A comfortable cottage with an amazing outlook. The wildlife in the backgarden, down to the shore and beyond is extremely variable and constantly interesting The hosts John and Alice are very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The tiny Isle of Seil is absolutely delightful.We have already booked Willowburn for next year and can't wait to spend time there again

We had a wonderful week and would recommend this smashin place . Brilliant views and wildlife. Comfortable bed ....best sleep I've had in ages. Hopefully we will get ourselves back again. Next time we'd make sure we took bread, butter and milk so we could at least have some toast for breakfast...oh and coffee/ tea too. You will get a very decent meal in the hotel but sadly they only do breakfast for residents.
