  We had a lovely relaxing holiday.

  Directions were clear and found it no problem even though tucked away up in the countryside. Peaceful and quiet setting with spectacular views on the descent to main road. At night there was no light pollution an ideal area for star gazing. We saw plenty of deer right up close to the property. Cottage was unique, cosy, clean and equipped with everything we needed with lots of additional special touches. The welcome basket and mini desserts in the fridge were a nice surprise, I am a huge cheesecake fan so these went down a treat, was so hard to decide what to try first and what to leave until last, thank you, they were all delicious. The kitchen area was very well equipped but just a tad dull when working at the cooker. Bedrooms were very comfortable, spacious with ample storage space. We would highly recommend a stay at this cottage and would love to return at a different time of year just to experience more of the outdoors, to spend more time at the beautiful beaches nearby and to see the spectacular views in the area with clearer, brighter skies. Hazel's Cottage is the ideal location to explore the Kintyre region.

  Great house in a fantastic location. Very warm and comfortable and loved all the walks and wildlife. Unfortunately, the hottub was not working and whilst we were told about this a few days before arriving, from reading the visitor book, it's obvious the hottub hasn't worked much since the start of the year. We think it's disingenuous to keep marketing the hottub if its mostly not working! We also had no way to light the wood burner, as the gas lighter was empty and no matches provided. There were emergency matches but these were old and damp so of no use to us, or in an emergency. We tried the caretakers on all 3 of the numbers provided but received no callback despite leaving a voicemail. Given the isolated nature of the property perhaps a call from the caretaker when each guest has settled in would be helpful? The only form of contact from the house is a pay phone, which seems mean and impractical given many people don't carry cash these days. We very much enjoyed our stay but a few items above need attention. We had no difficulties but if we had, there is no real provision for emergencies.

  We had a wonderful week at this beautiful cottage on the banks of the Loch.

  The cottage was well equipped and cosy and lived up to its name as we saw otters and seals in the loch. We ate at and visited the Hollytree hotel which was a ten minute walk away along the cycle path and we spent a pleasant few evenings looking for sea glass on the little beach across from the cottage. There is a small tidal rock outcrop a few mins to the right of the cottage along the path where seals and otters can also be seen. Despite the road in front this was a peaceful cottage with fabulous views over the ever changing view as the weather and tide rolled in. This was a great base for exploring the local area and we visited Fort William for the Jacobite train, Oban for a Mull & Iona tour and we also visited Highland fold for ice cream and highland cows which is well worth a visit. Only very minor comment on cottage would be the recycling signage was a bit confusing with lots of it and could do with simplifying. We figured it out in the end and had a fab time and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Thank you!

  A fantastic stay at Sea Otter Cottage.

  Had a courtesy call from Cherry a few days before and a text reminder of the key code. First impressions of the cottage were wonderful. Clean and cosy, logs stocked by the fire and a gorgeous welcome basket with shortbread, wine and jams. The location of the cottage is lovely although the road out front is noisy. 15 minutes to Glencoe with brilliant access to the Highlands on the A82. Everything felt clean and new in the cottage. We really enjoyed doing a jigsaw and reading the Rough guide to Scotland book. Shower was clean but towels were still very fluffy (obviously new) so left fluff on your after bathing (a tiny thing). The beds were large and comfortable and we found the storage in the kitchen / bedrooms very handy. We found the walking / cycle path in front of the cottage handy for walking our dogs. Overall a really lovely stay in a lovely location. We would certainly return to the Highlands and would look to book Sea Otter Cottage again. 10/10

  Sea Otter Cottage has magnificient views.

  In the cupboard next to the kitchen the airer was full of towels so it meant we had to take the towels off and fold them so that we could use the airer. We left the folded towels on top of the washing machine. There really wasn't anwyhere that you could air clothing as there was no tumble dryer. In view of the weather in Scotland an airer would be extremely handy. In total we were away from home for a month so we needed to wash, dry clothing and air. The property was reasdonably well appointed comfortable beds ok linen, towels had seen better days. The reception on the television was not good unless you used Raku. We contacted the owner who was helpful via text. Sea View is not a place to stay if you want to use anything other than RAku.
