The cottage was so well equipped and to a high standard and well finished. It was comfortable , cosy and clean. The views were amazing and it was well situated and within access to all the island. The hostess was very attentive, helpful and full of local knowledge. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return.

Woodland cottage is a lovely, comfortable base a short distance from busier more touristy areas such as Whiting Bay and Lamlash. The owners Mr And Mrs Scott live next door and are wonderful hosts. Always ready with information about the best places to visit and handy for any queries you may have. Situated in Dippen the cottage benefits from an elevated position looking out over the Firth of Clyde towards mainland Scotland, with stunning views over the sea and coastline. It is served by a regular bus service giving access to all areas of the island with shops and restaurants within easy traveling distances. Highly recommended.
