We had the best week here. The location was perfect. I took my kayaks to explore Loch Etive which was stunning and from the kayak gave you some amazing views. The sunsets were out of this world. The walks are varied and many which the dogs loved. They didn’t move our first day home they were so shattered. Every thing you need locally an amazing little shop, and great pub with great food. Will definitely book again.

Amazing location. We spent hours looking out at over the Loch. We spotted seals and otters without leaving the kitchen. The cottage is ideal for visitors with dogs as the large garden is enclosed.
