29th December – 5th January 2026

January 5, 2026 by Alison in

Quite simply superb! Like a second honeymoon!

We love Crosskeys cottage and so appreciated all the little touches – the well equipped kitchen (we only ate out twice), the amazing log fire, the gorgeous bathroom with its heated floor, the christmas decorations and the wee gifts made it all so magical and special. It really was a ‘home from home’ for us.

We stayed pretty local – walks, trips to Helensburgh – The Hill House (wow!). Thanks to Craig for giving us a lift to the Inn on Loch Lomond for our Hogmanay celebrations – it was truly memorable.

We went to Luss church for their 1st service of the year – lovely and welcoming.

We’d love to come back sometime.

Many, many thanks and all the very best for 2026 and beyond.
