A lovely cottage in a very peaceful location but close to Lochgilphead for supplies and cafes. The cottage had everything we needed and the owner, Lorna, was very helpful. Thoroughly recommend this place.

A beautiful, spotlessly clean cottage in a lovely rural setting. Great for walking, cycling or just retreating from everyday life. Lorna couldn’t be more helpful and everything that’s needed is in the cottage. Highly recommended
