  We booked to stay at Marys Cottage for a week at the start of December.

  The cottage is perfect and there are so many little home touches that make such a difference. The kitchen is so well equipped, the luxury bath bubbles, soaps and hand creams are lovely and the bed is so comfortable with the softest sheets. I’d also like to note that unlike most cottages you stay in, the loo roll was the same quality I’d buy at home which sounds silly, but really makes a difference when you’re staying for a week. The location is idyllic and we never got bored of waking up and looking out on the loch, in fact we made the most of the daylight and sat at the table until it was dark most days. We highly recommend going to visit the Argdour Ales Brewery (come out of the cottage and turn left, walking a little way up the road and it’s on your left) for a beer and ordering a pizza on Friday night - delicious. We learned all about ‘Mary’ of Marys Cottage from the locals too which was lovely. Caroline is so helpful (she messaged to say the ferry had stopped running due to the storm one day during our stay) and very kind leaving us some Scottish treats and a wee dram to enjoy. We really can’t wait to visit again as it really is the most beautiful, calm and peaceful place to visit - Thank you Caroline for a truly memorable stay.

  We had a wonderful week at this beautiful cottage on the banks of the Loch.

  The cottage was well equipped and cosy and lived up to its name as we saw otters and seals in the loch. We ate at and visited the Hollytree hotel which was a ten minute walk away along the cycle path and we spent a pleasant few evenings looking for sea glass on the little beach across from the cottage. There is a small tidal rock outcrop a few mins to the right of the cottage along the path where seals and otters can also be seen. Despite the road in front this was a peaceful cottage with fabulous views over the ever changing view as the weather and tide rolled in. This was a great base for exploring the local area and we visited Fort William for the Jacobite train, Oban for a Mull & Iona tour and we also visited Highland fold for ice cream and highland cows which is well worth a visit. Only very minor comment on cottage would be the recycling signage was a bit confusing with lots of it and could do with simplifying. We figured it out in the end and had a fab time and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Thank you!

  A fantastic stay at Sea Otter Cottage.

  Had a courtesy call from Cherry a few days before and a text reminder of the key code. First impressions of the cottage were wonderful. Clean and cosy, logs stocked by the fire and a gorgeous welcome basket with shortbread, wine and jams. The location of the cottage is lovely although the road out front is noisy. 15 minutes to Glencoe with brilliant access to the Highlands on the A82. Everything felt clean and new in the cottage. We really enjoyed doing a jigsaw and reading the Rough guide to Scotland book. Shower was clean but towels were still very fluffy (obviously new) so left fluff on your after bathing (a tiny thing). The beds were large and comfortable and we found the storage in the kitchen / bedrooms very handy. We found the walking / cycle path in front of the cottage handy for walking our dogs. Overall a really lovely stay in a lovely location. We would certainly return to the Highlands and would look to book Sea Otter Cottage again. 10/10

  Absolutely stunning views to wake up to that view for a week was breathtaking.

  The house it's self was very clean very tidy throughout. It had everything you wanted. The extras that were left for us tea bags, coffee, milk, some snacks and lovely flowers was all very welcome when we arrived. We loved that you had to get the ferry across to the house, it made our trip even more fun(there is a road round but it's quite a trip on small roads) . Definitely worth a read through the visitors guide, it was recommended to visit the Audgour inn which was lovely and Audgour ales was brilliant and spent most evenings there sat outside taking in the amazing view. They have pizza night on a Friday which was delicious. We had fresh bread delivered from Audgour ales on Sunday morning and it was warm sooo lovely. Our host was brilliant easy to get in touch with and helpful when our car had a flat battery nothing was to to much trouble. Thank you for an amazing week loved every minute.

  Location is amazing!

  To catch a ferry over the loch to get to the cottage makes it feel really isolated and almost no other people there, but 5 doors down is a friendly pub. The cottage is really well equipped, we spent a week there and cooked every night. Every possible utensil, loads of pans, great knives and the kettle and toaster are way above the usual basic brands. The open plan living room / kitchen has a really nice feel, great for board games, cooking and watching the birds all at the same time. The fire is really nice on a cold and windy day and easy to light. Beds are comfy and there is even a garden out back. Feels like a real home, rather than just a place to stay. I'd highly recommend for a peaceful getaway. Just remember to get lots of shopping in before you get the ferry over and then you don't have to go back.
