Views and close to loch 🏴
Blocked drainage in shower and problem with hot water and the heating. Hosts should spend more time fixing problems and clean the cottage. Great location an the views best part of it

The views and the way the cottage was decorated and done out.
Few practical details like not quite enough mugs, no bun for dog poo bags and no instructions on hearing but very small fry compared to everything else.

Everything!
We were unable to get hot water on Sunday morning but it wasn’t too much of an issue!

The location was beautiful. The bathrooms both clean.
Aside from the bathrooms the other rooms were grubby. As soon as we got inside I noticed the greasy marks on the inside of most windows. The dining room table was dirty. Although it offers a log burner and a bag of logs there was no kindling or fire lighters to help light the fire. The coffee table and skirting boards in the tv room were dirty as was the window in that room. The wall paper behind the log burner was torn and coming away from the wall.
The general lighting was quite dim in each room. There are lots of cupboards containing implements that look not their best. In the kitchen top shelves were very dusty.
Upon going to bed I noticed the bottom sheet had black and pinky purple marks all over one side. This looked like mould. The following morning we looked closer at the bedroom and found it to be extremely dusty. The bedframe was dusty, the table side lamps coated in dust and so was the wardrobe. This wasn't what we expected after reading the ratings which were so good. I expect things to be clean upon arrival and not have to inform the owner. We left Sunday morning after one night's stay as we felt the cottage didn't meet our expectations.

We loved how the cottage had been lovingly decorated and how spacious it was. Having the log burner was a really nice thing. It was a very quiet location and the cottage felt like it could hold lots of people easily.
Having to navigate showers for five females was a bit of a challenge and took us a while to get ready in the morning to allow the water to heat back up again.

The property was beautifully decorated to a very high standard and the views/garden were stunning. The host was very accommodating and happy to help with any queries and questions. I would definitely recommend staying here.
The radiator in the kitchen (which is a large part of the property) was not working throughout my stay and it made the room extremely cold.

looked beautiful and was larger than we anticipated. views are spectacular
shower flooded so water everywhere. let owner know and drain unblocker put down but this was much worse the next morning. bath also plug does not stay secure so this drained slowly while in the bath.

Great spacious cottage in quiet rural location with nice view across the fields. Both the lake Loch Lomond and Glasgow within reach.
Wifi was unreliable but a result of the remote location.

THe house is very spacious! Large kitchen and living room with beautiful view. Good location next to large garden of ownersm but with lots of privacy. Nicely decorated. One bedroom downstairs and an open floor upstairs in direct connection with the kitchen downstairs, spacious with 2 beds and we had an extra foldable stretcher for our 3rd kid. Tumble dryer available.
You get one bag of wood for free for the fireplace in the kitchen, which is very nice. Be careful, since the bedroom upstairs is in open connection with the kitchen (no doors/walls) the smell of smoke stays in that bedroom.
Very easy and friendly communication with the owners.
The house has lots of potential, since its is so spacious. But a few basics aren't comfortable: To be able to get a hot shower, there is an instruction to switch the central heating on and another extra button at least 30 min. in advance. We did so, but in 2 days we tried several times and waited for at least 1-2 hours, none of the 5 of us managed to get a warm shower. The water was maximum lukewarm mosty. Not comfortable. Waterpressure in the whole house is also very low, kitchen and bathrooms, so e.g. long hair can't be rinsed from shampoo in the shower.
A busy raod about 300m from the housem which you hear as well,

If you're looking for a rural location with beautiful views & local wildlife it is an exceptional choice. We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was so cozy and adorable & had everything we could need! It was close enough to Glasgow but also had quick access to the Devils pulpit and various trails and loch access. I liked that the owners were close by if any issues were to arise, but they definitely gave us our privacy.
The internet could have been loads better, it was the worst connection we experienced out of all of the places we stayed. It was also curious that when we had returned from our first day trip into Glasgow two windows were opened that we hadn't opened prior to departure for the day. I was just curious if the owners had come in and opened them.

Pretty cottage in a beautiful setting. Nicely decorated and very spacious.
DVD player didn’t work and the family games were all broken - would be better just to remove these as the kids were disappointed after seeing them.
