• "A beautifully presented and very comfortable cottage in a lovely location."

  It was the perfect base from which to explore the area. We were fortunate that the weather was kind so that we could enjoy the autumn colours. We were made extremely welcome by the owner and enjoyed meeting her.

  Plenty of wildlife on your doorstep, Golden Eagle anyone? The cottage itself has loads of information to rival a Tourist Information Centre. Jacinta is a world of knowledge. Would recommend.

• "What a wonderful cottage!"

  The location was superb, very peaceful. The wildlife on the doorstep was amazing, we had Pine Martens, Ravens, Buzzards, Deer, Whinchats, Common Whitethroat and lots of other species. The view was addictive. There were walks from the door around the local area. The cottage was very comfortable, and Jacinda kindly left some treats for us as a welcome, she was very friendly and visited a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. The location of the cottage was great as it is near to many places of interest, The Crinan Canal is just minutes away, the rock art is great to visit, we also went to Kilmartin Jail which is worth a visit and there is a great fish and chip restaurant in Kilmartin. A boat trip to the Corryvreckan is well worth a visit too, there were sea eagles to be seen. And the beavers at the beaver trail is a must and only a few minutes away from the cottage.

  Would suggest including guidance on the heating system - ie can be switched off when not needed (gentle hint to profligate renters!) The cottage was very cosy and comfortable even in the dreadful weather we experienced while there. A shame as it’s such a beautiful area. However, we can recommend Inveraray Jail as a place of retreat and if the rain stops, Crinan is a lovely spot.

• "This is a lovely holiday cottage which has everything you need for an enjoyable stay."

  Bring your own logs for the log burner and even in winter you can be nice and cosy. I suggested to the owner that draught excluders on the outside doors would benefit the cosiness. The chairs and the bed are comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked with crockery and cooking utensils. The cottage is on a farm and therefore quite remote. This provides a great setting with lovely paths and (single track) roads to walk along to admire the scenery. Even from the cottage windows there are open views across the countryside to distant hills and the sea. The beautiful Crinan Canal is only a few miles away and by driving a few more miles you can tour through the most beautiful countryside. There are hundreds (literally) of historic sites within a few miles - standing stones and cairns/barrow mounds in abundance. While were there, there was an electricity outage and Jacinta came round with a battery lantern and a bag of logs for the fire. Jacinta was also full of good ideas of places to go and interesting things to see. The only disappointing feature of our stay was a lack of instructions for things like the cooker, the heaters, the log burner, how to process the rubbish etc. Otherwise, it was all good and we had a great time.

• "Had a wonderful stay at Seaview."

  The cottage felt very welcoming on arrival, and the communication with owners was good, attentive but not intrusive. The cottage feels remote and isolated but is only a 10 minute drive from Lochgilphead. Cottage was warm and cosy despite wind and rain of first day of stay. There's a wood burner but I didn't need to light it. Great location for wildlife watching; walking; cycling; history and archaeology; from the doorstep, or a short drive away. I felt safe and comfortable travelling alone. Cottage would also be great for a couple, or up to 4 people.

  Whilst the weather was typically autumnal we still had easy access to Oban, Lochgilphead and Tarbert for days out and nice lunches. On the days we stayed on the farm we visited the beach, standing stones and the ruin of Poltalloch House; so loads to keep us busy and occupied.

  We enjoyed cycling, walking around the cottage and exploring the ancient stones and burial places at Kilmartin. We mooched around the bay and Crinan jetty and swam in turquoise sea from the islands reached from the 'secret beach'. We kayaked in the Crinan bay and from Tayvallich nearby. We caught a sight of the beavers at Loch Coille-Bharr and gazed at the stars in the dark skies, and enjoyed just sitting outside the cottage and watching the sparrows on the birdfeeder and the mist slowly rising at sunset. Our hosts were extremely helpful with advice tailored just for us. Highly recommended.

• ""Had a lovely stay at Seaview Cottage."

