Special place

Even though it has quite a large boatshed next to it, this cottage has a very special atmosphere (You can barely see the shed once you're inside). The house looks straight over the most tranquil bay and we saw noone near the house either on foot or in a car while we were there. You feel as it fhe whole place is just yours! The house is warm, clean, very prettily presented and has everything you need.

Peace at last.

Been a bit of a hectic time at home so needed a relaxing stay. This is just what we got. Lovely cottage and location is what it was all about. To swim in the Loch every morning was a treat. Huugo is a water furry so wonderful time was had by all. Pity we could not stay longer. Thank you for letting us to stay. Ange, Colin and Huugo.

So peaceful

Property was amazing, some really lovely touches and a great location. Jill & Chris were so kind and helpful allowing us access to all areas. Fantastic for wildlife (red squirrels, pine martens, badgers, herons, gannets and loads of small garden birds to name just a few). Just the place to wind down and relax.

Ideal escape to the Kyles of Bute

We had a two-night stay as part of a family tour of the area. The cottage was peaceful, clean and comfortable with absolutely stunning views out over the Kyles. It was exceptionally well-stocked with good quality toiletries and kitchen provisions. We also appreciated the bird / squirrel feeder supplies (which the red squirrels also enjoyed). Jill and Chris made us feel very welcome but also respected our privacy. This was a trip down memory lane for me and an introduction to the area for my grown-up daughters, and our stay here was a definite highlight of a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.
