Cottage lovely and welcoming, welcome pack and materials for fire ( not needed on this visit) plenty of towels and comfortable beds rounded off by really well equipped kitchen and then a fantastic shower. Problems with anything would have been offset by the fantastic view. A good time was had by all

Lovely cottage with fabulous views from the lounge and garden. Comfortable bed and everything was spotless. Cottage needs a little TLC in places, but definitely value for money. Unfortunately the drive gate doesn't close, so couldn't let our dog off the lead in the garden without close supervision. The cottage facilities are good (apart from the fridges ....American one doesn't cool properly and the other froze food in the fridge compartment!). People have complained about the shower, but we found that it was fine (maybe they used the eco setting?). Great location for trips/walks out. Two pubs which do food within walking distance (one in Kames other in Tighnabruaich). Great local Bistro and Indian restaurant.... must book both for a table, but the Indian does takeaway. Local convenience stores and cafes. Would definitely stay here again.
