Loved every minute the time spent in the cottage.The cottage was very comfortable and relaxing and had nearly everything in there that we needed. The view from outside the cottage was picturesque. We were sad to leave. Would book this cottage again

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped for a relaxing self catering holiday. The outstanding features were views across Loch Eck to the hills, the private jetty across the road for kayaking and paddle boarding and the wood burning stove for cosy evenings.There is also a porch and wet room for hanging water sport gear.All together a great choice for a holiday.
