Dear Alison & Craig,
The first step we took into the Crosskeys Cottage, we felt welcome and at home. The colours, the decorations just make you feel so cosy.
It was our first holiday/vacation as a family of four. Travelling with two children under two, we thought might be a bit tricky, but turned out just fine.
We came here to visit friends of my husband who used to live in Helensburgh as a teenager. So we visited them in Garelochhead, where you have a very nice view of the Naval Base at night. The scenery all in all was just breath taking, whilst looking out the window when driving.
We went and took a walk beside the Clyde, went to Glasgow and went strolling around an Antique store. We went through Glen Fruin, which was amazing, we took the kids to Stirling Castle and got to hear the history of James V, and his two wives and their daughter Mary, told from an actress in the clothes of the past. The view of Wallace Monument and his history was also something that we found very interesting.
My husband and I decided we definitely want to come back here.
Thanks for everything.
Greetings from Germany, Rachel, Marcel, Emmelyn and Jacon
