We had a wonderful time staying at Crosskeys, in Glenfruin Lodge. The cottage was absolutely perfect and really was a home from home.

We had a fantastic time vising the beautiful Loch Lomond area which provided so many scenic places to see. We travelled as far north as Fort William which included the stunning scenery of Glencoe. We also took the train from Helensburgh across to Edinburgh for the day. We visited the Royal Yacht Britannia which was fantastic.

Thank you to Alison & Craig for the use of your beautiful cottage and I am sure we will be back.

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 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,
