Loved it! Arrived the night of storm boelo, lit the fire.....and chilled! Had everything we needed, and a superb week followed! We came back with an extremely happy granddaughter, which was the goal!

We had a lovely stay!There was plenty of off-road parking which was really handy.The cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the living room window was stunning!Like other reviews mentioned, the fridge was definitely not cold enough but we planned accordingly and had no issues.We found that we couldn't get the bottom oven to work but the top oven worked so that was fine.We thought the shower was very good and spacious.It is important to say that the property doesn't have central heating, but there are heaters in every room. We found that we had to use these quite a lot but when we did, the house soon warmed up.

Carnethy is a lovely and cosy cottage with a great view of the Firth of Clyde. We had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and hassle free and the shower was excellent!!! It’s clear the owners have out a lot of effort into making this house appealing and the thoughtful touches (shortbread, tea and coffee) were much appreciated.I would have liked the fridge to be a bit colder but didn’t have any way of doing that. Quite a minor niggle in the overall big picture!Would definitely recommend..
