Had a lovely time.  Cottage was great (Crosskeys Cottage), scenery superb and weather good.  Luss and Loch Lomond and surrounding hills lovely.

Thank you.

How lucky we were to have chosen Glenfruin Lodge!  It was our first visit to Scotland but certainly not the last.

Enjoyed very much walking right behind the house in the direction of Garelochead – although we took a turn to the left and ended up at the Marina in Rhu (nice little Café!).  The Glen Loin Loop starting at Arrochar was great, the view from Benn Dubh (from Luss) worth all the tears I cried while climbing up it.. and Loch Katrine’s shore way for a bicycle ride was fantastic.

Thanks to Alison & Craig for this lovely cottage.  We’ll certainly be back one day.

Many thanks for the use of this wonderful Cottage (Crosskeys cottage) for the 2 weeks, everything that you need for a home from home, couldn’t be better.

Would like the chance to stay again in the future, hoping for better weather.

Had a lovely week.  Very comfortable cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  Great location to visit Inverary and Oban.  Food at the Village Rest in Luss is excellent.

We had a lovely week here in a perfect arrayed little cottage.  We enjoyed the scenery around and above (from Ben Lomond).

There was even a day with sun 🙂  We finished our stay with a perfect dinner at Fruin Farm just across the road.

We had a lovely family holiday here.  The lodge is in a good central location for visiting all the nearby lochs.

There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the website and therefore we did not bring a high chair, however the owner very kindly went and bought one the following day for us.  The bed is very comfortable (hotel quality) and was very well equipped, it was a shame we didn’t get to sit in the garden because of the weather.

Lots of nice picnic locations nearby, I recommend Balmaha.

Thank you for a  lovely stay!  Very relaxing!  Such a well appointed and equipped cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  Central to everything.

Walks included Ben Lomond and The Cobbler.  Unfortunately mixed weather prevented more exploration on foot!  Toured the Trossachs and also visited Glasgow for the day.  Very convenient park and ride at Kelvinbridge Car park which is close to some galleries and museums.

Local visits included The Hill House, Geilston Gardens, a cruise on Loch Lomond, Luss, Arrochar.  Lots of things to do and see in such an idyllic setting.

Having lived for several years in an old (and cold) farm cottage in this area, we can appreciate the effort that must have gone into making Crosskeys Cottage the lovely wee house it now is.  A great base for visiting old friends.

Had a lovely peaceful break at Crosskeys cottage.  Great dog walks at Balloch – Alfie was in heaven!

Visited Helensburgh and also up to Arrochar.
