Clean and comfy. Very spacious and extremely well equipped.. Watching the young birds being fed whilst we were having breakfast was a delight. The host, Karen, was welcoming without being intrusive. There are few 'local' amenities but that is the sort of location we love, tucked away but within a short distance of a town (Inveraray or Lochgilphead)
