December 2, 2022 by Alison in

Our wee family came to Crosskeys Cottage for a birthday weekend and a wee retreat from our busy lives.
What we found when we arrived was a beautiful environment and a wonderful experience. Our stay has been faultless, Rupert has loved his time here and he will certainly miss all the smells, leaves, rocks and sticks !!
He has made loads of friends around the Loch.

Thank you for allowing us to stay, I am sure we will be back again !
