Reviews
It is in a stunning location that took us by surprise. The Owner was so helpful and easy to communicate with. We loved it.
Great location on the Crinan Canal Cottage
The location was perfect and very quiet. The owner was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Property owner very helpful and kept us up to date with events in the area. A great base for exploring the area. Plenty to see and do
The cottage was very well-equipped and in a great location. The owner provided lots of information about things to do and places to eat. It was a joy to return to the cottage at the end of the day to enjoy the wood burner.
We liked the location, the view from the lounge window and the wood burning stove.
The weather was really very bad indeed, so it was a good excuse to relax, do the crossword, watch box sets etc. in front of a lovely wood burning stove, enjoying the paintings. Being right beside the canal was great, and we did manage one very windy walk along its banks. Lunch at the Crinan Hotel was a great treat and view from the Gallery Bar was outstanding.
Great location to visit. Crinan Canal cottage was very cozy and well equipped, with a lovely view of the canal lock gates.
Beautiful location, ideal base for exploring a fascinating region or for chilling in the peaceful surroundings.
Very nice property and location. Well presented.
The Cottage was in a very quiet location but not isolated, there were plenty of places to visit within the area. The scenery was breathtaking and there were some very nice places to eat nearby. A wonderful break away from it all.
The location was excellent and the cottage had everything we needed. There were lots of things to do and see including; walking, cycling and fishing. There was also a pub a ten minute walk away. The owner provided comprehensive information, with contact details in case anything went amiss. All in all, it couldn't have been better. Highly recommended.
The holiday was absolutely fantastic, with lots to see and do in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. The cottage itself is in the most idyllic of settings and even the lesser active out there would love this place with its easy access and low level walks on the banks of the Crinan canal.
Cottage is very warm and welcoming with very friendly neighbours. It is modern and well equipped. Owner very helpful also.
This is a very pretty and comfortable cottage in a great location right on the Crinan Canal. The area is extremely interesting and there are many places to visit that show Scotland's ancient history. Kilmartin was very good in particular and only down the road. We would definitely recommend a stay here and we hope to come back soon.
Very comfortable cottage in a perfect location for our needs. The owner was excellent at communicating with us and was friendly and welcoming. We would stay again.
The area was lovely, right on canal.
We really enjoyed this cottage, lovely condition and lovely area. Will recommend to friends and family. Great for cycling!
Scottish scenery is changeable from region to region. This part tends to be more green and lush. Different types of walks which suits the less adventurous walker and of course the area is steeped in history and archaeology. Cottage owner was informative and helpful and as she lived locally could be contacted easily if required.
