A spotless accommodation and a lovely welcome from the owner. The cottage is situated in an idyllic location with outstanding scenery. If you love wildlife would recommend this cottage but remember to get a supply of peanuts and sit back and see who comes to the garden. It overlooks the loch and spent a lot of time watching wildlife on the loch. The nearest shop was a few miles away and you can get the basics as there is a co op and petrol station. A trip to Oban is worth a visit. We love to walk so spent a lot of time discovering new places with outstanding scenery.

Had a lovely time in this lovely location. We saw badgers and a pine martin every night, and deer. We have put ‘average’ for amenities, but we knew there were no big shops nearby when we booked, so weren’t disappointed in any way. Caroline was very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely cottage and superb location. Abundant wildlife and marvellous scenery. The lack of a decent food shop locally is a bit of a problem (nearest supermarket is Lochgilphead and not very well stocked). Nearby Castle Sween should be an idyllic location but is spoilt by being surrounded by a caravan park - unbelievably unsympathetic development. But these are minor issues. Overall a superb holiday.
