Comments from our Guestbook

Hi guys, just a short note to say how much Helen, Amy, Reece and myself enjoyed our stay in Crosskeys Cottage.  The location is magical and the 3 days we stayed helped recharge our batteries.  It’s just a pity you could not bottle it!

We had lots of fun exploring the area with visits to Helensburgh and Lomond Shores.

Oh well, time to go back to reality…

Thank you, Matt, Helen, Amy, Reece and Aihor the dog!

Fabulous little cottage. Had a wonderful time walking in the mountains and exploring the sea lochs – Castle Carrick is beautiful!

Hopefully back again soon.

Thank you!

We’ve enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very attractive Cottage (Crosskeys).  We chose the location partly to revisit some of the places we know from long ago, as we youth hostelled in the Trossachs in the 1950’s.  Quite a lot of changes, but of course the scenery is just as splendid.  New to us was the woodland garden at Ardkinglas and can recommend a visit to see some wonderful trees; also taking the little road to Stronachlachar to enjoy the lovely views of Loch Katrine.  Even the wet days were happily spent in Glasgow – a fine city with lots of interest.

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.

Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glenfuin Lodge.  The lodge is very well equipped, perfect location and a warm and friendly welcome from Alison & Craig made for a perfect stay.

Enjoyed some great walks – Ben A’an, Ardmore Peninsula, Conic Hill and Stronachlachar and Loch Arklet.  Had a day trip to Glasgow, visited The Tenement and Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery.  Here in Helensburgh we spent a morning at Hill House (a National Trust property) designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh – really enjoyed seeing the design and architecture of this period.  Took a road trip up Loch Lomond – fantastic.  Would recommend La Barca in Helensburgh – really tasty Spanish Tapas.  A great holiday, further enhanced by fantastic weather.

Well we really enjoyed our long weekend, so welcomed by Alison & Craig.

The Lodge was very well equipped, excellent location, loved the peace & quiet but handy enough to get to the hustle & bustle also.

Hope to visit again soon and will be sure to let others know about this little haven…

Thanks again Alison & Craig!

What a lovely week we’ve had! Crosskeys Cottage is delightful, comfortable and a well-equipped cottage, so convenient for the loch.

Luss is lovely – and a great swim spot – I’ve really enjoyed the surprisingly warm water.

We visited the magnificent Kelpies (nr Grangemouth) and the impressive Stirling Castle, looked over the Falls of Falloch and walked through the woodlands at Crianlarich. The cruise around the loch was lovely, and the short walk along the West Highland Way from Balmaha to Milarochy was glorious – with a sunny swim from one of the beaches there. We’ve had fantastic weather and the view from Beinn Dubh (Luss) was worth the aching legs!!

Balloch Castle Park is also worth walking round, with coffee and cake from the slipway kiosk.

Thank you for letting us use your lovely cottage.

Weather has been great ,perfect location for visiting the Highlands,Glen Coe and Fort William was an amazing day out.

We also had a great day on a boat trip exploring Loch Lomond,you can get off the boat and spend a few hours on the beach or do the island walk.

The boat sailed from Luss which is about 4 miles away. Another good place to visit is Maid of the loch,which is in Balloch
