The stars at night were breathtaking too. No light polution and the stars againstcthe mountain was picture perfect. The cottage was clean, warm, and just big enough for 2 adults and our labrador. The grounds were beautiful and with a 4 acre gated and fenced off paddock to let the dog off for a run (with stunning sea views). It was perfect. Weks of heavy rain has tsken its toll on the access track which follows the hill up yo the cottage. If you take it steady and slow then it is easily accessed. Its typical road surface and farm tracks that come with the pursuit of isolation. Overall Darrach was a fantastic base for us to re discover the Arrgyl and Bute region. John (the owner) was a gentleman and nothing was too much trouble. Couple that with the fact i had common interests as him. Aviation and carpentry. He even uses tge padock as a landing ground for gis model aircraft which he builds himself. It made the stay more than just a rental. Very friendly, clean, warm and stunning place and we will return.
