Cozy cottage, log burner makes it. Brilliant it is dog friendly at no extra cost, good value for money. Rhianne was very helpful when I messaged for information. Lovely quiet area making for a good nights sleep and a comfy bed. A couple of pictures on the wall would immediately make it feel a bit more homely but that’s just a little extra touch. It was Spotlessly clean, shower really good pressure. Milk, eggs and biscuits were a very welcome extra which we will remember. Thanks you Rhianne ☺️Annie, Joe and Millie 🐾

We had a great stay here thanks to the location just outside Dunoon, definitely a good place to stay for exploring the area. The bed was really comfy too! We were surprised to find that only the bedroom had blinds or curtains, nowhere else in the cottage did so it didnt feel very private, which was unsettling. The place itself is actually quite spacious but the bathroom is too small, the shower is huge but the rest felt cramped and there was nowhere to hang towels other than a very small heated towel rail (which wasnt on) so we had damp towels for the 5 nights we stayed. We did enjoy our stay, its just a couple of things that wouldve made it 5/5 :)

Cottage is very new and clean. Nice touches like milk and Tunnicks awaiting us. Kitted out with most items youd need. Bed and sofa werent that comfortable. Outside area is a bit soulles and could do with some love. Kirn itself is a good base to explore area but nothing much going on there itself. Was a nice place in general.
