About this cottage rental

Alder Cottage sleeps five people in two bedrooms. On the ground floor there is an open plan vaulted sitting room and dining area with pine beams, oak flooring and a wood burning stove.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2024
We found Alder Cottage situated in a very scenic spot, however our first impressions of the cleanliness was very disappointing. On arrival we entered the cottage and as the light was fading I turned on both floor lamps either side of the fireplace., unfortunately they both were full of cobwebs and dust, the lights on the wall above the fire were also full of cobwebs. The 2 sofas in the living room obviously had not been hoovered as there were a load of crumbs and food under the cushions. The first morning we went to make breakfast, I lifted the frying pan out only to feel grease on the base and hardened food on actual inside of pan, which I had to start cleaning. There were also cobwebs in upstairs bathroom corners with spiders attached. The cottage itself was charming but I have to agree with other customers about the heaters. We found the cottage to be cold and baring in mind we had a beautiful week of weather for September it was cold both morning and night which meant you definitely needed to use fire in living area to be comfortable. Just be aware of the cost of blocks if you burn a fire as it can add quite a bit onto your stay. Apart from these mostly cleanliness issues Alder cottage is charming its such a pity attention to detail was lacking.

The cottage facilities are very good and although it’s in a quiet location there is plenty to do and see within easy access of the cottage.
The wildlife around the cottage ranging from many different birds to squirrels and seals and porpoises in the loch.
For provisions, Dunoon is only 20 minutes drive and has 2 good supermarkets.

Had a great relaxing holiday away from it all ( the good weather was a bonus). Lots of walks to do and some great scenery. Would recommend the strone inn for food. Welcome pack was a lovely touch.
