A lovely place to stay, quiet and secluded. It's small but well equipped and everything worked well. No cell phone reception because of the enclosed valley location but the wifi is excellent. There are good hill walks directly from the cottage and lots more within a 20 minute drive. Have stayed before and will hopefully stay again next year.

Mark and Alison are great hosts. They go above and beyond to make your stay is very welcoming, peaceful and comfortable. This was my second stay at their cottage. It's the perfect getaway to do some soul searching. Hiking, walks, travelling to other costal towns were they are easy to get to from the cottage by car. There's also a bus stop on the main road if like me, you don't drive. Suitable for loan travellers. A romantic break or go with a friend. Their cottage has everything you need for a home from home. Having the log burner adds to the atmospheric surroundings of the beautiful Scottish countryside. I highly recommend their beautiful cottage. Thank you for your hospitality. Self catering at your leisure. Thank you

Glenbranter Cottage is the perfect base to stay whilst exploring the Cowal Peninsula it's set within the Argyle National Park, with lovely forest and river walks, with fantastic and scenic waterfalls literally on the doorstep. The whole peninsula is within easy driving range, with too many scenic routes to list. The cottage is small but perfect for two, it is finished to a high standard and has everything you may need for your stay. The hosts were very helpful and polite, and I would not hesitate to recommend this location.

Alison and Mark, owners/hosts are amazing. Nothing was too much for them. I don't drive. Both offered to drive to the village to the shops if I needed anything. Their beautiful cottage had everything you need. An added bonus was a log burner, coal also provided. Bottle of prossecco as a welcome gift. Lovely surprise. The scenery is outstanding.. its a one bedroom rustic modern cottage. Also has heating installed. Instructions folder for all appliences and maps of the area and surrounding areas. All local amenities are alsovin the folder with emergency numbers too. There is a river which runs through just across from the cottage with use of their huge garde. Stunning forest trail set in a beautiful valley. Cant thank them enough for their hospitality. I highly recommend their beautiful cottage. Their house is next door which made me feel comfortable as I ravel on my own. Another added bonus is they except up to 2 pets too. I had my new cat and a friends dog with me.. Thank you Alison and Mark for making my childhood dream Christmas break come true.v
