This was my second visit and it did not disappoint. The cottage has great character as well as great views.It's cosy as well as spacious, preventing two adults and 2 dogs from falling over each other. Summer or winter, rain or shine, this is a home from home.

Cosy cottage with amazing views
We loved our stay here. Its close to many lovely walks and there are fantastic views from the cottage windows right across the loch. Enjoyed the many different visiting sea birds and took many photos. We had our dog with us, and although the cottage doesnt have and enclosed outdoor space it wasnt a problem. We could take her along the pathway at the side of the cottge and we could let her off the lead onto the small beach. Kilmun is very picturesque, we would most certainly return. moscrreturn.return.

Cottage is very quirky and has everything you could possibly need, it's on the bus route to town if you don't drive and the owners have a drawer full of leaflets of what's in and around for people to do. Views in and around the area are superb also.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful property
Very comfortable and enjoyable stay in a great area of Argyle. Michael was a great host, and having made sure we were comfortably settled left us to enjoy the peace and tranquility that this part of the world offers. Saw the otter at the end of the pier on our first day and loved watching the Oyster Catchers at work on the beach. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Stay
Quaint little cosy cottage, equipped with everything you need. Wifi good, heating good, wood burning stove just lovely in the evening. Communication with owner perfect - especially when we managed to accidentally lock ourselves out, eek! - thanks for your kindness Mike. Surrounding areas fantastic for dog walks - Pucks Glen, Benmore, Ardentinny all highlights for us. Kilmun arboretum just a few steps along the road also well worth a visit. Would highly recommend, and will return!

Fabulous!!!
We loved this wee house on the pier ! The wood stove, the comfy bed, and deceptively roomy layout ! The views, location and all round feeling of home, unbeatable! Best week we have spent away in years, our dog loved it too, though keeping her out of the sea every morning and night was a struggle 😂parking was always available and all you need is your clothes, food and toiletries, everything else supplied ! Washing machine was nice and quiet and instructions for all appliances was appreciated. I’m missing the views and the peace and quiet ! We will be back! Fabulous house, fabulous location, fabulous views ! Just fabulous !!!! Thank you for having us x
