A comfortable well equipped cottage bungalow in its own grounds. A large secure garden, which is great for dogs. The owner, Caroline checked out our stay at the start and end of the holiday. Two bedrooms, one King size bed and other with two single beds which were very comfortable, giving us a sound sleep. Easy access to Campbeltown Tarbert and Lochgilphead. Campbeltown has quite a few cafes, our favorite being Cafe Bluebell near to the harbour. Take care when exiting the gated cottage onto tha A83. Exiting mirrors would ensure a safer manoeuvre.Access to the cottage is via a key safe by the back door. All in all, a lovely relaxing stay. Would definitely revisit.
