"An absolutely super stay !"

10.0

Darren & Karen were simply perfect hosts. Before we arrived they provided additional details about their location. They are very friendly and have a great knowledge of the best places to visit in the area. They provided a large supply of local tourist pamphlets & maps to help. There was a large choice of both food and drink for breakfast - which was very tasty. Top top job Darren & Karen

Parking directly outside the cottage was a little tight - but there was plenty of space available only a few metres away.

"Absolutely outstanding."

10.0

We managed to get the same room we had last year, and it was a 'home from home' experience. Darren and Karen were, as ever, outstanding hosts and we can't wait to go back.

There is absolutely nothing that we would change. The only thing is that they are so deservedly popular with their guests, that they are fully booked for months ahead, and it is not at all easy to make another booking this year.

"Great location and great stay"

9.0

I have mobility issues and my balance isn't good. I mentioned this when booking the room and the owners very kindly took this into consideration and gave me a downstairs room with access to the outside within easy reach of my car. I really appreciated this. The accomodation is within easy reach of Oban and Kilmartin Glen. I used this as a stop off to break my journey up from Skye to home. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. They were very knowledgeable on the local history of the area which I found very useful and helpful as I was wanting to explore Kilmartin Glen.

Just a couple of nit picking things, 1, I used a towel only once and hung it up to dry in the bathroom. The towel was taken away without a replacement put in place and although I was left with a small and large towel, I was planning on washing my hair the next day and as it's long, just needed another towel to wrap my hair in. 2, I made myself a coffee in the room. The cup and spoon were taken away and although there was another clean cup there wasn't another teaspoon so I stirred my coffee with a pen. Just nitpicking things but a bit frustrating. Otherwise, everything from the location, room, comfy bed and large accessible shower was perfect and I will definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.

"Great hosts and location."

Excellent location on the coast and adjacent to Scottish Trust gardens. Fresh local breakfast and chance to taste area produce.

Would have liked bottled water provided.
