    The house was pretty much perfect! Great location, so, so peaceful (yes, there's a road right in front, but it's not the main one). Chance to see some excellent wildlife, we saw porpoises, otters, herons, various finches, house martins and so on. Great location for walks, can set off from the house and go up The Cobbler (pretty challenging), can also walk over to Tarbet on Loch Lomond for boat trips. Stunning driving roads over to Inverary and Benmore Botanic Gardens, both great days out. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen one of the best equipped I've seen in a holiday rental, great outdoor seating spaces to relax with stunning views, lovely bathrooms and some really nice small touches that make all the difference, such as the T V being logged into the owner's Netflix account and some milk in the fridge. I think the only thing we couldn't find were pegs to hang out out clothes from a soggy day (of course, it's summer in Scotland so there's rain!!). Not much doing in Arrochar, but that's fine for us, pub just a short walk away, what more could you want?!

The road out front is quiet, much more so than on the opposite side of the lake. There is a nice pub nearby but better for a beer than for dining.

We were fortuate to have uncharacteristically spectacular weather for Argyll and got out and about to many beautiful gardens, woodlands, lochs and towns.
