    Not a criticism but more of a suggestion! The low door is charming but perhaps a grab handle on the inside would help older guests as the two sets are steep.

    Comfort, cleanliness hosts,both husband and wife were hugely hospitable and helpful. Thank you both. We,ll be back for sure.

    There wasn't anything we didn't like.

    The breakfast basket was really well thought out and the host provided for gluten free member. Fresh milk, cheese, ham and juice in the fridge was just the right amount and perfect to make a snack when we arrived. The host was so friendly and keen to help with anything we may need and their dog was super friendly and well behaved. The surrounding area was quiet with beautiful views. Instructions on how to find was spot on and easy to follow.

    Really nothing. No sitting room, but we made it work for us.

    Just loved the tiny door. We referred to it as our “hobbit house”. Delightful.

    cramped space fir clothes and eating breakfast together( 2 rooms). Tried to speak with staff / owners second day as water filter not working but could not get their attention after 2 separate attempts knocking their door.

    Lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds and good breakfast basket. In a village near Kilmartin- which had good interesting museum and cafe and hotel offering good pub food fir evening dining.

    If we had to find anything to comment on, we could have done with a larger litter bin and/or emptying the bin after first day, or instructions about recycling. Of course, the main reason we had more rubbish to dispose than expected was that the property was so brilliantly supplied with breakfast and snacks! :-)

    Excellent little property for the money, very good location.

    As others have said, finding it was a problem! We used Google and it missed by a few miles the first go round. (Google said it was on the main street of a town, but It’s actually in a small community of houses )

    They were very friendly, and great hosts! A lovely basket of breakfast choices and fruit was there when we entered. The small space is nicely divided and decorated in a charming way. The beds are comfortable. Don’t forget to duck when going through the hobbit door!

    The composting toilet is quite loud, especially for those in closest bedroom. No space for clothes or luggage storage - rooms are quite snug. A hallway between two bedrooms set with kettle and microwave is nice, but calling that with a little kitchen table in each room a "dining area" is a bit of a stretch.

    Very cute, clean and comfy beds. Spacious bathroom. Good host communications. Tasty breakfast items. Bread, Fruit, Cereal. Good place for our one night stay.

    Hard to find at first

    This was a quiet location near Kilmartin. It was a little difficult to find...but once we arrived, we appreciated the quiet location. We had taken a red eye flight into Glasgow and drove up to Kilmartin and this b&b for our first night of needed sleep. It's also not too far from where we wanted to take the ferry to Islay and on to Jura. The pub in Kilmartin is close by and had great food. The b&b offers continental style self serve breakfast foods which were perfect for our travels.
