Thank you Alison and Craig for a wonderful stay in Glenfruin Lodge. It was so cosy and comfortable with everything we needed to make our stay special. We enjoyed our trips to Oban, Inverary and Balloch with a special mention to Auchindrian (historical scottish hamlet) – well worth a visit.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Craig & Alison, for a lovely stay at Crosskeys Cottage. It is really very cosy, beautifully equipped and decor natural. The Cottage is ideally situated for getting around and we have really enjoyed our stay despite rain showers most of the week. Everything you need to feel at home – we are so relaxed.

Your countryside is marvelous. We loved Hill House in Helensburgh, Conic Hill at Balmaha, Inversnaid waterfall, Luss Village, Inverary Castle, three sisters of Glencoe, the West Highland Railway line and Portencross & Largs.

Best Wishes

Very comfortable stay in the beautiful stone Crosskeys Cottage.
Hill House in Helensburgh was amazing & nice cafe. Went to Tarbet where you can pick up Loch Lomond cruises – but we hadn’t booked tickets beforehand…

Saw the Falls of Falloch (worth a visit) and stopped at a ‘haunted’ pub – The Drovers Inn – good food and beer (haggis, neeps & tatties). Visited Carrick Castle just past Lochgoilhead (a ruin) but what a peaceful spot with some lovely walks – Cormonachan Community Woodlands was a good walk.

Aberfoyle – nice river walk leads to ‘Rabbit Hill Nature Trail’ followed by lunch at ‘The Fairie Tree’ pub – lovely Cullen Skink soup! Then on to Loch Katrine where you can go on the steamship – but beware of the 3.15pm sailing as it only goes one way, as we discovered to our disappointment!

Inverary Castle is fantasic and the jail is worth a visit. Lots of places to eat & drink. We enjoyed great beer and food at The George.

Do go and see the wonderful 10 acre garden at Glenarn in Rhu – its very impressive and only £6 each!

Thank you to Alison & Craig for providing such a great place to stay and the dogs loved the garden!

The Hill House (National Trust property) – Helensburgh

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a revolutionary architect and designer and The Hill House is considered to be his domestic masterpiece. Mackintosh and his wife Margaret created almost everything, from the building itself to the furniture and textiles. More examples of his work can be seen in Glasgow.https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-hill-house
