Some positives some negatives.Nice place comfy bed nice log burner.Dunoon was okay . we had 2 dogs they enjoyed going in the water most days . The couch in the living room was very uncomfortable which made sitting in the evening less enjoyable.You cant park your car in the street next to the house which is not great.

My daughter and myself stayed here for Cowal games week. The cottage was very clean and spacious and was just exactly what we needed. The cottage location is fantastic too with close proximity to everything we needed. Hosts were very quick to call back a few times I needed to contact them. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely stay again. The outside area is lovely to sit out with a very relaxed feeling. Victoria **
