Amazing house. Perfect for a family get together. Loads of space, masses of equipment,plates,glasses etc and great location. Could not recommend ut highly enough.
Fred
Great house, comfortable,well equipped only downside the steps up to the property for those with mobility issues. Fantastic views good local facilities. The main road is very busy during the day so care must be taken with dogs and children but very accessible location. If only the weather wasn't so Scottish summer but all guests still had a great tRead moreime. Thank you for making a big birthday celebration so memorable. Hide
Barbara
the cottage is well equiped and has good views. there is plenty of room for larger parties.
Steve
Property and its position are fantastic, amazing views and setting and so readily accessible. Opportunities to explore the surrounding area and the mountains are abound. The hot tub was a real bonus.
Nicky
Great Property, the hot tub was amazing, the views were out of this world. Great location, the swing in the back garden was great. We loved it all so much, we have already booked to go back next year. The village inn is great for drinks and a meal out. The village shop is also well stocked, with great produce.
Chris
Very big and spacious - great for large groups of people. Great kitchen with a lot of really useful utensils for cooking. I felt the place was very clean and well presented and the welcome pack of different things to snacks and a bottle of wine was a nice touch. Idyllic location with great views of Loch Long and the surrounding mountains. DefinitelRead morey requires renting/owning a car to get to and from activities as it is quite out of the way. Hide
Claire
The house is lovely, perfect for a big party with lots of room and the location is beautiful. The house is very well equipped with everything you need.
Robert
Beautiful house and location
Michelle
This was a complete last minute booking , phoned in the morning and travelled the same day. I spoke to Tony one of the owners who was lovely . This cottage was an absolute delight. Was perfect size , we took our 4 children aged 21,18,15 &12 with our daughters partner also. The rooms was all a lovely size and the views from the cottage was outstandiRead moreng. It is a steep hill from the road up to the house so any one unsteady will struggle. We had a lovely hamper left also which was a nice touch . Hide
Dorothy Jill
Wonderful house, felt at home right away. Safe and secure surroundings for the dogs, so great that you are not constantly worried they will escape out off the garden if someone leaves the door open. Excellent utility room, everything you could wish for. Great instructions and information. Lastly, what an amazing hot tub, temperature, towels, water Read morelevel and views. Best hot tub we have ever experienced. Thank you Hide
Gemma
Absolutely amazing property. Its big and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. The hot tub was the icing on the cake, overlooking the hills and loch. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas, we just had the most wonderful time.
Maxine
Fabulous relaxing break, the house was very comfortable and the hot tub was just amazing
stuart
Amazing location overlooking loch long and only a 5 minute walk to the loch. Property is perfect for dog owners (hot and cold taps outside to wash the dogs down) and the jacuzzi was perfect to relax in the evening and look over the loch. Good size rooms and layout with all mod cons and kept very clean. Large tv with sky to watch should conversationRead more wane next to the fire. Loved our stay. Hide
Martin
Lovely house in good location with great views over Loch
Stephen
A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Views from the decking were breathtaking and we were blessed with fantastic weather for the time of the year (early September). Good sized & enclosed garden with decking area gated at either end so ideal for pets. An ideal base for exploring the local countryside and attractions.
Toby
Amazing views to the Cobbler and adjacent hills. Lovely hot-tub. Clean and spacious. Great location for exploring the area. Local restaurants are pretty basic but you can easily get out to Loch Fyne Oyster bar for lunch.
Joan
Fantastic location and views. Well equipped cottage and wonderful, large hot tub. The cottage is very quirky, especially the dining chairs! Four large bedrooms all en-suite but the fifth room is a bunk room with no bathroom, so only really suitable for children.
marianne
Perfect holiday stay. The house and location made our holiday really memorable. We were 2 families consisting of 5 adults and 3 children. The accommodation felt like a home from home, with the added bonus of a hot tub. The location was great. A perfect base camp for venturing to many of the lochs and towns. Everyday was full of activities and we we re able to relax at the house and enjoy the hot tub and fantastic views at the end of these busy days.
Robert
Roomy accommodation, well equipped and excellent views. Hot tub was great for all ages . Plenty of options for food and close to attractions.
sandra
A lot of steps at entrance. The garden is not secure and safe for pets and children. The house is great but needs to be maintained a bit better. Queries were not dealt with. A bit disappointed really
Nikola
Great property with value for money. In a gorgeous location you can look upon from the hot tub whatever the weather. Great location to travel from to see a wide range of places. Thank you!
