On arrival the key was available in the lockbox (passcode supplied by Craig before we travelled). The cottage was clean and tidy. Kitchen facilities were excellent. Bedroom was comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was excellent, with shower and spa bath. Cottage is located in an excellent area, which was central to everything we wanted to visit. There were bus stops located outside of the property. However, we drove and didn’t use the bus service. All in all a beautiful property, ideally situated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful rural cottage with a comfortable bed and all one might need for a relaxing stay. The garden is fully fenced so even my escape artist chihuahua could not get out. Loch Lomond is just a 10 minute drive away and shopping and other entertainment can be found within a quick 15 minute drive. The host, Craig was very helpful and good for a chat.

Crosskeys cottage was comfortable, clean and well equipped. There was a fully enclosed garden perfect for our two dogs. The only downside was the mini roundabout directly outside the property, from which there was a constant stream of traffic a very short distance from cottage itself, which was noisy outside but insde not really noticeable. Overall a very comfortable stay, beautiful cottage, shame about the roundabout.

My partner and I (and our dog) had a lovely couple of days at Crosskeys Cottage in November this year. The cottage itself was lovely - everything looked new and well-cared for. We were both impressed that all the switches and important things were clearly labelled. The spa bath was a particular treat and we loved using the stove in the evening because it was pretty nippy outside. The location is great for reaching Helensburgh, Loch Lomond, and for making your way up the lower West Highlands. Thank you, Alison and Craig, for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage!

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.

Beautiful little cottage. Everything you need supplied apart from food and drink, there was a pint of fresh milk in the fridge which was a welcome bonus, Washing machine really useful but no washing line to hang it out, but pegs supplied under sink though. It has its own dedicated wifi, which works a treat, The cottage is next to a small roundabout and you could just hear the traffic in and out but didn't detract from the cottage. Grassed area where you can sit and round the side a barbecue and small area with table and chairs. Would we consider booking again? Definitely

We really enjoyed our recent stay at this beautiful cottage. It was very comfortable and everything you would need was provided. Spent many evening in the lovely whirlpool bath after exploring the wonderful surrounding areas of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Wonderful friendly hosts, Alison and Craig, who were extremely helpful whenever we needed assistance. Would definitely recommend a visit here 5*

The most lovely cottage!

This was our first holiday with our 14 week old puppy and it was by far the best place to take her! The cottage is in a great location for walks around Loch Lomond and has the most homely feel. We loved the wood burning stove the most, perfect in the autumn! The garden was nice and secure for our puppy to play in and Craig and Alison were so lovely to us, we will definitely go back for another stay.

Ideal location.

Despite its proximity to a busy road the property was well insulated from road noise. Well equipped for two. Only adverse comment is the bed, which we have to admit we did find too soft. Apart from that would certainly recommend.

A lovely cottage, with a good sized living room with open fire. And a great base for walking - there are lots of walks you can do directly from the cottage, the loch is just over a mile away. Or for driving further afield, the cottage makes an excellent base from which to explore the area.

We loved our stay. The cottage was lovely with everything we could have needed. Some reviews have complained about the roundabout and poor wifi, neither have been an issue for us in any way what so ever, you can't please everyone. Our dogs were sad to leave too. The brew making bits and bobs on arrival was very much appreciated. We could not fault our stay or our hosts who were very friendly and welcoming. I would reccomend this cottage to anyone!! Thank you!!!! :)

Short break of 3 nights, really lovely cottage, well situated for sightseeing, and very well equipped. Absolutely spotless inside and out , and just a nice size for us .Had a nice little fenced area with table and chairs, and barbecue, but was too wet to use!the only problem was the low wall round the main part of the garden, easy to clamber over for dog or child if unattended for a minute, and it’s right on a busy roundabout.

nettes Haus an zu lauter Strasse

nettes Haus an zu lauter Strasse

Schönes Haus mit schönem Holzboden, niedrige Deckenhöhe was bei einem historischen Haus aber nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Der Kamin ohne Holz macht wenig Sinn, ist aber schön anzuschauen ;-) Die Dusche ist groß, aber abends kann nur noch eine Person mit halbwegs warmen Wasser duschen, dann ist das Wasser kalt. Fanden wir nicht so toll. Im Bad ist auch der Kaltwasserhahn am Waschbecken immer extrem laut und er Warmwasserhahn ist lose. Das sollte sich der Vermieter mal anschauen. Das Bett könnte mal eine neue bessere Matratze vertragen. Leider liegt das Haus an einer sehr lauten Durchfahrtsstraße nach Helensburgh. Die Vermieter sind nette Leute und sehr freundlich

Wir sind sehr herzlich empfangen worden . Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt . Es wäre hilfreich, wenn man in der Beschreibung beifügt , das der Kreisverkehr sehr befahren wird und man ihn deshalb sehr hört . Und man braucht schon ein Auto. Da man an einer Straße wohnt muss man immer ein Stück fahren um schöne Wanderungen ohne Straße zu machen . Hat aber uns nicht die Freude genommen . Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt . Wir lieben Schottland . Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich . Auch der telefonische Kontakt vorher war prima .
