Guest Reviews
- Theresa (7/5): -
- chris (3/5): - Location good Bed lats broken and need replacing
Very compact good there were only two of us
- Keith (7/5): Super compact but clean and well equipped - Well located. Clean, well equipped, and provided with good instructions and adequate local information. The 'challenging' stairs were an interesting feature :-) Super-compact accomodation, well utilised but with limited drying space. Sufficient for the two of us but, would I imagine, be difficult for four persons in less than ideal weather.
- Julia (6/5): Oke, maar niet geweldig - Het is opzich een knus tuinhuisje, geen uitzicht verder op de omgeving want het zit achter een ander huis. Het was oke met 4, maar aan te raden voor 2. Er valt best enigszins wat gezelligs van te maken. Host reageerde snel bij vragen. Hoewel de host vertelde vooraf aan de boeking dat er, ondanks dat het een klein huis is, vier mensen in passen zijn de spullen daar niet op ingesteld (lees: te weinig ontbijtbakjes, glazen etc) wat het erg oncomfortabel maakte en daarnaast is er 1 tweepersoons bed en een 1 persoons bed. Het andere matras ligt op de grond. Niet erg comfortabel met twee stellen. Daarnaast wegens de gevaarlijke trap ook niet veilig voor kinderen of ouderen. Hier zijn echt duidelijk verbeterpunten. Daarnaast wordt er redelijk veel van je gevraagd voor het uitchecken, niet uit liefdadigheid, maar gedwongen aangezien je anders een boete krijgt van 100 pond (alle bedden afhalen en in waszak, alles aanleveren in staat van aankomst, al het afval scheiden, alle knoppen uit) terwijl je een behoorlijk hoog bedrag betaald waaruit je best mag verwachten dat er voor je wordt schoongemaakt. We hadden ook gezeur met het parkeren, er was niet voldoende plek. Ondanks dat de host aardig was en de omgeving prachtig, voor ons niet nog een keer hier
- FRANCO (6/5): Struttura con poca abitabilità - Nella struttura ci sono piaciuti i letti, molto comodi, la cucina abbastanza accessoriata (microonde, bollitore, piatti ecc) lavatrice con asciugatrice, spugne per cucina nuove! Parcheggio di fronte riservato alla struttura (ma non sempre libero) La scala, spazi angusti anche per persone non tanto alte e agili! Direi non del tutto abitabile!
Qualche animaletto (ragni)
- Claire (5/5): - Location was great. Although we didn't use the kitchen, it had everything you could need. The stairs up to bed are a little precarious, with nowhere to hold on to, very steep and narrow, almost like a ladder. Had to go down the stairs backwards and there was no bannister to hold onto. Bed slats moved around a lot while asleep through the night and fell on the floor at times. Had to keep windows closed as there was so many wasps which came in even with the windows closed.
- Surbhi (8/5): Great location - Location superb to do walks.
- Jan (8/5): Very good -
- Mya (5/5): Passable - Cozy but cold, shower was freezing and the beds wasn't comfy Not comfy beds
- Steven (7/5): honest review - im going to write a honest review, the cottage was nice an basic overall the cottage is small but cozy. down stairs living area is small an ideal for two people max 3, regarding the fire place it's an electric heater not real fire place. the bathroom is small but basic has a Electric shower an a small electric heater overall does the job, regarding up stairs living area very nice an cozy. but the problem is very low ceiling's 6 foot max only in the centre strip so not ideal for tall people can be a bit awkward up there with the slope ceiling. also the stair's up to the top level very dangerou's, the step them self are small an easy to slip or miss Judge. also the outside area is very nice garden area also with decking area, not sure about the bbq but all in all cozy an nice. the thing i found funny was being told we needed to take the bed sheets of an pillow cover, put them in the laundry bag supplied. also we where told we need to sort out the rubbish an separate recycling where possible. iv stayed in many self catering facilities an never cone across this before having to do the cleaner's job.
- Mark (5/5): Not bad, but not for everyone. - Location and view of the loch is great. It's fairly cheap so I didn't expect The Savoy. But...the Bunkie is generally pretty tired including the sofa being pretty uncomfortable, the double bed slats kept dropping out in the night which made for an uncomfortable sleep. Wouldn't recommend anyone very tall or with limited mobility issues to stay, as it's a ladder up to the bedroom and there's very little room to manoeuvre around.
- Yuet (9/5): Superb - Clean, very close to glencoe mountain Nothing, everything good
- Tara (9/5): What a lovely stay - What a lovely place to stay. Really well looked after and well equipped for self catering
. A perfect location for accessing the hills Shower was a bit pants but it was hot and worked so it’s a minimal issue
- Joanne (5/5): The staff are incredibly helpful and reply to messages really quickly. - It was clean and cosy with the fire on.
The facilities were well maintained and it had everything we needed in for our short stay. It is really small. We stayed as a family of 4 and had really bad weather during our stay so we had to spend more time than we anticipated in it.
It’s perfect for just sleeping in if you get good weather and can explore the area.
