Thank you so much for letting us book your gorgeous, cosy little cottage (Crosskeys cottage) so last minute.  It was perfect for the quiet, relaxed mini break we wanted to bring in the new year.  The Christmas decorations were also a lovely touch.

We didn’t do much exploring of the local area, but the sealife centre is worth a visit for a few hours and has a lovely view of Loch Lomond from the café.

Wishing everyone every happiness for 2018!
