We’ve had a lovely week in this well appointed and comfortable cottage (Crosskeys Cottage). Alison and Craig have been very welcoming and helpful.
Crosskeys is so well situation for exploring this part of Scotland, especially Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Our excursion on the steamer ‘Sir Walter Scott’ on Loch Katrine worked brilliantly helped by some sunny weather.
