Rhoda’s Cottage is a charming semi detached property located in the small village of Strachur, which lies on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne - famous throughout the United Kingdom for the quality of its sea food. Attached to the west wing of the historic Strachur House, this attractive, tranquil cottage enjoys a private setting with its own front entrance. It occupies an idyllic location on the 2000 acre Strachur Estate. The antique yet practical household furniture ensures Rhoda’s Cottage retains its charming, old fashioned character and charm. The larger bedrooms overlook the spectacular formal gardens of the main house and beyond to the heather clad hills.
The smaller bedroom has a view over the much loved loch. Strachur House itself, a fine Adams style mansion, was built by General John Campbell in the 1780s. From 1957 the house was home to the illustrious Scot, Sir John Fitzroy MacLean, the soldier, diplomat and adventurer, who was said to have been the model for Ian Fleming’s hero, James Bond. The Maclean family still live in the main house. The local village shop, cafe, Inn with bar and restaurant, petrol station, village hall and tennis courts are all within easy walking distance from the cottage.

The cottage was lovely with big rooms. Only thing is they have filled the living room with to much furniture even with just 2 of us I had to relocate some. An old unit in the hallway had to be moved as we couldn't get our cases through. Over all some of the cleaning wasn't up to scratch. I did find out when I tried to hoover the carpets before we left why. The hoover doesn't lift it's far to old and should be replaced as with the other cleaning utensils. The head gardener was a delight to talk to and the gardens a credit to her.Over all we had a lovely holiday in a beautiful area. Lots of walks on the doorstep and plenty to do.

A wonderful location, with beautiful grounds, local walks and access to village amenities. Cottage is spacious with a bright, warm kitchen diner. The view over the grounds to the loch and hills from the lounge is a treat. Some of the furnishings are a bit tired, but if you value a relaxed feeling and location this is less of an issue and we would return. Overall, an easy place as a base for a casual holiday.
