The cottage was lovely and well equipped, the location was good. We were able to walk to Dunoon easily. We also managed a couple of decent forest walks without having to use the car.

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 🐾
