The cottage is well-equipped and comfortable, making it ideal for families and dog owners. While the remote access road and some aspects of cleanliness and kitchenware maintenance are noted as minor drawbacks, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, but several mentioned areas needing improvement, such as skirting boards, cobwebs, and chipped paintwork. These issues were not major but were noted given the price point.
The location is widely celebrated for its tranquillity, stunning views, and proximity to wildlife and walking routes. The only caution is the challenging access road, which requires careful driving, especially for low vehicles.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is very remote and the road down to it is not good to say the least. We went for a quiet, peaceful holiday and that is what we got. It is a long way from local amenities so anyone who wants to be in the thick of things would not enjoy it or I imagine they would'nt. The scenery and the wildlife you see is something special. For anyone who enjoys walking and enjoys a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle we would thoroughly recommend Invernoe Cottage.

Our 4th stay and as usual totally fabulous. Total peace and quiet and the wildlife is second to none. If your wanting shops and pubs on your doorstep this isn't the place for you, and be warned the road to the cottage isn't for the faint hearted and when it says not suitable for certain vehicles it means it!!. But if your wanting a secluded break in fabulous surroundings this is a great retreat.
