A lovely, charming, quaint cottage ideally located. Peace, quiet, relaxation is what you get if it’s what you need. It was great to come back to a place I haven’t been since the 70’s.
Loch Lomond is beautiful and you must go to the Birds of Prey centre (10 mins away) and if you walk up the lane from cottage you might catch a glimpse of a buzzard on his hunt. We saw him 3-4 times, wonderful to see.
Another must is Glencoe and Fort William (or venture further on) the highlands are amazing. Just a short drive to Luss and the Loch is just perfect – chill and peace. You will get a lovely meal at the Loch Lomond Hotel and if you fancy ‘take away’ ‘indian meal’, then go to the ‘Akash’ in Helensburgh – on Sinclair street. Lovely – we went twice!
It was great that we could bring our dog ‘Jake’ – he loved it also. Would love to come back and encourage friends and family to do the same.
Thanks for a lovely time.

Located on the banks of Loch Lomond, off the A82, 5 miles north of Crosskeys. Occupation of this area dates back to medieval times, but much of the village and the neat rows of cottages were built in the 18th and 19th centuries to house workers from the nearby slate quarries and featured in the […]
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.
You cannot come to Scotland without discovering the secrets of our ‘water of life’. 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/
