CrossKeys was super clean, cosy and comfortable. We felt very much at home. A great cottage for a Winter rest, and a good location to explore the scenic areas around Loch Lomond. We really appreciated the festive touches too.

Had a fantastic holiday at Crosskeys Cottage. Alison and Craig made us so welcome and the cottage is beautiful.

We travelled about with our 3 dogs who loved running about. Places that we loved: Tyndrum as a stop off on our way to Oban. Ganavan sands near Oban is beautiful. Our favourite place was Balmaha, had coffee in St Moocha, Millarochy bay is unspoilt and stunning. Balloch walk along the river and Balloch castle country park. Lochgoilhead, stunning small village. Ardentinny beach (lovely but take a packed lunch as very remote and no coffee shops). Tarbet, loch lomond, excellent for wild swimming. Aberfoyle was our favourite village and finally the beautiful village of Luss which is just down the road.

Thank you Alison & Craig from Angie, Lee and the 3 furry ones – Flynn, Dora and Daisy

Thank you for letting out Crosskeys Cottage, so comfy & cosy!  Great base to explore, thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to Scotland.

Will definitely recommend to family & friends.  Thanks for the logs too – great after a very cold & wet day in Glencoe.

We have just enjoyed a very special and memorable Christmas here at Glenfruin Lodge.

We found the accommodation more spacious and luxurious than we expected and the log burning fire added to that warm, cosy, Chrismassy feel.

We enjoyed walks around Loch Katrine and Balloch Castle and visited Luss to reminisce about our wedding there 6 months earlier!

Luss/Loch Lomond will always be special to us and having enjoyed such a lovely property our happy memories are increased further.

Thank you!

We have had a really lovely time.  The weather has been exceptional.  Love the cottage, so comfortable and cosy, we have been very warm and our dogs have loved it too.

We have enjoyed taking the dogs for lots of little walks.  We have been to Luss, Crianlarich and went on a walk through the pine trees.  We didn’t venture very far but it was so beautiful, everywhere we turned there was another great view.

We will be telling family & friends about Crosskeys.

Cosy, comfortable Crosskeys Cottage. Ideal for our short stay in Loch Lomond. Warm welcome from Craig and Alison. Highlights of our short stay – Conic Hill, its steep but worth it, amazing views. Duncryne (dumpling) trail, much less steep but also very nice views over the Loch. Aber shore RSPB trail to the Loch absolutely beautiful this time of year with the bluebells, a very peaceful walk. Lussfor a pleasant stroll and Helensburgh for sunset over the hills. Finally a coffee or glass of something at Duck Bay a perfect way to finish your day sitting onthe terrace watching the swifts under the pontoon and listening to the oyster catchers.

All of the above dog friendly and much enjoyed by us too.

Thanks, very much enjoyed our stay, Neil, Deb, Dooley & Davy (woof)

Having taken a couple of overnight stops to get here, we were really pleased to arrive at this lovely cottage, and have a warm welcome.  There is so much to see and do that we will have to come back and would happily stay at Crosskeys again!

We intended to spend one day in Glasgow but with so many places to visit (particularly as big Charles Rennie Mackintosh fan!) we had to go back for a second day.  Recommend the sight seeing tour and take the train in – it is quick and good value.  Inveraray is worth a visit, lovely small town and the castle is impressive.  Oban is also worth a visit and Genfinnan monument.

All in all we had a great week here!

Glenfruin Lodge

What a great time we’ve had! There has been great walks and views.

We recommend the Cattle & Creel in Helensburgh for great Steak, Mussels and Oysters.  Sadly Duck Bay is not what it was – the food was poor and I’d avoid it.
