Really lovely stay

We had a 10 day stay in the cottage and found it a lovely, peaceful place to hang out, especially in bad weather etc with the log burner and wonderful ever changing view of the tidal river and mountains further afield. The house has been uodated with bare floorboards in many oarts. The kitchen and bathroom are nice sizes and modern. The only 2 niggles were that the garden isnt securely enclosed for dogs although there is a full boundary, short metal fence, our dog is more than capable of springing over it! Plus it has bits underneath that have holes. The other was that we found the beds didnt have the best supporting mattresses for us. Otherwise a very relaxed stay, thank you!

tHE COTTAGE WAS SUPERBLY POSITIONED The cottage was in a superb position, very clean and welcoming. The only adverse comments i would make is that there were carpet nails protruding from the carpets on the door entrances and were quite painful when stood on,this was solved by placing rugs over the area. Apart from that everything was fine.

Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023

Lovely setting

Stayed here with two small dogs for a week. Lovely location and quiet. Cottage fully equipped. Unfortunately garden not secure for small dogs to roam freely as can get under the fence in places, so we had to tether ours.

Relaxing, peaceful break.

We had a lovely week at Nursery Cottage. The cottage is in an ideal location, lovely quiet spot yet very close to places to visit, and supermarkets just down the road in Dunoon for anything you might need. The weather was kind to us, so the view from the sitting room and garden was really special. Places for eating out just down the road too. Our dog had super time running around the enclosed garden, which was a big plus for us as we don't allow her off lead when we're out and about away from home.

Great location and host

Nursery Cottage is in a great location to explore Argyll and beyond, many walk around the local area some in forests some with stunning views. The host Jo is very welcoming and ensures your stay is the best it can be. Highly recommended
