Very remote but very lovely, quiet and picturesque the cottage is reached via a very long road alongside the loch so make sure you have everything you need before you arrive as a trip to the supplies is 11 miles, the cottage is cosy and very well stocked, thankyou for the fresh water and Scottish goodies

“The expectations was just as we were told,,the area was magnificent beautiful scenery,everything lay on for us,it could,nt have been better but for the funny odour in the bathroom which did,nt seem to go away,the couple were nice and friendly,the only major problem was the condition of the roads which you had to travel on day after day deep pot holes .”
Mr Van Buijtene April 2018

“The given description of theCottage was spot-on.”

The pictures looked very good, but the actual cottage met the expectations easily. The emails that were sent some times before the final payment and some time before the holiday itself with all the details that you might need were very helpful. I will certainly check here first for our next holiday.

“Although I have replied no to re-booking this is not a reflection of our holiday, just that we like to go to different locations.”

We would certainly consider this cottage in future.

“There is no Wifi in the cottage and no mobile phone signal.”

This could be a problem for many people but ideal if you are like me and enjoy getting away from it all.

“Lovely, quiet, cosy cottage”

Very nice, friendly owners. Very quiet location with nice views down the valley to the loch. Quite a drive to shops, so make sure you have all you need when returning to the cottage. Great scenery & visitor attractions. Easy local walking & cycling! Really enjoyed our stay.

“Home from Home”

Having just spent two weeks in this lovely cottage we have to say we were very sad to leave. It was clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped. The views from all the windows were lovely and the only sound we heard were the birds and the nearby waterfall. On a clear night, because there is no light pollution, the stars were amazing!! and on a rainy evening there was nothing more cozy than sitting by a log fire with a glass of whisky!! If there had to be a downside it was perhaps the location as the road leading to the property is a single track which is very potholed in parts and the nearest large shop was a Co-op at Lochgilphead about 11 miles away but it was open until 11.00 pm every night. but this was a small price to pay for the views and quiet. The hotel at Kilmartin approximately 8 miles a way had a nice bar and restaurant I'm sure that if you needed anything in an emergency the owners Mr & Mrs Glendinning would help, they were lovely couple and their 'welcome treats' were a nice touch. As the property has it's own water supply it meant that at times it could be slightly discoloured so we stocked up with bottled water to drink, cook and clean our teeth in but this is stated on the website so we were prepared. All in all we had a wonderful time and would deffinately stay here again.

About the location

KILMARTIN

Crinan 7 miles; Lochgilphead 8 miles; Tarbert 21 miles; Oban 30 miles.

The village of Kilmartin sits at the heart of Kilmartin Glen, one of the most important prehistoric sites on the Scottish mainland. In the area there are rock carvings, standing stones, burial cairns and the remains of the Iron-Age fort at Dunadd, the home of the first kings of Scotland. Kilmartin is home to a church, pub, a castle and the Kilmartin House Museum with visitor centre next door, housing a café and a shop selling local crafts. The town of Lochgilphead is eight miles away, offering a good selection of cafes and small shops selling a range of goods, foods and crafts, while the village of Inveraray, home to the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, is within driving distance. Close by is Crinan Canal, which is surrounded by the stunning scenery of Argyll and Bute. From end to end the canal is nine miles long, and its sheltered waters make it an ideal place for beginners and the more experienced paddlers to explore. There are beautiful walks to be enjoyed throughout the area from Kilmichael Forest, to those at Port Ann and Dunardry and up over the hill from the stoney beach at Crinan Ferry, from where you can look out over Jura and north towards Mull. A trip to the Scottish Beaver Trail in Knapdale Forest also provides a fun family day out, plus the fishing village of Tarbert gives you superb access to all the ferry points across Kintyre that travel to Gigha, Arran, Islay and Portavadie.
