The cottage is in a lovely location but one needed a car to get anywhere. The nearest footpath can only be accessed via about a mile walk down a busy road. There is no local pub, or shop so would need to drive. Ideal if one had bicycles with them. It is in an ideal location to reach Loch Lomond, with many facilities, Helensburgh, Inchmurren and other places along the Firth of Clyde and Loch Lomond. There is a huge pothole leading to the cottage. I couldn't find any lids to the saucepans in the cottage. The bed was a bit lumpy and the duvet cover was polyester, which snagged on my nails. Toilet and sink were a bit of a squash but the shower was ample

The cottage has a lovely location and feels very peaceful. It is well equipped and tastefully furnished and decorated. Two minor things need fixing - the towel rail does heat up and the door between the kitchen and bedroom sticks badly. We very much enjoyed our stay.
