An excellent B&B with welcoming hosts. A beautiful quiet location but still within easy reach of Oban and other activities. We had a large comfy bed and amazing power shower in our room (Islay). The cooked breakfast was delicious and included local ingredients. We would definitely recommend it and hope to stay again. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The hosts could not have made us feel more welcome when we arrived. Darren and Karen are a wealth of information about places to go and see, locally and around Scotland. Our room was spotless and very comfortable. Quiet surroundings made our stay very peaceful. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. We will not hesitate to stay here again should we be visiting the area.

This is an excellent b&b in the country with views across the loch. Darren and Karen are very fine and friendly hosts. I am very happy to recommend if you want a rural stay about 30 minutes drive from Oban.

Unforgettable!

What a lovely place to stay! Darren and Karen are marvellous hosts, couldn't do enough to make our visit truly memorable. And the breakfasts were delicious, as well as superbly served. The view over the bay, and the local wildlife enjoying their breakfasts outside the window, added an extra charm ... Coupled to a superb restaurant at the hotel next door, not to mention the magnificent scenery and history of the area, we couldn't have found a more ideal place for a short holiday.

Fantastic hosts and great accommodation.

Had a most enjoyable stay at The Old Cottage with wonderful hosts Karen and Darren. Really comfy double bed & great shower. Had the benefit of a gorgeous roaring fire in spacious lounge area at night with lots of DVDs and a library of books about stuff to explore in the local area. Darren and Karen were such lovely people, warm , friendly and gave helpful tips about the locality. Breakfast was fabulous, tasty and varied. Would highly recommend this B&B and will definitely be back. Many thanks to Darren and Karen for an amazing break.

Lovely stay at Darren and Karen´s cottage

We had the most incredible stay at Darren and Karen's charming cottage in Scotland. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The cottage itself is a true gem, with its picturesque surroundings and cozy interior. It's evident that Darren and Karen have put a lot of love and care into every aspect of the cottage. The attention to detail is impeccable, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds and tasteful decor. The location is simply breathtaking, nestled amidst the stunning Scottish countryside. We enjoyed long walks in nature, taking in the beauty of the landscape, and exploring nearby attractions recommended by Darren and Karen. Furthermore, Darren and Karen were exceptional hosts, always available to assist us with anything we needed. Their local knowledge and recommendations made our trip even more memorable. We cannot recommend Darren and Karen's cottage enough. It's a true oasis of tranquility and a perfect retreat for anyone seeking a relaxing and unforgettable escape. We are already looking forward to returning to this magical place!"
