21st – 25th March 2026

March 25, 2026 by Alison in

We spent our honeymoon here, in this beautiful little cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).
Loch Lomond is magical, especially when approached on foot via the RSPB site just down the road past Balloch. Stunning views and lots of wildlife to see. I’m still convinced the bird we saw behind the cottage was a Golden Eagle, way too large for a buzzard.

Thank you Alison & Craig for making the cottage so cosy and restful, we have loved every minute of our stay and hope to be back again in the future.

Best wishes from Rachel, Richard & Juno (woof)
