We organised a break here just a day or so before arriving. We were due to fly to New Zealand on Friday 19th Oct but had to cancel at the 11th hour. Our visit here was to allow us to get away, help get over the disappointment of not going to New Zealand and to help us recharge our batteries for challenges ahead. Glenfruin Lodge has played a pivotol role in helping us unwind, enjoy a good sleep and celebrate our great love for each other. The Lodge is beautiful, relaxing and everthing we needed at this moment.
Thank you for allowing us to stay here at such short notice. The break has been perfect for us… the right place at the right time.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a revolutionary architect and designer and The Hill House is considered to be his domestic masterpiece. Mackintosh and his wife Margaret created almost everything, from the building itself to the furniture and textiles. More examples of his work can be seen in Glasgow.https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-hill-house

There are many distilleries near to Crosskeys:- Glengoyne (Killearn), Deanstone (Doune), Auchentoshan (Clydebank/Glasgow), Glenturret (Crieff), Eradour (Pitlochry), Blair Athol (Pitlochry) Aberfeldy and Oban.https://trossachs.co.uk/whisky/
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.
