The plumbing was a bit dubious in the bathroom particularly with the shower- but it did not spoil our enjoyment

Always a peaceful and comfortable stay at Gunpowder. It’s very quiet. Loads of things to do locally. The fireplace is very cosy. The place has everything you need. If you sit on the porch at dusk you can hear tawny owls calling.

Excellent property

If you're looking for an out-of-the-way place to hide, away from tourists even on the busiest of times, this is it. Surrounded by plenty of outdoor activities, a great beach just down the road, this is it.

Revitalising week away

My partner and I wanted a calm, cosy week away. It was quaint, quiet and the surroundings were beautiful. Such lovely views walks and cake stops so close by, and simply lovely to come back to a log fire and in a traditional cottage. The interiors of the cottage were beautiful. It was so cosy with the fire and the additional heaters. Everything needed was there. A perfect place to spend a week away in Scotland.

Gun Powder Cottage was so wonderfully cozy and welcoming! New radiators and a great fireplace were all big bonuses. We had wonderful contact with the property and it was incredibly clean. We had everything we needed to cook and a great selection of books for all ages and games. There were a few details around the property that needed fixing or maintenance but nothing that would affect us staying again. Even though most things were shutting down for the season, this was a great base for exploring and easy to heat up after a day out. Loved that there was a dishwasher and washing machine (though we didnt stay long enough to do any laundry). We would happilly return or I would even come back on my own it was so peaceful.

Cosy and quiet

This is a cosy, semi-detached cottage in a small village called Millport. It has two bedrooms, each with a double bed, and a compact living area. NB: this cottage has no central heating or piped hot water. Gunpowder cottage has a lot to recommend it if you plan ahead for these conditions. There’s an electric shower, a wood-fired stove in the living area, and space heaters in the bedrooms. The floors are slate and can be very cold underfoot in October when we visited. Plan ahead by bringing warm slippers, warm pyjamas, and extra blankets if you are visiting in colder parts of the year (September to May). We found the location very quiet and an excellent base for exploring the Cowal peninsula. The internet works great. Nice and very complete kitchen. The dishwasher is weirdly in the laundry area but we managed because there’s no hot water to wash dishes by hand. Once you get the wood stove going, it’s very warm in the living room. You’ll have to pay £7.50 for each bundle of wood. There’s books, games, and a nice smart tv. Think of it as an upscale bothie. The Morrisons in Dunoon has everything for cooking up a good meal and there’s loads of beautiful walks nearby. Puck’s Glen is unmissable and the nearby Kilbride Bay is stunning. It is a gorgeous area. There’s a lot of wildlife, especially birds. If I had any suggestions to the owners: please include some extra blankets, a hairdryer and maybe a plunger for the toilet.
