Lovely location overlooking the water in an elevated position. Property was roomy & ideal for us with 2 dogs. Modern well equipped kitchen& comfortable lounge. Mattress in main bedroom was however not the best. Overall we enjoyed our stay & this picturesque corner of Scotland

Arthur's seat. Cottage with amazing views.

Had a lovely week at Arthur's seat. Wonderful views if you have the weather with you. That will not put us off booking again. Cottage is small for four adults, but had everything we needed. Has a super shower. Owner was very responsive and was with us within 5 minutes when I couldn't get the heating to come on. Outside area has seeting area and family picnic table to eat outdoors. Brilliant base to explore Argyll. Definately recommend, and we look forward to returning.

Me and my dog Angel stayed here the views you were fantastic the location is quiet and relaxing

This was my first time renting through vrbo the whole process simple from the property was exactly as described. If you're looking to visit places on the west coast this is an excellent place to do it although Dunoon appeared to be a very quiet place which is a shame because it is a really nice location. I will certainly recommend this property to other people and I would book again in the future.
