4th – 10th June 2022

June 11, 2022 by Alison in

Had a fantastic holiday at Crosskeys Cottage. Alison and Craig made us so welcome and the cottage is beautiful.

We travelled about with our 3 dogs who loved running about. Places that we loved: Tyndrum as a stop off on our way to Oban. Ganavan sands near Oban is beautiful. Our favourite place was Balmaha, had coffee in St Moocha, Millarochy bay is unspoilt and stunning. Balloch walk along the river and Balloch castle country park. Lochgoilhead, stunning small village. Ardentinny beach (lovely but take a packed lunch as very remote and no coffee shops). Tarbet, loch lomond, excellent for wild swimming. Aberfoyle was our favourite village and finally the beautiful village of Luss which is just down the road.

Thank you Alison & Craig from Angie, Lee and the 3 furry ones – Flynn, Dora and Daisy
