Port-an-Eillean is a quaint detached property set on a croft looking out to Loch Riddon on the Cowal Peninsula. The cottage is over 100 years old, with thick stone walls and originally had a thatched roof. All rooms have a view down to the sea loch and across to the hills beyond. The cottage is pleasantly furnished with two bedrooms upstairs and lounge, kitchen/diner and shower room downstairs. The area is great for cycling and a canoe/kayak can be easily launched from the shore. Fishing is available from the rocky shoreline. There is an enclosed grassy garden at the front door and from the back door you are lead out onto decking which is also enclosed, both provide areas for children to play. The croft is set within approximately 14 acres of rugged ground, with some machinery stored on it, unfenced to the shoreline and a river runs passed the cottage, so children would need to be supervised at all times. The croft is no longer worked but the owners may on occasions visit their static caravan.

We love everything about this house! Beautifully kept, has everything you need, beautiful fireplace for cosy evenings and the garden and loch front are some if the most precious we have ever had the pleasure of spending time in. 10/10 hosts who are warm and kind if you need anything. If you want a lovely get away with or without dogs you cannot go wrong with this gorgeous house. We cannot wait to plan our next visit, thank you so much for having us.
