Thank you once again Craig & Alison. This is our 3rd stay in Crosskeys Cottage with you and everything, once again, was perfect.

We did so many different things this year. We have walked over 35 miles in the 2 weeks, including Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh (1,000ft). Conic hill at Balmaha and 2 local walks from the Hill House in Helensburgh.

Other highlights were Ardkinglas Woodland walk, a ferry from Luss to Inchacailloch Island, a meal at Loch Fyne restaurant, Dumbarton Castle and a ferry across to Inchmurrin Island to dine at the restaurant is worth doing. It is only 1.5 miles from here by foot! the ferry crossing is lovely.

Other good eating places are fish & chips and La Barca Tapas Bar in Helensburgh and Princess Rose Thai restaurant in Balloch. Oh we nearly forgot Blair Drummond safari park was a great day out too and to top it all only 1 day of rain in 2 weeks!

We will be back,

The Lodge is lovely and spacious.  We have really enjoyed our time here.

Thank you for letting us come early due to the weather.  A very cosy, wonderful cottage.  A great place to self-cater.

A great place also for Henry, our dog who could run around the front lawn.

This is an excellent place to visit with so much to see and do.  Did lots of walking with magnificent views.

I would recommend this location to our friends and also Crosskeys to stay.

Enjoyed stay in this cosy nook (Crosskeys Cottage).  Warm, homely and all amenities needed.  Weather – dry all week and sunny most days.  What!! – no rain? Yes, no rain!!

George & Jane, Coventry

21st to 27th May 2016

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
