Peaceful

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property was very clean, tidy, tastefully decorated and well equipped. We’re regular visitors to Scotland and would recommend this property. It’s well situated with some lovely walks along the canal. Inveraray is a short distance away. There are a few nice shops and cafe to visit there and of course the castle. We saw the red squirrel, which was such a treat and the birds that come to feed are plentiful. We would definitely recommend this property. Ideal for some down time.

Great cottage and location

This is a fab cottage, plenty of space and well equipped, just about everything you'll need. Communication from the owner was very good and helpful and we had no problems while we were there. The location is really good, quiet location but not too far from a main road, it's easy to park and access the cottage. The canal was close by so there are plenty of walks and places to explore further afield. The only downside we found was that the cottage wasn't very warm and cosy, we were there in July and yet fount it quite chilly of an evening. The heating is adjusted so the temperature can't be increased Lovely place to stay but wouldn't like to be there when it wasn't summer.

Thank you very much for your lovely review. I am pleased to hear that you had a great holiday. I would like to just correct you on one point. It is not the case that the heating cannot be adjusted. The heating can indeed be adjusted as clearly explained in the information in the cottage. We set a summer seasonal maximum of 19/20 degrees and our guests find this is warm enough in the cottage in summer.

Very nice house

My son and I really liked the house in Cairnbaan. It is very central for visiting Argyll and the surrounding islands by ferry. Jane contacted us in a very pleasant way and asked how we were. The space in the house is very good. Bath and shower are easy to use. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are provided. A basic equipment in the kitchen is available. The WiFi works flawlessly throughout the house. The house is very quietly located near the picturesque Crinan Canal. There are enough parking spaces directly in front of the house.
