Guests say

Guests consistently mention the comfort, cleanliness, and homely feel, with the property providing everything needed for a relaxing stay. The owners are described as friendly and helpful. While some guests note the busy road and suggest minor updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, and beds, the positives far outweigh these points, making Glenview a highly recommended base for families, walkers, and dog owners alike.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as clean, spotless, and well maintained. Only one review mentioned an isolated issue with pet waste left by previous guests, but this did not reflect the general standard.
The location is frequently praised for its stunning views, proximity to local attractions like Glencoe, Oban, and Castle Stalker, and suitability as a base for exploring the area. The only minor drawback mentioned is the busy road, but this did not detract from guests' enjoyment.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and spacious, with a homely atmosphere. Some mention very comfortable beds, though a few note that certain mattresses could be improved. The secure garden and open fire add to the comfort.
The property is well equipped with everything needed for a stay, including two bathrooms, a games/DVD cupboard, and a large garden. Some guests suggest the kitchen, bathrooms, and TV could benefit from modernisation, but overall facilities are highly rated.
The owners are repeatedly described as kind, helpful, and responsive, providing useful information before arrival. While guests appreciated the local information and personal touches, please note that gifts or extras are not guaranteed.

The bungalow is set in a lovely open aspect but within an enclosed garden, the road is very busy, especially between the hours of 5 - 10 am. The bungalow itself has a lovey feel to it, the layout is perfect, it’s clean, warm and comfortable, there are 3 things that could do with addressing, the kitchen and bathrooms could do with modernising & the tv needs updating. Out the back is a lovely view and having sheep in the field next door was lovely to see. There was one negative and that was due to previous occupants they hadn’t picked up after their pet which I trod and took the remains into the utility room which was upsetting for us as we’d had to say goodbye to our own pet 2 weeks prior, other than that it was lovely. Thanks

The cottage is absolutely beautiful, very spacious and stocked with everything you possibly need. It were very clean and well maintained. The wrap around garden were amazing with gates to keep it secure. The dog definitely loved it. We had a lot of enjoyment of using the cosy log fire most nights. The owners seem lovely, had a nice chat before our holiday and were there if we needed anything. The area were lovely too. Would definitely recommend Port Appin and the Pier restaurant over the water. Only about a 10 minute drive from the cottage. We recommend this cottage to anyone that wants a quiet getaway. Thank you
