    This was an excellent base for our family holiday and is highly recommended.David has thought of everything to make the house extremely homely and has equipped the property with everything (and more) you could need. The kayaks and pizza oven were our particular favourites!We were very fortunate with the weather and were able to climb the Cobbler, explore Loch Lomond and kayak out on Loch Long.Thank you for a great week.

    Great Stay

    This has to be one of the best deals in Scotland. The photos do not do the view justice, it is centrally located for short day trips to highlands/loch lomond/glasgow, and David is a fantastic host. Everything was clean, lots of snacks and information about the property/location were provided upon entry, and we were able to fit 5 adults very comfortably for a whole week!

    We had a great time staying here and can wholeheartedly recommend it! The pictures do not do this place justice, the views are amazing and the house is cozy and has a warm and loving feeling. We stayed here for six days and our only regret is not staying longer. David is also a great host who answered our questions immediately and we felt well taken care of both before and during our stay. We will definitely want to come back at some point!

    Perfect location overlooking Loch Long and just a couple of miles from Loch Lomond too. Homely, very clean and very well equipped, though too wet and windy unfortunately use the kayaks, outdoor pizza oven and bbq- !! We would certainly love to return. Plenty of walks nearby and just a few steps to the Village Inn for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners( good), other places to eat and village shop all within walking distance.

We enjoyed the pubs locally and afar and food was always good as was the service. We enjoyed the BBQ hut and amenities in the property. The welcome basket was greatly appreciated. We would certainly recommend this property

    Well equipped cottage in a beautiful location

    We had a greay week at The Anchorage. The property had lovely views over Loch Long and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner, David, was a pleasure to deal with before and during our stay. Although Arrochar is a small village, it does have a couple of eateries. The Village Inn was OK - the food a little overpriced and portion sizes rather small. However, Cu Mara was excellent and is only a 15 minute walk from the cottage. This is lovely part of Scotland and we would certainly stay at the Anchorage again if we were to return to this part of the world.

    Sweet spot

    Older cottage but very well-done reno (NOT diy-type if you know what I mean). Bedrooms are small but sufficient. Not a spec of dirt and trust me our little one would have found it if there was one! Handy to hiking, birds of prey center, really cool botanic garden, boat tour on Loch Lomond, and a really neat farm tour at Lennox of Lomond. Thank you David! Fantastic!

    What a view

    This property seemed to offer so much and it really delivered! The property is fresh, airy, very comfortable and spacious. It has everything you could hope for, whether for a romantic getaway or a young family. Two of the rooms are ensuite and there is a family bathroom on the ground floor. The back garden is spacious but beware the midgies!!! It's a great place to use as a base for exploring the area. The contact with the vendor was friendly and efficient. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    Fantastic family holiday

    What an absolute gem! So glad we found and booked this property in Arrochar. The house is in a stunning location on the edge of the village with breathtaking views over Loch Long. There was everything that any family would need for a comfortable, enjoyable stay without any worries. Equipped and furnished to high standard. From well stocked games cabinet, games room, pizza oven, BBQ hut and watersport equipment there is something for you to use in the sunshine or rain. We spent an absolutely amazing wee there. David was an exceptional host who communicated well with us before, during and after our stay. He has thought of everything to cater for his guests.

    I could write a long comment on the house, but can also keep it short and sweet: we had a super holiday and the house was absolutely fantastic! It had everything and even more and it was prestine! Everything one could wish for! I could have easily stayed much longer as there was still so much to do, in and around the house! If I ever come back to Scotland (which I hope!), I will definitely come back to this house. Contact with the owner was clear, very friendly and helpful! So thanks again, David, for providing your house!!

    Fantastic property in a beautiful surrounding

    Our family of four had an amazing stay at the property. The cottage is extremely well equipped- both inside and out and spotlessly clean. There were so many thoughtful touches to make our stay as comfortable as possible including fully equipped kitchen, roomy living spaces, comfortable beds and three bathrooms. The host had also provided lots of board games and TV streaming services to keep our family entertained. The outside space was really amazing- several barbeque areas, trampoline and a games room and kayaks that we took onto the Lock several times- access is directly outside the cottage. And the village itself has a pub restaurant literally yards away and a cafe for lunch. There are so many beautiful walks right on the doorstep and the view from the property of the Loch and mountains was spectacular. Communication with David the host was a pleasure. Would love to visit again.

    Delightful cottage with an amazing view.

    I think luck was on our side when we booked this holiday, just weeks before the Covid lockdown began. We were looking for a property near to Fort William, for a forthcoming trip on the ‘Jacobite’ steam train, when we came across the Anchorage. The cottage was immediately appealing, and when we showed it to our two adult daughters and their partners, they were keen to come and stay with us for a few nights, so we booked. This, despite the fact that the dates available did not correspond with our train trip! We were very much looking forward to this holiday especially as lockdown took hold and, when the girl’s holidays abroad were cancelled they decided to stay for the week. We were not disappointed. I can honestly say that it lived up to all our expectations and we had a really enjoyable time. David has obviously put a lot of thought into what is needed for a wonderful holiday. The cottage was scrupulously clean, extremely well equipped - it has all the amenities you could wish for, and the location is excellent. The views from the Inside dining area and from the garden are amazing. Communication with David both before and during the holiday was excellent and the welcome pack a lovely touch. We would highly recommend this holiday cottage on Loch Long.

    Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Das Haus ist gemütlich, warm und mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich wünschen kann. Die Lage am See ist wunderschön und ruhig (die Straße ist kaum befahren). Arrochar ist ein netter Ort mit Bars, Restaurant, Tankstelle und Minimarket und ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen und Ausflüge. Wir haben einen der Sonnentage zum Kajakfahren und Tischtennis spielen genutzt. Für eine große Gruppe mit mehr als vier Leuten ist aber zu beachten, dass die Doppelbetten im Haus recht schmal sind und zwei der Bäder klein sind.

    Very well equipped house in a beautiful setting and location, which is close to an excellent pub! Having access to the kayaks was great, we enjoyed getting out on the loch! There was plenty of space for 5 adults both inside and out. The only negative is that we wish we could have brought our dogs, as they would have loved it! The welcome package was a nice little touch too! Would highly recommend staying here; if we are ever in the area again would happily stay again and again!

    Comfortable and well equipped house in a beautiful location

    Comfortable and well equipped house in a beautiful location. Everything was provided as listed including a thoughtful welcome pack and some toiletries. Good outdoor space, especially for families (if only you could rely on the Scottish weather). Loved having use of the kayaks (be aware they are pretty heavy to manoeuvre). Fantastic location, especially for those who love the outdoors. Beautiful views of Loch Long and the Arrochar Alps. Short staggering distance to the Village Inn where you can get a decent bar meal and drinks. Fab walks on the doorstep and close to Loch Lommond for other activities too. The house was clean and comfortable for our family of two adults and two teens although I feel it would have been a little cosy for 6 adults. The log burner and TVs (included in all bedrooms) were enjoyed when the weather was not so good. Thanks for being a good and responsive host.
