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.

Our hosts have done an immaculate job with their property. The room felt almost too perfect to use! Wonderful breakfast, beautiful library and sitting area at the centre of the house. Great attention to detail throughout. Walking distance to a good quality dinner restaurant and bar. Gardens and the sea also a short stroll away. All in all a memorable part of our vacation. ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew May 24, 2024 Wonderful greeting and welcoming from Darren and Karen. Perfect instructions, their local knowledge and enthusiasm and love for the area is limitless. The accommodation is superb, location is very central to some of the most historical and beautiful, silent areas.The choice of breakfast? ..I guarantee you wouldn’t get the choice of cereals, jam’s etc anywhere else.. (Karen puts other ‘full’ breakfasts to shame..). We will visit the west of Scotland again and unquestionably The Old Cottage will be on our stopover menu. ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Glasgow Emo](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Emo.h42563425.Hotel-Information) > - [Glenskirlie House & Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnybridge-Hotels-Glenskirlie-House-Castle.h13267169.Hotel-Information) > - [Dunalastair Hotel Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-Dunalastair-Hotel-Suites.h888815.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Manse](https://www.expedia.ca/Ardgay-Hotels-The-Old-Manse.h31952820.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ballinluig Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Ballinluig-Inn.h113444546.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbourside Apartment No 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Isle-Of-Mull-Hotels-Harbourside-Apartment-No-2.h106157685.Hotel-Information) > - [Leslie Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Insch-Hotels-Leslie-Castle.h22704599.Hotel-Information) > - [Kings Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Glasgow-Hotels-Kings-Park-Hotel.h574402.Hotel-Information) > - [The Murray Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Castle-Douglas-Hotels-The-Murray-Arms-Hotel.h22682976.Hotel-Information) > - [Douglas Park Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Dunoon-Hotels-Douglas-Park-Guest-House.h15060876.Hotel-Information) > - [Inchmarlo Golf Resort, Banchory Villa 26
