This was our 4th visit to Point Park. Probably our last visit with our elderly dog but you never know. As always we had a fantastic time, seeing the otters, seals, cormorants, swans and various other beautiful wildlife. Point Park is really comfortable and cosy to return to after very rainy weather this time. Didn’t matter to us! Great watching the changing weather across the Loch. The cottage has everything needed for a wonderfully relaxing holiday.

We have just come back from an incredible week at Point Park! The directions to get there were clear and easy to follow. The house is even better than we expected, even better than the photos shown!The kitchen was fully equipped, in fact we had everything we could possible want!Our dogs loved the easy access to the loch and the enclosed front wooded garden. Having breakfast sat outside looking over the Loch was such a joy! Our weather was incredible considering it was the first week of September! Would I recommend this cottage? 100% and I am already thinking about booking again!
