Guests say
Farragon Cottage is praised for its lovely, spacious interiors and stunning, peaceful location, ideal for exploring the area and enjoying scenic walks. Guests appreciate the welcome pack, robes, and slippers, though some mention a need for additional equipment and mention of fleas. The single track road access is noted, and the estate manager is helpful. The property is well-regarded as a relaxing base with beautiful views, perfect for a quiet getaway.
The reviews do not extensively cover cleanliness. However, one mention of fleas suggests a potential issue, although this is not a recurring theme across the reviews. The majority of guests do not raise cleanliness as a concern, indicating general satisfaction.
The location is consistently lauded for its beauty and tranquillity, with guests enjoying the proximity to scenic walks and the loch. The single track road is mentioned, but it does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting its spaciousness and the large bed. However, one guest mentioned an uncomfortable mattress, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
While the cottage is described as well-equipped with lovely touches, some guests suggest the addition of more kitchen equipment and basics like rubbish bags and toilet roll. An air fryer and non-slip bath mat are also suggested. The presence of an estate manager for assistance is a positive aspect.
The welcome pack, robes, and slippers are frequently mentioned and appreciated by guests, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while a delightful surprise, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely cottage with great views and walks. The bed is huge - I had no idea if my husband was still there! Was a bit disappointed that there was only one sofa as the pictures show two - now one sofa and an arm chair.The welcome pack was a lovely and appreciated touch, as was the robes and slippers.As the shower is over the bath a non-slip bath mat would perhaps be a good idea.All in all, we had a great week.

Lovely quiet location. Plenty of space and unintrusive. Love the sheep in the back garden. Plenty of walks around area. Kenmore had a nice cafe at reasonable prices. Very scenic too!! Would be nice to have a bit more equipment and basics such as rubbish bags, toilet roll and general kitchen equipment and utensils. Air fryer Would be handy!Di the estate manager very helpful.These are just little things really and would not stop us from a return visit!
