Our stay at Stable Cottage was everything we had hoped for. Thpe property was clean, comfortable and as described on the website. The owners provided all the relevant information we needed. It made our stay memorable and would certainly like to visit again. Thank you for a great family holiday.
We had a blissful two weeks stay at Stable Cottage. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and really well equipped, it also felt incredibly warm and welcoming.
The garden area was brilliant for our two little boys, building camps, running off energy and chatting to the cows in field next door.
The surrounding area is full of adventure, climbing hills to see ruined hill cottages, visits to the sandy beach at Westport and Southend, hot chocolate in Campbletown and a speed boat ride from the harbour not to mention the wildlife, seals, golden eagle, porpoise and dolphins - spectacular!
It’s worth saying that we had real issues with our car which made us less mobile than expected, we needed a new clutch and a reconditioned gear box all sorted by Alan Glen at AG Autos, who went above and beyond!
Despite the stress and extra cost of this it made sure we stayed put more than we might and were able to relish the incredible surroundings of Stable Cottage with the occasional hire car from the very helpful Kintyre Hire.
Mary was always quick to respond to our queries and we felt very well looked after by the community as a whole, a really friendly “wee toon”
We’ll be back!
Beautifully located cottage with enough space to sleep four people. Very helpful landlords and elaborate descriptions of walks, local sights and amenities. The bathroom is a bit quaint, but overall a very enjoyable experience, especially if you're after some peace and quiet.
Nettes kleines Haus mit wunderschönem Blick in die Landschaft, Wohn-, Schlafzimmer und Küche sehr sauber, Schlafzimmer sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Leider ist das Bad sehr alt und wirkt renovierungsbedürftig.
Etwas überraschend war, dass es keine Mülltonne auf dem Grundstück gab. Man muss den Müll sammeln, trennen (finden wir sinnvoll) und zu einer Recycling Station bringen. Leider gibt es nur ein Müllgefäß in der Küche, wir haben uns zum trennen mit Einkaufstaschen geholfen.
No problems. Nice comfortable living room and good kitchen area. Nice big garden. WiFi and television signal were slow but wasn’t an issue for us. Great place if you want peaceful escape.
Lovely comfortable cottage in a peaceful location. The kitchen has been renovated since the pictures and is now quite modern. The new patio was lovely, we enjoyed star gazing from there. The wifi is reliable but the TV reception comes and goes a bit. The cottage is near some beautiful beaches which are so quiet even on a beautiful day. I hope to return again.
We had a fantastic time staying here. We had everything we needed...... Saw seals, Mull of Kintyre in the fog and then in the glorious sunshine and the sheep on the beach! We loved the area and would love to visit some of the bits we missed visiting this time. Thank you!
