Guests say
Drover's Way is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and stunning location. Guests consistently mention the abundant wildlife, including red squirrels and pine martens, and the beautiful views of Loch Awe. The remote setting offers tranquillity and a chance to connect with nature, though it requires some planning for supplies and travel.
Guests frequently commend the cottage for its cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. The property's tidiness appears to be a strong point, contributing positively to the overall experience.
The location is celebrated for its spectacular scenery and wildlife, offering peace and seclusion. However, the remote nature and distance to shops and amenities are noted, which might not suit everyone's preferences.
Reviews highlight the cottage's cosiness and comfort, with comfortable beds and a wood burner adding to the homely feel. The property seems to provide a relaxing environment for guests.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with necessary amenities and a well-stocked bird feeder enhancing the wildlife-watching experience. Some minor concerns about maintenance, such as the need for bathroom grab handles, prevent a perfect score.
While guests express gratitude for the hospitality and mention the presence of food items and bottled water, there is insufficient information to determine if these are consistent gestures of thoughtfulness or occasional gifts. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such extras will be provided.

The cottage was well equipped, cozy and warm - perfect for our winter break. It was well located with beautiful views across the Loch with loads furry friend visitors to the garden (red squirrels, roe deer) and countless types of birds (big and small)!! Although there's a little drive to everywhere, there's so much to do in the local area - I would 100% recommend staying at Drover's Way!

Everything we needed for our stay was provided. The cottage is well situated.....really peaceful but not far from the road to Lochgilphead and to some lovely drives with wonderful views! The garden attracted lots of birds and a couple of red squirrels were there every day! Only small issue was a slightly damp smell in the twin bedroom. However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Drover's Way and had a lovely relaxing few days. Thanks Elspeth and Iain!!
