We have thoroughly enjoyed staying here in this beautiful cottage!

We had lunch in our favourite pub in Balmaha – The Oak Tree – lovely food, lovely service and dog friendly!
We had a drive up to Millarrochy Bay which is a beautiful spot, and also a drive down to Greenock for a walk along the esplanade. We also had a walk around Luss, one of our favourite spots, very picturesque and the addition of the new distillery was great – we can recommend going there for coffee and cake.

We will certainly recommend this cottage to everyone and will hopefully be back ourselves too!

Thank you, Laura, Chris and Otis (the sausage dog!)
