An absolute gem hidden away but not too far from any exploring you want to do. It was such a cozy quaint elegant part of the world. Friendly relaxed hosts. Jon & I loved it and if we lived in Scotland we would haunt this little jewel regularly!

Lovely quiet place to stay

A lovely place to stay, quiet and secluded. It's small but well equipped and everything worked well. No cell phone reception because of the enclosed valley location but the wifi is excellent. There are good hill walks directly from the cottage and lots more within a 20 minute drive. Have stayed before and will hopefully stay again next year.

This wee but’n’ben was a perfect, peaceful escape from the city - even with the owners house right behind I was amazed at how quiet and tranquil it was. Great location for walks on the door step and everything I needed for a comfortable, self-catered stay. Lots of hot water and a lovely wood-burning stove that I enjoyed lighting even though it wasn’t particularly cold!Plenty of off-leash walks for my spaniel so she was delighted too: having the waterfall walk as a go to each morning and evening was very lovely, I’ll miss that.Midges were a pest but once I got the right deterrents and ointments I could deal with them effectively, wasn’t really prepared for them to be so evident this early!

Perfect location

Loved the location and all the stunning walks directly from the cottage, wildlife was great and Mark gave us really useful tips. Take the Dunoon ferry to save travel time instead of driving round no booking needed, just drive on.

Hidden gem - highly reccomend!!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Glenbranter Cottage; the cottage is very stylish, super comfortable and the kitchen is really well equipped. The location was perfect to explore the local area and was really peaceful. Alison and Mark's personal recommendations and advice were great, and it was lovely to meet them both. We would highly reccomend a stay here and would not hesitate to stay again.

Perfect Hideaway!

This pretty little cottage is in a beautiful location, you really have to see it to believe it. We loved our stay here, there was so much to do and see we will have to return and we definitely wished we had booked for longer. So many walking routes on the doorstep in the most spectacular scenery.It is a perfect haven, our host gave us a warm welcome and the cottage had everything you could need.

Lovely Cosy Cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at Glenbranter Cottage. The location is beautiful and there are lots of lovely woodland walks in the area. The cottage is very well appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The welcome bottle of prosecco was a nice surprise too! Mark and Alison were very helpful and gave us some good tips on things to do and places to eat. We would happily stay there again.
