It was a pleasure to stay in this very quiet and peaceful setting, just what we wanted. We will miss the view over the Sound of Mull from the picture window watching the various ferries, boats and birds flying around the cottage. The sauna, steam shower and jacuzzi bath were a welcome treat after a day out exploring the Island. The property is very well set out, with lovely large rooms and the sofas and the bed were very comfortable. We would not hesitate in recommend this cottage. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
