Thanks so much.  Crosskeys cottage was perfect – close to Alan’s mum in Helensburgh and great for Loch Lomond, Glasgow, Stirling etc…

The kids had a fabulous time and loved staying in a 300+ year old cottage.

What a beautiful place to come and stay, we have had a wonderful time discovering this part of Scotland.  Scenes that take your breath away and it started her in this lovely cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).

Hope we may come back this way again.

Thank you.

We’ve enjoyed our stay at Crosskeys Cottage.  Visited Helensburgh, Balloch, Luss (it’s pretty), up to Tarbet (took ferry across to Inversnaid), then over to Stirling Castle (worth a visit), up to Inverary (castle & jail and nice coffee, shops etc) stopped off at Loch Fyne on way back (picked up some yummy salmon).

In terms of dining, we liked the boathouse at Cameron House Hotel, good food plus beautiful setting and the Duck Bay Hotel again fab setting.

Really enjoyed our stay in the Lodge, which is very comfortable.

The scenery is fantastic and the walk along the ‘loop’ can be recommended, all set off with the very best of Scottish Weather.

Thank you!

This has been a lovely break for us.  The weather could have been better but it’s not been cold so hasn’t stopped us from venturing out.

The cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) is very comfortable and didn’t miss a thing from home.  The bed was wonderful & so much room.

We’ll definitely be recommending this one.  Spotted an eagle in the trees to the left of the patio, but didn’t see ‘Shadow’ (the cat).

Thank you for a lovely stay.

The Cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) is perfect for a relaxing break and we had a great week exploring the Trossachs.

Loch Katrine is beautiful and well worth walking around and Conic Hill gives amazing views of Loch Lomond.

We will definitely be back.  Thanks for a great week.

We came here for our honeymoon, the Lodge was perfect, great area, nice and quiet with access to plenty of different places.

The Lodge is lovely and spacious.  We have really enjoyed our time here.

We would definitely come again and recommend to friends.

Glenfruin Lodge has been the perfect place to relax and unwind.  Very spacious for two with a very comfortable ‘executive’ sized bed, with the added luxury of a whirlpool bath!

A beautiful area to explore; bluebells everywhere!  Enjoyed Inverary Castle – excellent hilltop walk for spectacular views over Loch Fyne; Balmaha – lovely lochside walking; Loch Katrine – very peaceful for walking and the ‘cruise’; The Hill House – a ‘grand design’ to enjoy.

Thank you for the warm welcome and fresh flowers…
