Lovely cottage in a great location.Lots to see and discover in the area. Beautiful azaleas and rhododendrons at this time of the year in Crarae and Arduaine gardens. Beavers a joy to watch and thoroughly recommend a boat trip from Crinan.

Dunardy View was the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday, providing a base for us not only to explore up and down the West Coast, but also for us to walk around and explore the local area with my spaniels.The canal side location is very special as it provides plenty to see, easy canal-side walks, and lots of interesting people to meet.The cottage itself was the perfect space for the two of us and the dogs. It was very comfortable and warm.Eleanor was so helpful before our arrival as she provided us with recommendations for places to eat (we tried most of them and weren't disappointed). She was very approachable and a good hostess.There is a range of good cafes for morning coffee (cakes and scones) in Lochgilphead and if you need any supplies, the Lochgilphead Co-Op has everything you might need.I am confident in recommending this cottage.