  If you are looking for a secluded location, look no further. The cottage is surrounded by breathtaking scenery and wildlife everywhere you look. Jacinta, the host, has gone to great lengths to ensure her guests are well informed with things to do and see, from the property description on this website to the selection of books and handwritten index cards found in the property on arrival. Having come from the hustle and bustle of Nottingham (relatively!) it was really quite bizarre the first time we stepped out of the car and heard pure silence. That in itself was an experience I won't forget. There are loads of nice, short walks right on the cottage's doorstep, and a whole country full of them if you are prepared to travel a little further afield. There is a very picturesque bay a short walk from the property, and when the tide is out you can walk across to an island. Sturdy walking boots would be essential! The cottage itself is really lovely, well furnished and very well equipped. I particularly enjoyed the log burner and appreciated that there was enough wood for one night when we arrived. More could be purchased from nearby Lochgilphead (10 min) or Oban (50 min). The cottage was kept cozy with electric central heating and there was always plenty of hot water available for washing ourselves or dishes. It was our first trip to Scotland and my wife and I are already itching to return, and we would stay here again without a moments hesitation. I just have one piece of feedback to the owner (or any other owners of remote properties), which is that finding the property on a map before we came was a real challenge and providing the "What 3 Words" address along with the postal address would have been a big help and avoided any doubt that after a long journey I'd arrive at a remote location and find it was the wrong house!"

It was nice to see the cows and calves doing their thing in the fields next door, quite a bit of birdlife, deer a frequent sight from the cottage also. Only a short drive away are numerous excellent walking and wildlife opportunities - with the beaver project and Taynish nature reserve among our favourites. For lunches - the café at Tayvallich came top of our list, with Kilmartin museum café not far behind, and the Smiddy Bistro in Lochgilphead a close 3rd. For dining out in the evening we would recommend the Seafood Bar at Crinan (excellent food and less formal than the Westward restaurant), and also the Inn at Tayvallich. Finally a thank you to our host, Jacinta, who was easily contactable if we needed anything, and left us in peace otherwise. We would happily return here for another week.

We saw deer grazing a few days and there were bats feeding at dusk. The farm dog was also very friendly! There are plenty of walks around the area and places to visit. We visited Crinan and did a fabulous woodland walk to a hilltop fort. Well worth the climb! The burial cairns and stone circles in Kilmartin were worth a visit too and walkable from the cottage.

The cottage is close to Crinan and Tayvallich both gorgeous places to visit with Oban approximately 50 minutes north. Plenty to do in the area if you love walking, wildlife and water sports. Obviously, island hopping is a must. The cottage has a secret beach where you can sit in silence to admire the view and watch the sheep - bliss! What stood out was the contact with the owners, over the years, in other cottages, we've normally been left to it but this time Jacinta checked in to make sure all was perfect and to pass on her knowledge of the local area. She made sure we had everything we needed. If you wish to visit Argyll then this is certainly the place to stay? We hope one day to return.

  The location is very remote, right by the sea and was the perfect place for us to get away from the busyness of life and enjoy some chill time. My husband and I stayed with our 1 year old and son and Jacinta was very accommodating of our little one; providing a highchair, cot, stairgate and baby cutlery/crockery. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean - the log burner was a very welcome treat after some chilly walks! Jacinta was really helpful in suggesting good walks and things to see in the area and the house is well stocked with lots of good books on local walks and historic sites. And also the odd book about cows! Staying on the farm was so nice for our little boy, being able to see cows from his window every morning! One day Iain and Jacinta were kind enough to give us a tour of the farm. We were able to see the sheep being fed, a new calf who had been born just the night before and Jacinta showed us some of the standing stones and other historic sites that are around the farm land. This was the perfect balance of spending time outdoors in the beautiful area and having some well deserved rest in a very comfortable and beautiful cottage. We would definitely go again!

  Jacinta is the best hostess, there is nothing to much trouble, to ensure your holiday is as you want it. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you would possibly need, if need be, Jacinta has the answer/knowledge to provide it. Yes had a brilliant time. Maggs & Paul

• "A lovely cottage."

  So peaceful. Only the birdsong to break the silence. Fairly remote.

• "The cottage was in a beautiful setting with views of the bay."

  Not only is it a great place to relax, it’s also very close to historical sites, wonderful wildlife, great restaurants and pubs. If you are looking for a quiet break to recharge the batteries and enjoy nature then this is the place to come. Breathtaking scenery.

• "Jacinta and Iain have created a true little treasure with their Seaview Cottage in the middle of nowhere."

  . or, rather, somewhere, because there is so much do discover in the peaceful surroundings - be it ancient stone circles inbetween mystic forests and hills (or the conserved footprint of young kings of forgotten times!) or multiple paths and trails close by. Within all this the cottage offers a cosy refugium after your outdoor days. The kitchen is excellently equipped and bunches of fresh herbs in front of the house complete the picture (and taste). Jacinta is always present and ready to help, so you will not miss a thing during your stay.
