Very comfortable stay in the beautiful stone Crosskeys Cottage.
Hill House in Helensburgh was amazing & nice cafe. Went to Tarbet where you can pick up Loch Lomond cruises – but we hadn’t booked tickets beforehand…

Saw the Falls of Falloch (worth a visit) and stopped at a ‘haunted’ pub – The Drovers Inn – good food and beer (haggis, neeps & tatties). Visited Carrick Castle just past Lochgoilhead (a ruin) but what a peaceful spot with some lovely walks – Cormonachan Community Woodlands was a good walk.

Aberfoyle – nice river walk leads to ‘Rabbit Hill Nature Trail’ followed by lunch at ‘The Fairie Tree’ pub – lovely Cullen Skink soup! Then on to Loch Katrine where you can go on the steamship – but beware of the 3.15pm sailing as it only goes one way, as we discovered to our disappointment!

Inverary Castle is fantasic and the jail is worth a visit. Lots of places to eat & drink. We enjoyed great beer and food at The George.

Do go and see the wonderful 10 acre garden at Glenarn in Rhu – its very impressive and only £6 each!

Thank you to Alison & Craig for providing such a great place to stay and the dogs loved the garden!

A well equiped and comfortable cottage.
The location is ideal for exploring the area and there is certainly plenty to see.
We have been so lucky with the weather.

What a find this turned out to be – couldn’t believe our luck.

Well appointed, parking space for at least 2 cars & the cottage itself tastefully decorated with a super shower & spacious double bedroom.  I am also told that the sofa bed was very comfy too.  The piece de resistance though, the wood burner in the sitting room.  It was so cosy I’m surprised we left the cottage, but we checked out the Lomond Arms Hotel in Luss and the Duck Bay Marina near Balloch.

We also had a walk around the grounds of Cameron House Hotel and watched the sea plane head off to the Kyles of Bute.  We also watched the birds of prey demonstration that was presented at Cameron House too.

As we didn’t have to travel far, we had no issues with the weather or commuting on work days (for some!) and would recommend this pretty cottage with it’s great amenities and locale to everyone we meet.

Thanks a million – loved it!

“Fabulous, low-key, but characterful charm. The owners were right next door, never in our space but reassuringly there. They were relaxed about us having a dog, but we would always be respectful when in other people’s property. Loch Lomond is on the doorstep with all that amazing beauty. But special for me was seeing the Charles Rennie Macintosh’s designed house….Hill House on the outskirts of Helensburgh. All in all l would not hesitate in recommending this property to any of our nearest and dearest. Thankyou Alison for looking after us.”

Lovely cottage (Crosskeys cottage), great views – shame there wasn’t more sun.  However, we did get out to Stirling, Oban and especially the lovely park in Balloch. Plenty of walks suitable for dogs & people alike.

Many thanks, Pam & Ray Green and ‘Bella’
