We have thoroughly enjoyed staying here in this beautiful 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!)

Thank you Alison & Craig for the most splendid stay at your wonderful lodge.
We have had the most amazing week.The Lodge is so homely equipped with everything you need
for a home from home,if not better. My son studies at Strathclyde University and the Lodge was a
peaceful retreat for him. We traveled all over including visiting relatives in Bannockburn.
We are sad to leave this immaculate cottage and its two endearing hosts, we hope to come back in February.

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.

Hi Craig & Alison, thanks for a fab time in your lovely (Crosskeys) Cottage.
Everything you need and more.

First impression of Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage when we opened the door WOW! Straight away it felt like home, but on a grander scale.
Had a lovely visit to Luss. Went to see the waterfall at Falloch.
Fabulous time at Alexandria visiting Totally Tartan Kilt Makers, researching my ancesters clan. Whilst no official tartan, I can wear Buchanan (Baxter) which are considered dependents of the Clan MacMillan.
Great day out at Inverarary. We took the scenic route along the clyde. On Craig’s recommendation we had fish and chips in Tyndrum. However the fish & chip shop is inside the ‘Real Food Cafe’, as it is not obvious.

Great host, great location. Hope to come back soon.
