We had a fantastic stay at Crosskeys Cottage. We were originally due to come over Christmas but of course Covid made sure that got cancelled. Craig & Alison were very accommodating in moving our dates.

We lucked out with the weather as it was forecast to be a washout but we got beautiful sunshine all week (the odd shower didn’t count).

We will definitely be booking to stay here again!

The stay in this nice Cottage of Craig and Alison’s was our “round up” of our Scotland holiday.

The cottage was located perfect for nature viewing and city viewing as well.  During our stay we visited Glasgow and Edinburgh and we also id walking in the Loch Lomond area.

Scotland is a great country and the place here at Crosskeys is great too.

No doubt that we will recommend Craig and Alison’s place to other German families who also plan to visit Scotland.

Many thanks for the stay and looking forward to meeting you again…. sometime…

We have had an amazing time at Crosskeys.  The Cottage is very cosy and comfortable and very well equipped.

It has been the perfect base for exploring this beautiful place.

We had a truly awesome road trip to Inverness on Tuesday, taking in the breath taking scenery of Glen Coe, Loch Ness and the many other sights the drive provided.

Afternoon tea at the Winnock Hotel in Drymen was delicious, followed by a drive to Balmaha.  We found The Riverside Museum and the Tall Ship in Glasgow a real fascinating experience, also The People’s Palace, Glasgow Cathedral and surrounding architecture, well worth a visit.

Thanks for a perfect holiday,

Christine and Mark.

We have had a truly amazing and relaxing stay at Glenfuin Lodge. Thank you for the warm welcome and spotless cottage. Thanks to Alison’s recommendations we had a wonderful time climbing Conic Hill (stunning views!) and a great trip to the island of Inchcailloch. We also drove to Glencoe and were in awe of the breathtaking scenery.

Thanks again for providing such a cosy, comfortable and well-equipped base from which to explore Loch Lomond and into the Highlands. It has been the perfect way to spend and celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary.
