We have had a most enjoyable week.  On the whole the weather has been good & warm.

We have explored the area well.  The stops at various places have been lovely.

The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped, well appointed and tastefully furnished.

Thank you.

Had a lovely week even though the weather was not kind to us on some days.

It is 12 years since we were here and very little has changed.  We will not be waiting another 12 years before we return!

This Lodge was cosy and comfortable.  A good location for visiting our relatives in Balloch.

Visited Balmaha and took in some lovely walks round the loch.  Duck Bay Marina was perfect for a family meal overlooking the loch.

We love the Cottage and the weather was dry most of the time which meant we could do plenty of walking, especially around Loch Lomond.

We went to Luss and Balmaha where we ended up climbing Conic Hill due to taking a wrong turning on the forest trail!  It was a tough climb but well worth it for the views across Loch Lomond.  We also did a lot of walking along the West Highland Way and visited Rowardennan and climbed Ben Lomond.

We walked from the cottage into Helensburgh and back and looked around the area into Glen Fruin along the road at the back of the cottage.  We have eaten out everyday with no complaints.  We wanted a walking/hiking holiday and that’s what we got, spending whole days doing just that.

The scenery of Scotland is beautiful and we have enjoyed every minute here.  A wonderful holiday, wish we could stay longer.

Dear Craig & Alison,

Had a great stay at Crosskeys it is so wonderful here, the Cottage is so comfy and well situated for the city as well as the country.  Our German Shepherds, Missy & Max loved all the walks as did we.

We will certainly recommend Crosskeys to our friends and family, quite sad to be leaving tomorrow so thanks for a wonderful stay.

We’ve had a lovely relaxing week.  Glenfruin Lodge is just perfect, has everything you need for your break.  It is a great location for exploring Loch Lomond.  We had a trip to Oban, the scenery was breath taking.

We will be back.

We have had a lovely week despite our very teethy 18 month old!

So much to see and do in the area.  Perfect location here at Glenfruin Lodge.

Highlights (child friendly obviously!) have been Luss, Balmaha (amazingly peaceful beach to ourselves!) and lovely lunch at Balloch House Hotel (pie day) followed by great playground!

Lovely cottage – well furnished with all we needed for a week of quiet evenings in and comfy sofas!

Thanks for a great stay!

We loved our stay here at Crosskeys.  A nice cosy, warm cottage (Crosskeys Cottage).  Helpful owners.  A good base to local areas of interest.  Plenty to do and see.

Enjoyed our stay here and hope to return some day.
