Thank you for a cosy stay in the Crosskeys Cottage.  We loved coming back and getting cosy in front of the log burner.

Whilst we were here, we visited Balloch, Luss, which were very nice places to visit and see Loch Lomond.  We also visited the Isle of Mull on a ferry from Oban and visited Tobermory (Highly recommended).
