Comments from our Guestbook

We loved this cottage so much (Crosskeys Cottage) – it was just like home.  We had wonderful days out but just couldn’t wait to get back to light the fire!

This cottage has everything you need and last night we went out late as the Northern Lights were forecasted – 3 hours and nothing – never mind (Iceland, Finland & Scotland – no lights yet!).

Thanks again.

Thank you Alison & Craig for a wonderful holiday here at Crosskeys.  The Cottage boasted everything we needed and more and was in a perfect location.

The weather has been surprisingly warm and sunny nearly non-stop this week!

We visited Balloch Castle Country Park, the lovely ‘Village Rest’ in Luss (nice scenes!) and climbed Conic Hill (and realised we were very unfit!).  We discovered a nice 2 hour walk starting from the back of the Hill House in Helensburgh that goes through woods & farmland that I’d recommend (google it!).

Thanks again for a great Scottish holiday.

Thank you for such a wonderful & welcoming stay in Crosskeys Cottage.
I can honestly say we have had the best stay in this Cottage, it is beautiful
and in such a lovely area.
The dogs have enjoyed themselves here and have been so tired after our fun filled days out.
I wouldn’t change a thing about the cottage and would love to come again,
Thank you for being such wonderful hosts.

We have thoroughly enjoyed staying here in this beautiful cottage! (Crosskeys Cottage).

We had lunch in our favourite pub in Balmaha – The Oak Tree – lovely food, lovely service and dog friendly!
We had a drive up to Millarrochy Bay which is a beautiful spot, and also a drive down to Greenock for a walk along the esplanade. We also had a walk around Luss, one of our favourite spots, very picturesque and the addition of the new distillery was great – we can recommend going there for coffee and cake.

We will certainly recommend this cottage to everyone and will hopefully be back ourselves too!

Thank you, Laura, Chris and Otis (the sausage dog!)

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

Best wishes for 2022

27th Dec – 3rd Jan 2022

A refreshing break after 2 years of restrictions.
Recommend: dramatic Dumbarton Castle but be aware, 500+ steps to the top. Rosneath peninsula from Cove car park you can see right the way to Bute and Arran. Serene landscape around Milarochy Bay on the far side of Loch Lomond (with spotless toilets too!).

Moving on to Bute for our next week, hoping to go up to Rest and Be Thankful if road open, and Arkinglas Arboretum (Champion trees), and round to the ferry at Colintrave.

Only one lazy wet day, spent reading, paint and writing (Dennis is an author). We’ve had a fun week.

Pauline and Dennis Talbot.

25th September – 2nd October 2021

We have been very comfortable in this spacious accommodation (Glenfruin Lodge).  In a peaceful setting yet close to main roads, railway stations, a lovely town with useful shops and the stunning countryside.

The weather has been generally kind and we have had a very busy and delightful week.

We hope to be back again,

Celia & George, Hampshire.

26th April – 3rd May 2014

To Craig & Alison,

Thank you very much for letting James, Lilly, Snoopy & I stay in your beautiful cottages.  We had a lovely week here and are sad to be going home!  We did some sight seeing whilst we were here and must say that Luss & Balloch Castle Country Park are lovely places to visit.

We will be recommending your cottage to friends & family looking to stay in the area, it is a great location for exploring the surrounding countryside.

Thanks again, Fliss & James, Lilly & Snoopy (our dogs).
