We had a lovely stay with the dogs here, the location is perfect for getting around the west side of Loch Lomond including up to Luss. The property is cosy but has everything you reasonably need for a week.

Glenfruin Lodge is very comfortable and well equipped. Everything worked, though with a few quirks, not unexpected in an old building (nothing that was a problem). Excellent location for hillwalking. Loved the afternoon sun trap garden. Alison came across soon after I arrived and was friendly and chatty. Will happily stay again.
Thanks folks. All went well and I got four days on the hill (only wet occasionally 😁). Will hopefully be back next year. Cheers.

When I saw the photo of Crosskeys Cottage on cottages.com I decided to book myself and my two spaniels, Stanley & Maddie for a week, because it reminded me of my childhood and youth growing up in Helensburgh.

The experience staying here has been so much better than anticipated with all the excellent facilities, the really first class decor, the helpful printed signs on the switches etc. and the very dog friendly atmosphere.

We have been out everyday to Balmaha, Luss, Inverary & Crarae Gardens, Geilston Gardens in Cardross which is a little gem. We were made particularly welcome at the Beachcombers cafe at Kidston Park in Helensburgh and went back there most days for a coffee.

Thank you, Alison & Craig for providing such a lovely, magical cottage.

Thank you for our stay in your lovely cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).
Spotlessly clean and with everything we needed for our stay. Much appreciated the spa bath and the very comfy bed.

An ideal place to visit lots of interesting places. Paricularly enjoyed Hill House, Luss and Glasgow. The scenery around is amazing.

We have had a lovely stay at Glenfruin Lodge – very comfortable.

The weather hasn’t been great, but we have been out & about – The Hill House, Loch Lomond and took the train to Glasgow. We had a lovely meal at the Sugar Boat in Helensburgh.

Thank you for the warm welcome on arrival and the treats in the kitchen. Barney enjoyed the garden (when it wasn’t raining!).

We had a lovely week staying here at Crosskeys Cottage.
Thank you to Craig & Alison for making us feel so welcome.
Such a lovely, well equipped cottage that made our stay so comfortable.

We had mixed weather but still managed to do a lot and see so much: Luss Village and Firkin Point, Hill House and the Sasco gallery in Helensburgh, Balloch Country Park, The Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel, Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument, Culross and Blackness Castle.

Thanks again Craig & Alison, we will definately be recommending the cottage to our friends.

We had a lovely stay at Glenfruin Lodge! The cottage is vey cosy and well equipped.
The location is great to visit many interesting places. We went to Inverary, Oban, Glasgow, Helensburgh (the Hill House), Luss, Stirling, Glengoyne Distillery and more…

We first stayed here in 2018, then 2020, 2021 & 2023 and still found new places to visit. Kinlochleven is beautiful (recommended by Craig!), Glasgow Museum is worth a visit (free entry) and the train from Balloch to Partick is very reasonable.

If you like hill climbing, Conic Hill at Balmaha is a must and the ferry from Luss to Inchailloch is worth doing.
A visit to Luss Village itself is quaint and ice-cream not to be missed.

Thank you again Craig & Alison.

Glenfruin Lodge was perfect and had everything we needed. Lovely warm welcome from Alison.
Great base to come back to and so easy for visiting many places, also very handy for Helensburgh train station too.

Many thanks, Chris & Lindsey
