Guests appreciate the well-maintained property, thoughtful touches, and the proximity to local amenities. While some suggest improvements to facilities and mention ongoing building work, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to return visits.
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with guests describing it as spotless and well-maintained. There was a single mention of finding a cigarette end under a bed, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is highly regarded for its beautiful views and proximity to local shops and restaurants. However, recent building work has impacted the views and parking space, leading to a slightly lower score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, especially highlighting the beds and the rocking armchair. Some guests suggest upgrading to larger beds and mention a need for better mattresses, which affects the score.
The facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good shower facilities. However, suggestions for additional kitchen equipment, garden maintenance, and the presence of building work indicate room for improvement.
While guests mention thoughtful extras and a warm welcome, there are not enough specific references to gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that while such gestures are appreciated, they are not guaranteed.

A truly idyllic escape, sure to delight any time of year. EPC Rating: Band F

) week in this spacious, comfortable and well equipped property. Being in the heart of the village and close to the general store and little cafe was a bonus. Tayvallich appears to be a thriving little community with a gentle rhythm to it...so heartening to see in a relatively remote part of Scotland.

The views on the website are no longer true to life, and wonât be in the future! The car parking space is vastly reduced and the front step is very high and urgently needs a handrail. We have a photo to show how the view from the front bedroom is not as shown on your website and the photos should be replaced without delay. The completion of the ongoing building work will in no way restore what has been destroyed! Such a pity because it is a beautiful cottage.
