The cottage right next to the lock is amazing and quiet .

It was very easy and straight forward.

Wonderful stay

We stayed in the cottage 24 years ago and loved it. It has not changed much. This is the charm of the place. The cottage is situated in a quiet setting on Loch Sunart and after exploring all day was a nice place to relax and unwind. Our host Charlie was great. We had a water issue and it was handled straight away. I hope to return soon. A week was to short.

Character property in amazing location.

Remote cottage on loch shore, surrounded by beautiful tranquil , scenic countryside. Lovely views, own beach. Fantastic cosy lounge, with wood burner. Sit in the window and look out for wildlife , including sea otters and seals. We loved the property and this part of Scotland is so quiet and unspoilt. We definitely recommend it.

Magical place

I am not using the word ‘magical’ idly. Keeper’s Cottage is a dream of a one off - beautifully secluded and private and seeming almost to have a loch to itself. The cottage has a sympathetically artistic feel, a little scuffed at the edges maybe but comfortable, appealing and practically and handsomely equipped. We all loved it and felt a real wrench leaving. Wholeheartedly recommend.

A little piece of heaven

Wanted an off the grid, away from it all week and this place ticked all our boxes. A step back in time, an abundance of walks, wildlife, magnificent scenery, excellent fishing, topped with absolute peace and tranquility. Local hospitality, especially at the Stontian Hotel was superb. Seafood Paella a treat. The Emerson family have an amazing bolt hole of which we are very envious. We will be back but I suspect we will have other family members in tow.

We are delighted that you saw the place as we do. Liddesdale is special and we work hard to keep it so. We love to be able to share it with people who see and feel what we do.

Oude troep op een schitterende locatie

Het huis weinig is aangepast sinds half 18e eeuw en dat klopt dan ook helemaal!! Het huis voelt als een museum met heel veel spullen van de familie, waardoor er weinig ruimte overblijft voor de gasten. Leuk om in te kijken, maar niet om in te logeren. Het huis voelt niet schoon, ruikt niet fris: Toilet: Vieze oude en kapotte houten toiletbril (scheuren) Badkamer: Met vloerbedekking, die nat wordt en gaat stinken, er ligt een oude en versleten handdoek die als badmat moet dienen. Er is geen douchegordijn of zo. Badkruk met een gebroken bovenplaat, een vieze afgebladderde plank om je spullen op te leggen. Met 4 personen is de boiler snel leeg bij gebruik als bad. Maar douchen is onmogelijk doordat de mengkraan niet goed werkt en er te weinig water door de doucheslang kan. Moeilijk om nat te worden. Opgelost met een kannetje uit de keuken. Slaapkamers: geen enkele bergruimte voor je kleding. Huiskamer: Op het oog gezellig, maar veel vlekken op de vloerbedekking en de bank. Oude doorgezakte fauteuil met vieze en kapotte armleuningen. Woonkeuken: Er staat een hele kapotte oude bank, die te vies is om op te zitten. Heel oud laden-kastje met bestek van allerlei perioden, waarvan je het gevoel hebt alles na te moeten kijken of het wel schoon is. Vloer, tafel en stoelen waren niet schoon. Spoelruimte: te klein om te kunnen staan, vieze oude stenen gootsteen vol putten. Afgetimmerd met oude houten planken, die constant nat zijn of worden en een broedplaats voor schimmels en bacteriën. Te vies om je vaat op te zetten. Servies op open planken, niet fris. De meeste pannen te oud en te bruin om te gebruiken. Bijkeuken: planken met voorraad van de familie of van gasten, stonk verschrikkelijk naar rook of gerookt voedsel. Vies hok. Buiten: hoewel een prachtig terrein om te zitten en te genieten, is er geen stoel of bank te vinden. Alleen kapotte opvouwbare visstoeltjes in de trapkast. We voelden ons soms opgesloten in het huis, door veel knutjes in onze periode en omdat er in het gras ook erg veel teken zaten. Wij hebben 11 teken moeten verwijderen. De eigenaar zou de gasten hiervoor moeten waarschuwen in zijn beschrijving. Bovenstaande bezwaren gemaild naar de eigenaar. Hij was het met veel van onze punten eens en had plannen om veel aan te pakken, maar daar hadden wij niets aan. Een schaduw over de vakantie. Niet ontspannen. Een huis verhuren voor deze prijs moet niets vies zijn, kapot of armoedig. Prachtig uitzicht en omgeving, bedden en oven ok.

Authentic Lovely Cottage

We had a great week in a lovely cottage next to a fantastic loch in Highlands. I strongly recommend the cottage to anyone looking for amazing landscape, very quite area and fishing. Owner of the cottage is very helpful and quick to respond when we had small problems due to cold weather.

We are delighted to have had guests this year who 'get' the cottage, which is unusual mainly because you feel transported back in time - and indeed little has changed in recent years except putting in electricity. There is no television or radio available although we do now have wi-fi so you can have a line of communication to the world. There is no central heating so you rely on the woodburner in the sitting room and the Rayburn in the kitchen for heat, in the main. It is set in an idyllic spot right on the loch with several acres of land around and it is a restorative holiday destination to quite a few people.

Real coothy cottage!!! Full of family memories built into the fibre of the cottage

Overall we had a fantastic stay at keepers cottage!! If you are looking for a real authentic place to stay this is it... Comfortable, all the things you need especially in the kitchen... you step back time.... lots of quirky artefacts... especially the clock which we discovered was made by one of the family- I dubbed it “ when the Cheshire Cat meets Captain Hook “ Really tranquil setting but be prepared for rain ☔️

Een charmant, eenvoudig cottage op een ongelooflijk mooie plek!

Niet luxe, maar zeer sfeervol en heerlijk rustig. Herten in de tuin en ottertjes in de baai, hemels!
