Spent a very comfortable few days here at Glenfruin Lodge – an ideal and convenient base to explore this area.

Highlights of the trip were the walks up Conic Hill and Ben A’an – the hard work rewarded by amazing views.

We found that nearby Helensburgh was able to provide everything we needed as well as being a pleasant place to stroll around.

Dear Alison & Craig,

The first step we took into the Crosskeys Cottage, we felt welcome and at home.  The colours, the decorations just make you feel so cosy.

It was our first holiday/vacation as a family of four.  Travelling with two children under two, we thought might be a bit tricky, but turned out just fine.

We came here to visit friends of my husband who used to live in Helensburgh as a teenager.  So we visited them in Garelochhead, where you have a very nice view of the Naval Base at night.  The scenery all in all was just breath taking, whilst looking out the window when driving.

We went and took a walk beside the Clyde, went to Glasgow and went strolling around an Antique store.  We went through Glen Fruin, which was amazing, we took the kids to Stirling Castle and got to hear the history of James V, and his two wives and their daughter Mary, told from an actress in the clothes of the past.  The view of Wallace Monument and his history was also something that we found very interesting.

My husband and I decided we definitely want to come back here.

Thanks for everything.

Greetings from Germany, Rachel, Marcel, Emmelyn and Jacon

What a great little Cottage ! (Glenfruin Lodge) We really enjoyed our stay. Spent most of our time exploring the area and visiting wedding venues. Had a very tasty meal at Cucina in Balloch one evening – thanks for the recommendation.
Highlight was seeing the Red Squirrels in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which had eluded us on our last trip this way.
Thanks for a lovely stay hope to be back soon.

The Lodge was beautiful, the bathroom was to die for.  Had a lovely stay and will be recommending to everyone I know.  Alison and Craig very helpful and informative.

Scotland is so beautiful that we are moving up here to live in 2 weeks time!

Warm, cosy, comfortable and quiet Glenfruin Lodge is in a good central location.  We enjoyed cycling the West Loch Lomond Cycle Path, treating ourselves to a coffee stop at ‘The Carrick’.  Our best day was cycling around the beautiful Loch Katrine.  We had a lovely sunny day, coffee was good at the cafe (we took our own bikes, but they can be hired at the loch).

This is our first trip to Scotland to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.  We have had a lovely time and hope to return soon.

Many thanks Craig & Ally

One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in.  Excellent facilities and a really comfy bed!

We had a lovely relaxing week and were lucky with the weather (only one wet day).

Stirling was an excellent day out,  the Trossachs Trail was beautiful, Balloch Country Park was good for a leg stretch, Antartex Village was a waste of time! but  Auchentoshen distillery is well worth a visit.

This is one place we would come back to.
