We were very comfortable staying at the cottage. We chose it for the location and were not disappointed. We had everything we needed in the cottage. We had evening and morning walks to the canal to see what was happening. On the last Friday we walked to Crinan and back and it was a busy day on the canal and was very enjoyable, although quite a lengthy walk. We spent time at Kilmartin, Taynvalloch (lovely meal there) and visited sites of Rock Art. Only disappointment was the local hotel had not reopened so there was nowhere within walking distance for an evening meal and a drink.
