"The property was beautiful and the men who work there were unbelievably helpful. I arrived hours before my check-in time because of my flight and only had to pay a very small fee for early check-in. The room was gorgeous and very clean. There was an informational welcome packet as well as a booklet with things to do in the area."

10/10 Excellent
"Wir wohnten 2 Wochen in dem idyllischen kleinen Haus am Wasser. Es ist recht geräumig, man findet alles, was man benötigt. Die Ausblicke aus den Fenstern sind sehr romantisch. Wir haben, wenn die Sonne schien, draußen gefrühstückt mit Blick auf die See (Firth of Clyde). Hinter dem Haus kann man am Abend den Sonnenuntergang über dem Loch erleben. Parkmöglichkeit gibt es auch in direkter Nähe zum Haus. Unser Urlaub war unvergesslich. Mike ist ein fürsorglicher und unkomplizierter Gastgeber."
