Such great hosts!
Had an amazing and beautiful stay at this cosy cottage. Very attentive hosts and recommended things to do on the rainy days and helped with pumping up our tyres for the trip home! Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful location
I had wonderful weather and the hosts could not have been more helpful. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Only 2 criticisms: the mirror in the bathroom should be a few inches lower. I am 5ft 2 inches and could only see the top of my head and pepper and salt would be very nice.

Nice cottage.
This was a nice cottage but the beds were very uncomfortable. The mattress was thin and felt like you were sleeping on the metal. I was not comfortable here and did not stay the entire time that I booked for.

Great place to stay
Cottage is lovely and in a great location. Would highly recommend for a nice relaxing break. Eileen the owner was very quick to deal with a leaking tap. 5 days wasn't enough.

Cottage charmant, vue magique!
3 jours au calme, les pieds dans l'eau dans ce cottage charmant, avec beaucoup de cachet, bien rénové et équipé. Terrasse en bord de plage, une vue extraordinaire sur la mer et l'île de Bute. Le village de Kames est très calme et très beau. Coup de cœur de notre voyage en Écosse !
