Great place to stay
Exactly as described and the pictures do not do it justice. The property is lovely and the location is stunning. We really loved the area and the view from the decking is beautiful. Great place if you want peace and quiet to relax and unwind for a while.

Family Holiday
Had a brilliant time staying in this lovely property. Everything was there that was needed for our stay along with a lovely welcome basket when we arrived. It is very peaceful and still missing the great views of the Loch and countryside whilst sitting on the deck. We also did the trail biking during our stay which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.

Picturesque & tranquil
Set amid stunning scenery, the property is in a great location to explore the area. We ventured into Dunoon itself, aswell as exploring Argyll’s secret coast (down to a stunning beach at Ostel Bay) & up to Lochgoilhead. The only negative for us is that we had to drive whenever we wanted to go out. If you don’t mind that though I would certainly recommend.
We had a go at quad biking on-site at Quadmania, which was an amazing experience, great views and great fun for all the family!
The welcome basket was a lovely touch and much appreciated too - the eggs were so tasty!

Cosy Cottage in a nice location
We had a very nice week in this cosy cottage. Although the farm is doing clay shooting and quad tours it is usually very quiet.
When we arrived there was a lovely welcome basket with fruits, vegetables and some sweets.
What we did not like was the width of the double beds (130cm) but this might be British standard? The fridge could be exchanged as well, as there were no more inserts in the door to place bottles there.
