We’ve enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and very attractive Cottage (Crosskeys). We chose the location partly to revisit some of the places we know from long ago, as we youth hostelled in the Trossachs in the 1950’s. Quite a lot of changes, but of course the scenery is just as splendid. New to us was the woodland garden at Ardkinglas and can recommend a visit to see some wonderful trees; also taking the little road to Stronachlachar to enjoy the lovely views of Loch Katrine. Even the wet days were happily spent in Glasgow – a fine city with lots of interest.

The preserved buildings from the 1700s give an authentic insight into how people lived and worked in the north and west of Scotland. You can wander freely around the houses and farm buildings furnished with everyday objects from time gone by.
