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.

Crosskeys Cottage is an amazing little cottage, lovely and clean. The area is a fantastic location to explore the local area and shops. The hosts Craig and Allison are extremely friendly and helpful, I will be looking to book again next year.

We found the cottage very comfortable and also a good base for touring.  During our stay we visited:- Dunoon, Calandar, Aberfoyle, Tarbet, Inverary – a trip to oban via Lochgilphead is well worth it.

OMG !!! I am so in love with this gorgeous cottage. We have had a brilliant week staying here, a few overcast days but mainly blue skies. Charlie , our Terrier has loved the walks especially Balloch Castle and along the beachfront in Helensburgh.
We have loved sitting on an evening just chilling and putting more logs on to the Log burner !!!

We had a warm welcome when we arrived in the pouring rain at Crosskeys.

Once inside the Cottage we picked up where we had left off a year ago, everything was first class once again.

Brilliant weather on the Sunday temp 14c sunny dawn till dusk.

On the Tuesday a very pleasant surprise a large dear in the shrubs on the left of the green hut,munching away on the low vegetation. Stirling a lovely town to visit, used the train from Helensburgh to Glasgow Queen St Station, excellent shopping 200 yards from the station all the big stores at £7.00 return per person.

This was a most welcome break so much to do if you hunt around even in November.

Dear Craig & Alison,

We have had a fantastic week here in your lovely cottage.  Yogi (our black labrador) really enjoyed himself especially in the snow which was great.  We’ve done loads of walking, will be good to have a rest!  Would recommend to friends and family.

Had a lovely holiday.  This cottage (Glenfruin Lodge) was very sweet and perfect for our needs.  Fire is fantastic, kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed.  Disappointed we didn’t meet the cat though!

Recommend checking out the Sugar Boat (restaurant) in Helensburgh – absolutely amazing food, fantastic cocktails & lovely staff.

The cottage is beautifully maintained and decorated to the highest standard. It is a perfect base for exploring the area, and a welcome retreat to return to. Everything is provided to ensure that your stay is perfection, I would highly recommend a stay at The Crosskeys Cottage.

Thank you very much for our fantastic stay at this wonderful cottage (Glenfruin Lodge).

The weather has been amazing this week which made our visit perfect.  Balmaha is a must and a trip to Inchcailloch island highly recommended.  Lunch at the Oak Tree Inn was brilliant and the food very very nice.
