THE LOCAL SHOP IS NOT AS STOCKED AS YOU MIGHT THINK SO A DRIVE FOR FOOD IS NEEDED.THAT IS THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT REALLY.A MIRROR TO HELP GETTING OUT THE DRIVE WOULD BE GREAT TOO. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN TO A LOT OF COTTAGES UP AND DOWN THE UK BUT THE WEEK WE SPENT HERE WAS THE BEST WEEK WE HAVE HAD AT A COTTAGE,AT THE VERY LEAST JOINT BEST. CANNOT RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH. THE GARDEN IS TOTALY SECURE. WE HAVE CHIHUAHUAS AND THEY WERE STILL SAFE AND SECURE.STUNNING.THE VIEWS FROM THE GARDEN ARE UTTERLY AMAZING. SUPER COMFY BEDS,THE KITCHEN HAS EVERY UTENSIL YOU COULD NEED. WIFI ISN’T THE BEST BUT THAT’S TO BE EXPECTED.STILL, WE HAVE ALEADY REBOOKED FOR NEXT YEAR. I THINK IT COULD WELL BECOME A REGULAR HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR US……

We had a wonderful stay at Rhunahaorine Cottage and it is definitely on our list to return to.There is oodles of enclosed outdoor space (drive gate closes for additional security) which our dog enjoyed so much and a beautiful pond and summerhouse for us to chill at. The view of all the lambs in the field was gorgeous.As for the cottage itself, we found Rhunahaorine to be instantly welcoming and cosy with lots of space. A beautifully appointed bathroom and kitchen lead on to the two bedrooms and a big lounge with log burner which was used when the weather got a bit stormy. The cottage is excellent as a base for all sorts of outdoor adventures but also to relax and chill in. A wonderful retreat in a lovely setting.Caroline was great, getting in touch with instructions the week before we arrived and then checking in several times by email during our stay. We left having explored lots of Kintyre but also feeling we had relaxed and recharged.