Jolene
House was beautiful and had everything you might need. We had a wonderful long weekend and the rainy Sunday didnt matter as the fire and Tv had plenty to keep us happy as well as jigsaws and scrabble Loved the fact that all but one room had en suite, and the decor was quirky and cosy at the same time. Only thing to be aware of is that the chippy is shut and less open in winter Locally there are a few nice places to eat especially the Village Inn but a bit of a walk after if you cant walk far
Jo
Beautiful house in a fabulous location on Long Loch. We had a great holiday over New Year - two families with grown up kids and partners and 4 dogs - and still plenty of room for everyone. Lovely welcome pack on arrival too! We even saw a magnificent stag in the garden on our last day!
Katrina
What an amazing house, has everything you could need. We stayed as a family of ten over Xmas and booked both Long view and the Wee Yin (property underneath the main house). Ample room for us all and the dogs. Very relaxing break, with walks all around the area and a few local pubs to enjoy a Xmas drink or two. The main lounge was great to relax in the evenings in front of the log/coal fire (oh and coal and wood are provided for your whole stay).
Lynn
This cottage was just amazing! So so clean! Everything we needed and the little touches like the ice in the freezer, dog treats, the endless supply of logs, the wine in the welcome pack! Nothing is too much trouble, a hand blender dropped in when we needed one, thank you!!! The hot tub is huge! Much bigger than in the photos and the views from ther e were amazing, our teenage son has never been cleaner!! We are all so relaxed after just a week, this place is 10 stars, thank you so much!!
Hew
A beautiful, spacious and comfortable property with fantastic views of the Arrochar Alps and Loch Long.
Jill
Had a fantastic week. Would highly recommend this property. Would have loved to have stayed longer. The beds were really comfortable. The property was well equipped and had everything we needed. The hot tub was well used. It was so relaxing with amazing views.
Jonathan
Excellent location, view and value for money - just wish we could have booked for 2 weeks.
Nicola
We really enjoyed our stay here. The view is incredible and we loved sitting in the hot tub watching the clouds roll by. It's really spacious so six people and three large dogs fit incredibly comfortably. The garden isn't secure so the dogs couldn't be left to mooch unsupervised but it did mean we had a deer visit us one evening which was amazing. There was a problem with the hot tub which the care taker sorted in less than 24 hours - she was super responsive when we needed her. Great spot!
Nick
Nice property. Wouldnt recommend it for dog owners as the garden and surrounding areas are tick infested. Owners arent very accommodating so dont expect assistance if you have any issues - everything is an effort.
Jan
Stayed for 1 week with friends and family from Scotland, England and USA. Everyone had a great time. Views are stunning from the house. Everything you could possibly need is in the house. The caretaker is very friendly and on hand if you need anything.
Fiona
Beautiful house and well equipped. Ideal for large family or friends gatherings but does contain a lot of steps if anyone is less mobile. There is also no temperature gauge on the hot tub so we were unable to turn it down as we found it too hot. Disappointed an issue we had with one of the en-suites was not acknowledged by the caretaker or owners. None of the issues spoilt the holiday and certainly would look to book again as the views were stunning and an ideal base to explore the area.
Darren
The cottage was beautiful, very well presented, clean and equipped with everything for your stay. The location is great with a lovely little pub serving food nearby and a little shop that sells all essentials needed. Highly recommended
Amy
It was perfect. One of the best holidays we've ever had. We usually visit a place once for a holiday but we'd love to come back! It was a good central base to see different attractions. The kitchen was big with a lot of facilities. The hot tub was in a scenic location- we were in it in all weather for the view! I'm a picky sleeper but the beds were very comfortable.
Susan
Brilliant location. Log fire and hot tub fantastic. Fabulous room sizes with four of five bedrooms ensuite. Large living room kitchen and dining conservatory. Plenty of towels and bedding in large utility room with washing machine tumble dryer iron etc. Would stay again. Caretaker Angie very helpful.
Vicki
We came as a family, three generations, with not one of us able to find fault with this incredible gem of a holiday home. The VIEWS from the front windows are Scotland in a nutshell. The house layout catered for our every need. Sitting round a roaring log fire, after soaking in the hot tub on the decking, made our family staycation a most memorable experience. Thank you for literally thinking of EVERYTHING we would need and more. Well be back!
Robert
Stunning location, beautiful house with high standard of furnishing. Beds were very comfortable. Lovely open fire. Especially good to see that the large garden had been fenced so that it was safe for the dogs.
George
Nowhere to keep toiletries in the shower. Non slip mat needed in shower. Aga not working. Dishwasher was very smelly on arrival. Couldnt find remote for tv in twin room. Although the house sleeps 11 there is nowhere that 11 people can dine together. A different table and chairs to sit 11 would be good in the conservatory.
