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 !

Very nice cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  Lots to do even if wet!

Worth putting seeds/nuts out in the garden – lots of birds visit.

Thanks Alison & Craig for a wonderful 2 week break, we wanted somewhere to relax for 2 weeks and that’s what we got.

The Lodge was lovely and a superb base to go exploring.

Thank you

Glenfruin Lodge has been the best cottage we have ever stayed in, in the loveliest of locations.  Made perfect by the frequent visits of Maisie, the cat.

We enjoyed wonderful boat trips from Luss and Balloch with very knowledgeable commentary.  We took two train journeys: one to Oban and the other to Blair Atholl.  Spectacular views surrounded us, especially on our journey to Oban.

We will definitely be back.

Thank you!

A well equiped and comfortable cottage.
The location is ideal for exploring the area and there is certainly plenty to see.
We have been so lucky with the weather.

Lovely, cosy cottage, ideal for exploring beautiful Loch Lomond and surrounding area. Craig and Alison were very helpful and we would love to return again.

Once again Craig & Alison made us feel very welcome in their superb Lodge.
We were comfortable and wanted for nothing. Trips out included the Transport Museum and Kelvingrove in Glasgow.
Both were superb and the children loved it.
Loch Tay is beautiful and the boys enjoyed the water trampoline and also the Quay in Luss and wakeboarding on Loch Lomond. The Arboretum at Arkinglass on the way to Inveraray was a great walk for both adults and children.
A trip to Stirling rounded off the week .

Thank you again for a great week

We have very much enjoyed the peaceful tranquillity of Glenfruin Lodge.  We know the area quite well as our daughter has lived in the area for four years.  It has been lovely to stay here while she and her family are having house renovations.

The Lodge is all we could ask for, spacious with airy ceilings, but beautifully cosy with under floor heating.  Our granddaughters particularly loved the spa bath!

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.
