We had a wonderful break
This is a really comfortable cottage in a lovely peaceful spot. There were lots of places within a short drive to keep us happy, but we also enjoyed getting the little ferry to Bute and going further afield up to Inverary, then down to Tarbert and getting the ferry back from there. There's a little Marina opposite which is a nice place for a drink and a snack. Our favourite spot in the cottage was the sun room, looking out at the lovely garden and watching the many variety of birds. We had a bit of difficulty accessing WiFi, but that didn't bother us much. The owners were very helpful and welcoming.

Lovely spot with downsides.
A great house in a great place. Very warm and it had everything we needed for a family holiday. On arrival, my elderly mother opened the fridge door and it fell off and hit her on the head. The owner sourced a replacement fridge, but I had to help him shift it, and although he apologised, he showed no empathy or concern for my mum. Two of the downstairs toilets were dodgy too. The cisterns wouldn't fill without removing the lid and fiddling with the strange mechanism. This situation created stress in my mother and lessened her enjoyment of the holiday. The owner got a plumber out but the issue was not resolved. The beds. The beds were bloody awful. My wife and I had the upstairs bedroom and the bed was the worst. We were both rolling into the middle and it felt as though the mattress was full of coathangers. But, all that being said, we had a good time. There were lots of positives, the kitchen had everything and a decent cooker, the wood burner was first class, a decent TV, not that we watched it much and as I said earlier, it's in a beautiful place.

A September break
A lovely holiday in a beautiful place. We did feel that the seating is tired and could do with replacing. The cottage itself was more than adequate for our stay and we very much enjoyed ourselves.

September holiday
A lovely spacious cottage near the loch. A road at the front which was not busy . There are 3 red squirrels near by, but only saw one fleetingly. Plenty of garden birds. A quiet and peaceful situation.
