Another very relaxing week at Crosskeys, we have been coming here for many years and it is a real “home from home”
Whilst there is plenty to see locally, Glenfruin is ideally situated for trips farther afeild. to the west we have Inveraray , Lochgilphead and Oban are all well worth a visit.

Thanks again Alison & Craig for helping us have a great holiday.
