We spent a couple of nights in one of the cottages and had a lovely relaxing time. It was just two of us and our 5 year old and everyone enjoyed it.
Location is perfect. Just 5 mins down the road from Inveraray and within half an hour or 45 mins of more beautiful places than you can shake a stick at.
Inside the kitchen has everything, and I really mean everything, you need. Travelling with a small boy we very often self cater and so a well kitted out kitchen is a must and this ticked all the boxes. From a huge fridge freezer to ample cupboard space to every utensil and some. Cleaning equipment etc all in attendance.
The living room and dining area were a great size with two sofas and a 6 seater table. The satellite WiFi was perfect and covered the whole cottage no bother. There are a selection of games as well.
Bathroom was small but had all we needed. Warm shower and a clean toilet and sink with plenty of hot water.
Bedrooms were clean and well dressed. My only gripe was the curtains are paper thin so unless you do as we did and bodge a blackout curtain from some blankets, it's pretty much daylight inside from 5am. Which for a 5 year old of course means it's time to get up and go crazy. Which for sleep deprived parents means much grumbling haha. So a note to the owners that some heavier curtains would make parents happier than you can imagine. Small complaint of course and doesn't detract from it at all.

Have just spent 2 weeks here in Oak Cottage. We've had a wonderful time. The surroundings are heavenly & it's blissful sitting outside with a cup of coffee listening to the wildlife & the stream running nearby. The provision for dogs is outstanding & yet when we walked into our cottage it was so clean & fresh you'd never know dogs had been there. The beds are extremely comfortable with superior bedding & pillows. All of the furniture was of an excellent standard which made our stay much more comfortable & enjoyable. Everything you need & then some more is provided in the kitchen. It's a perfect location for exploring nearby or further afield. Everyone is very friendly & helpful, special thanks to Lesley for her kind, attentive & friendly service. It's been an absolute pleasure to holiday here, so much so we didn't want to leave. We will be returning.
