10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The cottage is in an excellent location, just across the road from the sea loch. Our host Andrew welcomed us personally and made us feel like his guest, help and advice available if needed. The location provided a base to explore the local area and a tranquil place to retreat to at night. Dunoon down the road provided great food and a relaxing promenade. All in all we had a great family week away.

Lovely looking cottage, nice enclosed garden and lots of room.
Ideal, quiet location.
Helpful host.
Slight downside in that the three armchairs are VERY old, stained and definitely need replacing or should have throws to cover them. The iron ( which leaks badly ) and hairdryer haven't been PAT tested for two years, which needs addressing as both are ( again ) old items showing their age.
In summary, a good cottage which could be excellent if given some TLC to spruce it up.

This property is in a perfect location for exploring Argyll, an hour from Loch lomond, a short drive from Dunoon and the botanical gardens. There are also some beautiful beaches nearby at Kilbride Bay (even in the rain).
The house itself is spacious and well kept with all the amenities you could need. It's well furnished and serviced. The hosts next door are very helpful and welcoming, and although we didn't use, the open wood stock and honesty style freezer are great touches. My only suggestion for an improvement would be a comfier mattress in the master bedroom, but it certainly wouldn't stop us returning again for a lovely visit!
