We stayed here in early October, and found the cottage very easily via the details given The cottage reasonable well equipped for a larger family, a dishwasher would be a great addition! The views overlooking lock long are amazing ,with a massive array of wildlife on display including seals , porpoises, and the very rare nuthatch. The local area has pub within very easy walking distance, and for those that fancy a great challenge, Carrick castle is a 14 mile round trip . The local bus service is great , running once a hour to Dunoon , this takes around 45mins

Fantastic bungalow on the waters edge.Amazing views.Very clean and well equipped. We have been to Argyll and Bute 3 times and love this location. Great cafe not far away and access vi's ferries to many destinations. One small thing I would add would be a dishwasher. There is room for a slim line one by the sink.Most places come with dishwasher as standard and most people have one at home.Would definitely like to revisit.We also had amazing weather.Hot and sunny.
