    Bedroom directly off main reception/kitchen made privacy a bit tricky at times.

    The floorboards on the ground floor were a little squeaky, and that's the only issue we had with our stay. Definitely not a deal-breaker by any stretch of the imagination.

    The property is a very short walk from the train station, and as a bonus there are only a handful of trains a day so you won't notice this proximity beyond the ease of access. The location is gorgeous, and provides access to many wonderful walks of a variety of challenge levels. Loch Lomond is a very short walk away and is breathtaking at any time of year, and a boat launch for tours is very close by. The cabin's proximity to the Slanj pub is very handy, and the little shop next to it has a surprisingly large collection for purchase for its size. The property was clean, comfortable, and spacious. I would highly recommend this for up to six guests at a time, but any more than that and you'd likely be cramped.

    Beware and prepare for the midges Don’t open windows at night Use the new Fan that James brought.

    Great house, well equipped, however it was very hot the first night, until James arrived with a Fan. This improved things greatly.

    Cosy, well appointed and equipped and not far to travel from the central belt for a peaceful weekend of home comforts.

    A special gem right in beautiful setting. All home from home comforts, central heating , wifi etc and a superbly equipped kitchen. Beds were all so comfortable. Highly recommend. We travelled as a group of 5 middle aged women and we had the most relaxing chilled weekend.

    It would have been nice to be able to watch normal tv/news not just Netflix and Prime. When we visited it was autumn with dark and rainy evenings. Had it been summer or spring, we wouldnt even have switched the tv on.

    The cottage was very nice and comfortable. Very cosily furnished with plenty of room. Beds were comfortable. It was nice and clean. Had everything we needed. No trouble checking in or out. Nice terrace for drinks during long summer or spring evenings. The surroundings are beautiful, we went hiking and on a boat trip. Thinking of returning to the same cottage next year.

    A lovely little cottage in the heart of Tarbet very close to Loch Lomond. Highly recommended!

    Due to the remote location of the property, the mobile coverage was very poor in and around the immediate vicinity of the property. However, more annoyingly, the WiFi connection inside the property was very poor. The connection would go out regularly throughout the day and night. This would be a concern if you were intending to stay for business and needed a stable Internet connection. It did also make researching things to do and booking tickets for attractions a bit more challenging. The oven and trays when we arrived were very dirty and grimy. I did mention this to the host, who told me that he’d ask the cleaner to clean these, however, both the oven and trays were still grimy even after the fact. In the end, we cleaned the oven ourselves and used our own trays. Other than that, we didn’t have any issues with cleanliness at all.

    A lovely little compound of cottages in the heart of Arrochar & Tarbet, just a stone's throw away from Loch Lomond. The owner is a very pleasant host and owns all four of the properties in the compound. I found the property to be in very good keep and condition and the host is very helpful and always available on the phone to discuss any issues and even give general tourist advice. The property is very well catered for your stay. There was a range of amenities all provided at no extra cost, which was very nice to see and very helpful. For reference, if you’re intending to stay, here are the items in the property available for our use: Toilet roll Kitchen towel Washing up liquid Towels Handwash Tea, coffee, sugar Rubbish bags Cleaning products Kitchenware Laundry powder I would highly recommend that you have a car available for the duration of your stay as the property is in a location that isn’t very well served by public transport. Even though the Arrochar & Tarbet railway station is merely a 1 minute walk away, the station doesn’t appear to have many scheduled trains throughout the day and thus a car would be needed if you wanted to visit any of the tourist attractions in the Loch Lomond area. The scenery outside the property is beautiful as it looks onto the Ben Reoch mountain. Great for hikers and there is even a lovely hidden trail behind the railway station that takes you out towards Arrochar and Loch Long. The kind host and beautiful surroundings make this property a great location if you want to stay in a quieter part of Loch Lomond, away from the hustle and bustle of a town or village, whilst still being very accessible by car to Loch Lomond. All in all, a very enjoyable stay and highly recommended. Looking forward to returning in the future!

    If I was going to be nit picky I would say that the bin needs replacing as footpedal doesn't work on it.

    On arrival there was a welcome tray which incuded tea, just what is needed after a journey. The place was cosy, warm, clean and would defo return. The area is beautiful and quite central to most things. The owner and his assistant were both very friendly, full of information and welcoming.
