We have really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, comfortable cottage (Glenfruin Lodge/Cottage), which had everything we needed for a care free holiday. It is perfectly positioned for exploring – a super walk in Balloch Country Park and a sail on Loch Lomond, exploring the scenic routes down to Dunoon (great views at ‘Rest and be thankful’) and the absolutely stunning Hill House in Helensburgh.

Thank you for your hospitality!

Thank you Alison and Craig, Crosskeys Cottage is beautiful and we’ve been so fortunate with the weather!

Places we went: Bracklinn Falls, Faerie Trail in Luss, Ben Lomond (got engaged at the top!!), Conic Hill at Balmaha, Birds of Prey Centre in Balloch, St Mocha Cafe and roamed around Helensburgh.

Overall we’ve had the best week possible.
Arrived as boyfriend and girlfriend and left as fiances – very special memories made.
Everything about this area is magical.

All the best, Kleasna & James, Aberdeen

Thank you for the warm welcome and the comfortable and cosy cottage. We really felt at home in Glenfuin Lodge during our stay.

Although the weather was not perfect, we were able to do a lot of hiking tours all around Loch Lomond. We enjoyed great views from Conic Hill, Ben A’an and Ben Donich and went down to ‘The Devils Pulpit’ which was a great experience.

Thank you for everything,
