Summary: Glenbranter Cottage is the perfect base to stay whilst exploring the Cowal Peninsula it's set within the Argyle National Park, with lovely forest and river walks, with fantastic and scenic waterfalls literally on the doorstep. The whole peninsula is within easy driving range, with too many scenic routes to list. The cottage is small but perfect for two, it is finished to a high standard and has everything you may need for your stay. The hosts were very helpful and polite, and I would not hesitate to recommend this location.

Summary: Alison and Mark, owners/hosts are amazing. Nothing was too much for them. I don't drive. Both offered to drive to the village to the shops if I needed anything. Their beautiful cottage had everything you need. An added bonus was a log burner, coal also provided. Bottle of prossecco as a welcome gift. Lovely surprise. The scenery is outstanding.. its a one bedroom rustic modern cottage. Also has heating installed. Instructions folder for all appliences and maps of the area and surrounding areas. All local amenities are alsovin the folder with emergency numbers too. There is a river which runs through just across from the cottage with use of their huge garde. Stunning forest trail set in a beautiful valley. Cant thank them enough for their hospitality. I highly recommend their beautiful cottage. Their house is next door which made me feel comfortable as I ravel on my own. Another added bonus is they except up to 2 pets too. I had my new cat and a friends dog with me..
