A cosy and comfortable Cottage that had everthing we needed.  As I was here on a course I did not manage to visit many of the attractions in the area, which means we will have to come back again!  And I would have no hesitation in coming back to Crosskeys.

I can highly recommend Duck Bay Restaurant – lovely food, good service and an amazing view over the Loch.
