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.

Glen Fruin is a delightful cottage, anything that we could need had already been thought of.
The views and local areas were stunning and the cottage was perfectly located.
We’ve had a very peaceful visit and would absolutely come again.
It surpassed all expectations.

Thank you,

We have thoroughly enjoyed staying here in this beautiful cottage! (Crosskeys Cottage).

We had lunch in our favourite pub in Balmaha – The Oak Tree – lovely food, lovely service and dog friendly!
We had a drive up to Millarrochy Bay which is a beautiful spot, and also a drive down to Greenock for a walk along the esplanade. We also had a walk around Luss, one of our favourite spots, very picturesque and the addition of the new distillery was great – we can recommend going there for coffee and cake.

We will certainly recommend this cottage to everyone and will hopefully be back ourselves too!

Thank you, Laura, Chris and Otis (the sausage dog!)

Thank you Alison & Craig for the most splendid stay at your wonderful lodge.
We have had the most amazing week.The Lodge is so homely equipped with everything you need
for a home from home,if not better. My son studies at Strathclyde University and the Lodge was a
peaceful retreat for him. We traveled all over including visiting relatives in Bannockburn.
We are sad to leave this immaculate cottage and its two endearing hosts, we hope to come back in February.
