pup Bruce enjoyed all the fun smells and long walks.
