Beautiful cottage and location

The Cottage was beautiful and spotless it was equipped with everything you needed for our stay . The views from the cottage was outstanding and there was plenty wildlife to watch including Pine Martin and Squirrels that come up to the cottage if you left out nuts .The single track road to the cottage was well maintained and the views of the lock made it an enjoyable drive.Great location for a quiet get away from it all holiday . I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning in the future.

Argyll at its best

Stunning location, very peaceful, only birds, waterfall and wind in the trees to disturb you. Cottage very well equipped and spotless. Friendly greeting on arrival by the owners. Lots of wildlife to see. The weather was amazing all week, so we only lit the wood stove once. The single track road made sure you couldn't rush but added to the sense of being away from it all..

6/10 Okay

Confortable mais très isolé

Si vous aimez les endroits retirés, ce gite est fait pour vous! Il est situé sur une très petite, longue et très lente route à voie unique mais double sens (single track road with passing places), de ce fait assez éloigné en temps de trajet notamment du Loch Lomond. Il est plus confortable qu'il n'y parait de prime abord, l'équipement est parfois un peu vieillot mais tout fonctionne finalement bien. L'alimentation en eau se fait par une source, donc l'eau courante est propre à la consommation, mais jaune et présente un gout particulier et prononcé. Ceci peut nécessiter l'utilisation d'au minérale pour ceux que cela dérangerait (comme nous) Un grand merci à notre hôte pour sa gentillesse et son accueil chaleureux! (je précise tout de même que le site abritel ne fournit pas son numéro de téléphone mais le numéro de sykes cottage, qui ne répond qu'aux heures ouvrables, ce qui est bien regrettable en cas d'imprévus comme ce fut le cas pour moi)
