A wonderful stay in a beautiful well appointed cottage. A chance to enjoy this beautiful part of the world. A beautiful crossing to Gigha and stunning silver sand beach walks were highlights.Strongly recommended!

Gorgeous cottage that was ideal for both exploring locally and catching the ferry to Gigha. Well equipped throughout with great attention to detail ie hand towels and soap at every wash hand basin. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom modern with the extra toilet always a bonus. Spotlessly clean.

We had an amazing week at Rhunahaorine Cottage. The photos of the cottage definitely do not do justice to the inside or outside. We had 2 dogs and the garden was huge and so secure for them. The cottage is a 2 minute drive away from point sands beach where there is a free visitor car park. We went every day with the dogs and it was so quiet despite it being right next to a holiday park and during school holidays. The cottage was really comfortable and spotless! Very well equipped too. We would recommend dinner at the Argyll Hotel in Bellochantuy, it's right by the beach and the food was good. We went over to Gigha on the ferry, we had to reschedule our ticket as our first attempt to sail had a 3 hour wait due to volume of traffic trying to cross. So would recommend going early. The views over to the Paps of Jura from the garden were lovely at night with the sun setting behind. We really have no criticism of our stay at all. The only thing that might help would be if the bushes could be cut back for exiting the driveway. It's so difficult to see particularly looking to the right. Maybe even a mirror.
