An excellent holiday.  Crosskeys Cottage very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Ideal location for walking and just generally relaxing.

Very enjoyable stay and would recommend it to friends and relatives.  Hopefully will return.

This is a real gem ideally situated for access to both city and country.  We found it easy to travel to Glasgow city centre by way of the excellent train service from Balloch and the numerous sea lochs in the area are really worth exploring.

My fire lighting and fire stoking skills have really improved and we hope to invest in a wood burning stove in our own home within the very near future.

We have had such a lovely stay here and are both really sad to be going home!  The Lodge is perfectly located for heading into Glasgow or for nice walks in Luss and Balmaha.

We loved coming home to the huge whirlpool bath, fireplace and enormous bed, especially after our long drive to Fort William!

Thank you for an amazing holiday in Scotland!

One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in.  Excellent facilities and a really comfy bed!

We had a lovely relaxing week and were lucky with the weather (only one wet day).

Stirling was an excellent day out,  the Trossachs Trail was beautiful, Balloch Country Park was good for a leg stretch, Antartex Village was a waste of time! but  Auchentoshen distillery is well worth a visit.

This is one place we would come back to.

Lovely cottage, very cosy and loved the fire!

Very close to most of the landmarks and a lot of beautiful walks around the area.  Local towns are very friendly and inviting.

A very relaxing week.

Thank you.

Lovely place to stay, real value for money.  Great location for venturing out.

Can recommend Doune Castle (Near Stirling) for the Monty Python fans; followed by an outstanding meal at Deanston Distillery.  Hill House is a must for Charles Rennie Mackintosh fans.

4th to 11th October 2014


Here in Loch Lomond for family wedding at Lodge on Loch Lomond, Luss which was a fantastic day with weather to match.

Our second visit to Glenfruin Lodge which is a cosy place to come back to after sightseeing days in the area.

This visit also incorporated the ‘Scottish Referendum’.  We soaked up the atmosphere in Glasgow and were relieved with the “No” result and Scotland is still part of the UK.

Hope to see you again this time next year.

We have had a lovely week here in the Loch Lomond area, our first visit to this part of the country.

The Cottage was warm and cosy and very well equipped.  Well situated, only a short drive to Helensburgh or Balloch, everything you need for a happy holiday.
