Another excellent stay in this warm & comfortable cottage.  Fine base for touring the Lomond area.

We have had a wonderful stay.  Weather fantastic!

Lodge is gorgeous – bathroom is to die for.  Did not need to ask for anything.  Home from home.

We will be back.

Thank you, Steve & Julie, Surrey

Had a wonderful stay in this cosy, comfortable (Crosskeys) cottage.  A perfect base to access all around Loch Lomond.  We enjoyed visiting/walking in lots of new places – Balloch Country park, Luss, Glen Branter, Doon Hill Fairy Walk in Aberfoyle, the Waterfall at Bracklinn Falls and Glen Fruin.  If walking in Glen Branter we would recommend following the ‘yellow route’ to see the waterfalls.  Our dog ‘Flo’ (Beagle/Jack cross) had a great time exploring!

There is so much we haven’t managed to do that we would love to come back and would definitely keep this cottage in mind.

Thank you!

Dear Craig & Alison,

Thank you for a wonderful stay!  My sailor came home after a long period at sea, and Crosskeys Cottage gave him the perfect place to unwind and re-charge.  Absolutely perfect.  Can’t thank you enough.

This was our first time visiting Scotland but it definitely won’t be the last!  We arrived at Glenfruin lodge after a 6.5 hour drive and instantly felt at home.

The Lodge is spacious yet cosy with everything we needed for our week-long stay.  The bed is wonderfully comfortable, kitchen well stocked and the HUGE whirlpool bath and log burner were God sends after a long day out in the Scottish Highlands!

During our stay we visited:

– Bird of Prey Centre at Balloch – great value and very interesting.

– Sweeney’s Cruises for a 1 hour cruise of Loch Lomond.

– RSPB nature reserve at Gartocharn (lovely walk).

– Lodge Visitors Centre at Aberfoyle for wonderful Red Squirrel viewing.

– Ben Lomond – still can’t believe we climbed an actual mountain! Amazing experience & breathtaking views.

We also treated ourselves to fish & chips from the ‘Wee Kelpie’ in Helensburgh (delicious) and splashed out on the 8 course tasting menu at the Michelin star ‘Martin Wishart’ restaurant at Cameron House (amazing for us foodies!).

All in all our first visit to this beautiful country has been unforgettable – we are already planning to come back next year!  Glenfruin Lodge will definitely be our 1st choice of accommodation.

Has to be one of the cosiest cottages we have stayed in.  We have had a fantastic time visiting what can only be described as a beautiful part of the world.  We sadly had to cut our holiday short, but I think we will be back again.

Lovely stay in this beautiful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).  Wonderful to come back to a fire and whirlpool bath after a wet, cold day.  Stunning area and a wonderful place to stay.
