The property is beautifully furnished and is well equipped. It is situated in a beautiful part of Scotland and also served as a good base from which to visit other places of interest. We enjoyed watching various vessels moving through the loch, including a submarine and a cruise liner! As the entrance to the property is behind other properties, the directions given need to be a bit clearer. Visitors also need to be prepared to park a few hundred yards on the loch side, rather than close to the property, as we found there were no empty spaces for us. It wasn't a problem for us but the description of off-road parking, at the point of booking, is a bit misleading.

Lovely loch side views from front of building. Nice pub 35 mins walk. On the down side some of the surrounding properties looked semi derelict with a dumped car outside. Also beware were you park as I was rudely told via a video door bell that there is no parking at the property.

But the location is a bit disappointing. First the drive in to Cove past miles of MOD land then the flat tucked in at the back by the community wheelie bins and a car on bricks. We could appreciate the owners have tried to make it comfortable but the kitchen is tiny as is the dining table. Not being able to open the bedroom blind as it looked out onto the community bins area was a bit miserable. We wouldnt stay again and sadly we would not recommend it.
