Had a great stay at Ivy Cottage. It was immaculate and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Our dog also had a great stay and loved her walks at the beach every day

We arrived sun 1st of Sept to this beautiful cottage.
We arrived sun 1st of Sept to this beautiful cottage. The weather was not that good but the place was vey picturesque. Martin the owner came to say hello and offer any assistance we would need . The cottage was immaculate with all the amenities necessary. We had our small dog with us and you could walk down to the sea in about 5mins with some amazing views.There were plenty of places to eat out if you wanted. And a Morrisons and co op if you wanted to eat in. Also a good choice of takeaway nearby. The cottage itinerary had all info you need to find what you wanted. The cottage had a very secure small garden for the dog. There are some beautiful places to visit in and around Dunoon unfortunately my wife had just had a foot operation so we could not do as much as we would have liked. but there is all ways next year. we would like to take the opportunity to thank Martin and Carol for the welcome gifts, and would be more than happy to highly recommend this cottage to anybody

Our visit to Ivy Cottage was wonderful.
Our visit to Ivy Cottage was wonderful. A cosy, well equipped cottage which was welcoming and comfortable. We settled in immediately and our little dog was very happy. We were made to feel welcome by the owners yet we had our own privacy. Good kitchen knives, a decent frying pan and a great hoover. These are good markers for us.
