Nice pleasant stay in a well equipped cottage, clean and comfortable, easy access to main roads (if you avoid the sheep run !) for exploring the area. Even the wet weather didn't put us off going out to places, especially liked Inverary, castle and nail worth a visit also Kilmartin museum. Local pub does good food and only a couple of miles away. Overall a really good place to stay

The actual cottage was clean and cosy.Should have said on booking page that they are in an internet black spot, even with 4g it is very patchy.Need to travel into Lochgilphead to get basics. Shower has nowhere to hold on, tried holding the pole and came of in my hand. Simple handgrips would sort it.
