12th – 19th September 2015

September 19, 2015 by in

We have had a really lovely time.  The weather has been exceptional.  Love the cottage, so comfortable and cosy, we have been very warm and our dogs have loved it too.

We have enjoyed taking the dogs for lots of little walks.  We have been to Luss, Crianlarich and went on a walk through the pine trees.  We didn’t venture very far but it was so beautiful, everywhere we turned there was another great view.

We will be telling family & friends about Crosskeys.
