Most guests found the cottage clean, with one mentioning it was very clean upon arrival. However, one review cited issues with cleanliness, including dirty kitchen utensils and carpets, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to ferries and islands, with beautiful sea views and sunsets. It's deemed perfect for exploring the Kintyre peninsula, though the proximity to a main road is noted.
Guests find the cottage cosy and well-equipped, but several mention that the mattress is uncomfortable and in need of replacement, affecting the comfort score.
The cottage is appreciated for its amenities, including a log burner and good 4G reception. However, reports of maintenance issues like a problematic shower door and holes in the flooring impact the score.
Guests are delighted by thoughtful gestures such as fresh flowers and home-baked banana bread. While these treats are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, though wonderful, are not guaranteed.

Lovely cosy cottage. Well equipped and overlooking the sea. Good location for exploring Kintyre. On a main road but not too busy. Garden is not enclosed so had to keep our dog on a lead with the road, but not a problem. Heating and log burner were perfect, even in late December.We had a lovely week ☺️

Belloch Cottage for us was lovely, comfortable and cosy. Being familiar with the area, we really enjoyed this location, and despite it being on the main road (A83), we never noticed the traffic at all.Having a dog we did have to watch as the garden is not enclosed but in truth there was plenty of walking nearby or slightly further afield by car.We would without doubt want to stay here again.There was a welcome of fresh flowers and delicious home baked banana bread.We did visit the nearby village shops in both Glenbarr and Muasdale with Campbeltown being 10 miles away.Overall this cottage suited us perfectly
