Stronvaar is quite simply one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in. It has a convenient logical layout, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable sofas and beds, and welcome added touches like tea/coffee/milk, biscuits and wine. There is a pleasant comfortable summerhouse where you can relax in the evening. It is only a few minutes walk to the town centre, and the promenade on the shore of Loch Ryan. Lidl is only a minutes walk away, Tesco and Morrisons are in the town centre too. A real gem and highly recommended.
