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!!

Super views from the main bedroom and living area, which leads on to decking and seating - ideal for watching the constant activity on the bird feeder. Freesat TV has wide range of channels. Broadband speed was only about 1Mb - but BT is due to install fibre shortly, and were in process of doing so on the other side of Loch Awe. Lengthy walks available from the front door (it's possible to do a long walk over the hills on forest tracks to the A83 and Inverary) and no end of things to see and do in the locality. Nearest shops and services are 40 minutes away in Lochgilphead, mostly on single track road. Drover's Way really is the ideal place to get away from it all, in comfort. Owners live next door, and it was great to be shown around on arrival - Thank you for a most enjoyable holiday.
