We had a lovely stay at Nursery Cottage. There were a couple of small issues when we arrived but the owners were very easy to get hold of and quick to resolve them. The location is a great spot from which to explore the woods on your doorstep, the botanical gardens and some day trips further afield (e.g. Inverary, local castles etc). We paddleboarded on the loch and enjoyed cosy evenings by the fire. The Wee Butcher down the road was a great place to get some local supplies.

A great location, close to forest walks and the town of Dunoon. The cottage was very comfortable. My only observation is the kitchen utensils need updating. Only 2 saucepans with only 1 lid that doesn't fit either pan. Tin opener is broken, and lack of serving spoon Recommend that the cottage owner invests in updated the kitchen ware.

Lovely location, lovely cottage and fantastic to watch all the birds on the feeders we filled. Bonus is watching the red squirrels every morning in the garden. Beds very comfy. Only down things for us is that place was so cold when we got there. Maybe radiators could be put on the afternoon of arrival in colder months. Also we have a dog ourselves ( not with us this time) but had dogs loose in front and back garden from walkers along the forest path at the front of the cottage.

We arrived in Scotland clueless about the weather conditions, however the owners were incredibly helpful and kept us updated. We were unable to get to cottage the first night because of the landslides, but made it through the next day. The cottage was lovely and very comfortable and in a beautiful setting The red squirrels and birds in the garden were really lovely to sit and watch, very greedy though Despite the difficult start, we had a wonderful time, and great walks on the doorstep Thank you again

This is a nice little bungalow with grounds in the woods. It's isolated from other properties and far enough from the road so as to not hear anything, could hardly hear the visiting cockerel near the duck pond. There are numerous attractions close by or you can use the cottage as a base to explore further. As others have commented, the fridge is a little small and the duvets are a little hot but that's no biggie. There is a garage with shop next to a diner a couple of miles towards Dunoon with many shops and attractions in Dunoon itself. EV charging is available in Dunoon - it's worth getting a RFID card from chargeplace Scotland to use this and other chargers in rural locations

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage had everything you needed for a short break. The location is nice and quiet and the garden would be great for summertime. I think the main radiators need bled, when you put the fire on they only heated up a little bit. I would definetly stay here again when the weather is a bit warmer.
