​Completely loved it here. The cottage was very homely and a great position. Went to Taynish reserve and did some great walks. Scenery beautiful. The drive out to Keill is also a must - so serene. This area is a photographers paradise - so much of interest! The 'historicals' were great too. Fascinating history. People have been very friendly too. Local real ales also superb and also boat trip.

​Wonderful week. Cottage was just right for us. Great forest walks, gardens, castles and antiquities all within easy reach.  Local shops and eating places also good. Most of all I've enjoyed photographing the magnificent ancient woodlands .  Burning wood on the fire has been fun too!

​A quaint well equipped cottage in a lovely location. Ideal for exploring surrounding areas.  I lot of very pleasant walks and beautiful Scottish scenery. Not quite achieved the 'Woodstone Diploma' Kilmartin and Oban both very interesting .  Stunning scenery. Nice meals at Cairnbaan Hotel. The George Hotel in Inveraray well worth a visit. Thank you for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

​Visited various areas of the Highlands in recent times -but this cottage by far the most comfortable. It is well equipped-apart from a pizza cutter. It was a cold week, the cottage was cosy and when we mastered the stove it was even toastier.  Such a lovely area and we aim to return at a more clement time of year.  We did local walks along the well signposted trails. We will be back

​Great week in cosy cottage. Great walks from the door and Dunardry and fabulous views on the Castle Dounie Trail. Perfect for pooches and kids. We also loved seeing traces of the beavers in Knapdale and wondering about Dunadd Fort. So much to do!
