Guests say
Dunardry View is a cosy cottage praised for its stunning location on the Crinan canal, offering beautiful views and excellent walking opportunities. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, good wifi, and dog-friendly policy, though some noted areas for improvement. The upcoming local hotel refurbishment is anticipated to enhance the experience.
The cottage is generally found to be very clean upon arrival. However, one review mentioned the need for extra cleaning behind the shower tiles, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful setting on the canal, with great walks and archaeological sites nearby. The remote aspect is appreciated by many, though some guests desired closer amenities.
The cottage is described as comfortable and cosy, with a warm atmosphere. However, comments about the bed size and the open staircase suggest that while the cottage is comfortable, there are aspects that could be enhanced for some guests.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen, washer, dryer, and reliable wifi. Maintenance issues like the Hive hub battery and the lack of an initial log supply for the wood burner indicate some oversight. The absence of a welcome pack is noted, though not a facility, it relates to overall guest experience.
While guests have suggested the addition of a welcome pack, there are no specific mentions of gifts being provided or expected. Therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on the reviews provided.

Well equipped, comfortable and warm cottage. Lovely spot with views over the canal. Washer and dryer for wetter days. Lovely views over the canal and local walks that don't require you to get in the car. Very clean house on arrival. Facilities included shower over bath and a log burner. This was perfect for my winter getaway. The front seating area would be great to sit out in the summer. There is no lawn and the area is small with stone covering. Not ideal for dogs though I was happy that I could take two dogs to the property. Easy to find but parking is a little tight if you have a larger vehicle. Town is a short drive away. There is also a swimming pool and lots of walks nearby. Terraced cottage but very little noise from neighbouring properties. Peaceful and quiet holiday.
