This is, without a doubt, the best holiday accommodation my husband and I have visited. It's a real home, not just a holiday let. Communication from the owner was friendly and helpful beforehand, which started the holiday off on a good point. Taking the ferry from Gourock cut off a bit of the journey, although admittedly not such a nice journey but all very efficient. The cottage itself is very comfy and cosy, we felt at home straight away and the kitchen was very well equipped. The views from the cottage were amazing, so tranquil, with beautiful sun rises and sun sets. Daily walks on the beaches each day were fabulous, there are some good forest walks around too. You'll need torches and fluorescent clothing if you are walking after dark as there are no street lights. The cottage was a great location for touring, we visited Inverary a couple of times, Lochgoilhead and Dunoon and found some lovely places to eat around and about. The photos of the cottage don't do it justice, it's been beautifully restored by the owners and you can tell they take genuine pride in others using the space. The dogs were at home in front of the large log burner too. We'll definitely return.

Fern cottage is a perfect welcoming retreat in the most beautiful peace yet not far from plenty of activities if you wish them. Great for walking and lots of cute villages nearby. Really handy for the stunning benmore gardens and with the loch views wonderful- next time I’m hoping to try a swim. It was perfect we really adored this haven. It’s a wonderful getaway but still accessible and the host Alistair was really helpful and welcoming just a phone call away. The accommodation is larger than it looks from the exterior and has everything and more provided. Loved the roaring fires and had a friend who enjoyed playing the guitar and piano which was a nice bonus. An excellently equipped spacious kitchen looking onto a beautiful garden and mountain. You can even reach here easily by local bus but also we could park the car easily only a few meters a way. There’s a brilliant pub serving delicious food just a 2 minute walk too when you don’t want to cook. Hope to return soon many thanks
