Guests say
Belloch Cottage is praised for its peaceful location, stunning views, and sunsets, making it a cosy base for exploring the area. Guests appreciate the clean environment, welcoming touches, and the cottage's suitability for pets, though some noted the need for maintenance and updates.
Most guests found the cottage clean, with fresh flowers and a welcoming atmosphere. However, a few reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as dirty kitchen utensils and carpets, which lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to ferries, islands, and scenic views. The proximity to a main road was noted, but it did not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
Guests found the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, but some reported an uncomfortable mattress and issues with the shower door, which suggests room for improvement in comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped with necessary appliances and a log burner. However, maintenance issues like holes in the flooring, a problematic toilet, and a sticky shower door affect the score.
Guests mentioned thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket of logs and home-baked treats. While these are appreciated, it is noted that such gestures are a bonus and not guaranteed.

Belloch Cottage for us was lovely, comfortable and cosy. Being familiar with the area, we really enjoyed this location, and despite it being on the main road (A83), we never noticed the traffic at all.Having a dog we did have to watch as the garden is not enclosed but in truth there was plenty of walking nearby or slightly further afield by car.We would without doubt want to stay here again.There was a welcome of fresh flowers and delicious home baked banana bread.We did visit the nearby village shops in both Glenbarr and Muasdale with Campbeltown being 10 miles away.Overall this cottage suited us perfectly
