A great place to stay!
Myself and my young family, (including our dog) had a great time at Old Powdermill Cottage and there was absolutely everything in the property that we could possibly have wanted!
It was very clean and well laid out and it proved itself as a great place to base ourselves during our west-coast Scottish adventures.
Hopefully we will be back again soon!!!
We had a lovely weekend break in Old Powdermill Cottage. The cottage is spacious and immaculate with everything you could possibly need, including a beautiful private garden and patio are.

All that you need...really!
This was a hi-tec cottage delivering all you could need bar the weather! The owners have thought of everything and the specification of all the equipment of a very high standard. They all worked too even if it took the seniors time to master them.Only challenge manouvering the entrance to the parking at the back of the cottage.The roomy dining and lounge afeas allowed all our family to gather for meals in the evening which really made the holiday.
Such a lovely welcoming cottage in beautiful natural surroundings. Well stocked kitchen, just like a home from home.Living area is the perfect chill out area with lovely furnishings and lush log burning stove.Beds are very comfy with high quality bedding.Not forgetting the the teeny weeny birds that are a joy to watch on the tree outside the livingroom windows.All in all a fabulous cottage if you want a comfortable switch off.Thank you.
