Having taken a couple of overnight stops to get here, we were really pleased to arrive at this lovely cottage, and have a warm welcome. There is so much to see and do that we will have to come back and would happily stay at Crosskeys again!
We intended to spend one day in Glasgow but with so many places to visit (particularly as big Charles Rennie Mackintosh fan!) we had to go back for a second day. Recommend the sight seeing tour and take the train in – it is quick and good value. Inveraray is worth a visit, lovely small town and the castle is impressive. Oban is also worth a visit and Genfinnan monument.
All in all we had a great week here!
