Crosskeys Cottage is a beautiful and well located cottage. Everything has been thought about carefully – the kitchen layout, heating, choice of rugs, wonderful. We ate very well and started our Scottish adventures into Munro bagging.

Previously we have run mountain trails in Wales, but we are now entering the big league.
First Munro – Ben Lomond (sunny and fabulous)
Second Munro – Ben More (white out snow storm and vertical ascent!!)

So we would love to revist to do Stob Beihin & Arrochar Alps.

Great space, handy washing machine. I would highly recommend a stay.

Thank you, Lindsay, Andy & Mabel (woof)
