The location of the accommodation was wonderful, the scenery was beautiful, very peaceful. The accommodation was exceptional.You have places to eat/drink within 10/20 minutes drive away, and you can go into Dunoon itself for local supermarkets etc should you need to replenish your supplies. It was well worth the 9 hour drive to get there.
