I have had a fabulous week staying at Crosskeys Cottage. Such a charming cottage with fab features and lovely décor! I have well and truly fallen in love with the cottage and the area, just wish I didn’t have to go home tomorrow…
Thanks Craig for lending me your wok to cook my clams from Loch Fyne, they were delish. Places to go – I really recommend ‘Pucks Glen’ near Dunoon. Loch Fyne restaurant. Fruin Farm Restaurant (over the road from here) also does a lovely breakfast. Inverary is lovely too as is the most amazing views on the drive up there.
Thanks again and hope to be back soon!
