About this cottage rental

Fraser Cottage is one of the Dunmore Cottages on 120 acres of peace and tranquillity on the shores of West Loch Tarbert in South Knapdale, just seven miles from the fishing village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne.

The owners purchased Dunmore House and Cottages in 2015/16 which sits on a beautiful estate with stunning views over West Loch Tarbert. They have an exciting vision for Dunmore which continues to be realised and includes the full renovation of the self-catering cottages. Their aim is to create a fabulous destination on the West Coast of Scotland providing excellent facilities with a homely feel.

The renovation of Fraser Cottage was completed in December 2018 and under the previous quality assurance system of Visit Scotland the cottage achieved 5 stars. Fraser Cottage is a luxury traditional 2 storey stone cottage. The Cottage comprises two ensuite bedrooms on the 1st floor with showers and underfloor warming in the en-suites. The master bedroom has a king size bed and the other bedroom two single beds. Downstairs the kitchen and dining area are fully equipped to the highest standard including dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine.

The living room has a wood burning stove to provide a lovely cosy feel and a 4k curved screen TV. Patio doors lead out onto the terrace (with table & chairs, gas BBQ and outdoor wood burning heater) and onwards into the garden area where you can catch the morning sun and watch, through the trees, the ferry sail by to the island of Islay several times a day.

The estate is named after the Bronze age fort which tops the spectacular cliffs above the house. These cliffs afford breathtaking views of the West Loch and out to the islands of Gigha and to Islay, famous for its whisky making.
Dunmore Cottages are a perfect vacation retreat either to relax by the open wood fires or enjoy the many outdoor activities that are available. Located on the shores of West Loch Tarbert, and only 7 miles from the picturesque fishing village of Tarbert, guests can enjoy the many hiking trails, and abundant wildlife, take a trip to the nearby Loch Stornoway sandy beach or further afield to the lovely 6 mile long Westport beach, sample the excellent area restaurants (the award winning Kilberry Inn is only 8 miles away), visit the inner Hebridean Islands of Islay and Jura, whisky tasting at the numerous distilleries, visit the historic Kilmartin Glen, walk the beautiful gardens on the Isle of Gigha or Brodick Castle on the Island of Arran.

Tarbert sports a 9-hole golf course. Horseback riding and fishing are also available locally.

Dunmore self catering cottages are very popular with couples looking for a break off the beaten track, individual families looking to go out exploring the surrounding areas or for family get togethers by renting both cottages.

Dogs are welcome in Fraser Cottage. Please note in Fraser we will accept a maximum of one large/medium dog or two small dogs.

Bookings for Easter, May, June, July, August, September and Christmas are generally for 7 nights, running from Saturday to Saturday. Minimum 4 night stays at other times of the year. Please contact us to check.
Prices are inclusive of accommodation, linens, towels, cleaning, electricity and logs for the fire. If you have more family or friends wanting to stay, then why not rent our two bedroom Ross Cottage or our three bedroom Macmillan Cottage.

    Well-decorated and very comfortable; kitchen well-outfitted. Nice patio looking over a lush lawn with a beautiful view of the loch. Loved watching the sheep across the way. So enjoyed conversations with the owner and his brother and greatly appreciated their gracious hospitality with a tour of castle under renovation.

    We were in Argyll for a wedding and so pleased we booked this cottage. It was perfect in every way and we all felt very relaxed. Only complaint was that we wish we had booked it for more than 4 day!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was off the beaten track, well away from the crowds, which is our preference. Fraser Cottage is set is beautiful surrounds, with endless views. The perfect getaway from it all. The property is very tastefully decorated and very warm. There was no need for the log burner. The kitchen has all the equipment you would need and everything was spotless. Bedrooms are spacious and airy, with comfortable beds, thank God. We fully recommend a visit to Fraser Cottage. You’ll not be disappointed!

    Fraser is a beautiful cottage, stylishly decorated and appointed and the perfect place to relax in wonderful peaceful grounds. Many lovely places to visit locally with a variety of possible routes to access the Kintyre peninsular makes Tarbert a great location for a holiday.

    The property is immaculate inside and out. I can't think of a single thing that was missing or was not top of the range. It's remote but not excessively so - as soon as you get used to the single track road you will be zipping into and out of Tarbert. And the big advantage of that is that your peace and quiet won't be disturbed by anything. The location is actually perfect - we went to Islay and Gigha for the day as well as the Mull of Kintyre. None of these trips had excessive driving times. And of course our dog loved the property, the gardens, and the walk to the nearby loch. The weather was pefect. Sunny and cloudless on two days. Can't promise that is normal for the location though, Finally you might be a bit concerned about the limited wi-fi. We are with EE and were able to run everything off mobile hot spots so did not even use it. Can't recommend this place highly enough.
