"Wonderful quiet (except for the roaring stags - it was the rutting season!"
) location. Very well equipped and spacious kitchen/diner. Very efficient heating, we turned half the storage heaters off. Dark skies at night with a billion stars.

"I lucked out with a beautiful weather week of sun !"
Acharacle is an area I know well and Rose Cottage is perfectly positioned to walk or cycle into the village and plitter around and about , over to the beach at Ardtoe for example or the secret beach at Newton . The village has public toilets , a children’s play park , a shop, a 24 hour garage, a hotel and 2 cafes . There is a boat that goes down Loch Shiel to Glenfinnan twice a week in season . Rose Cottage is spacious , with a new bathroom and a lovely well equipped kitchen .The garden is big and fully enclosed . Delightful ! Many thanks .

"Our second stay here."
Last time the weather was wonderful but this time it was awful! But the cottage and the area is still just as lovely. Lovely to see the deer come in the garden. Easy to get day trips to Mull and Skye from here too. If you intend to eat out, you should book in advance as there aren't many places to go in the evening. Strontian Hotel is lovely for food and has great views.

"Lovely, quiet and very well equipped cottage."
Great area to visit, lots of secluded beaches and other spots to visit. Garden was perfect for relaxing in.
-
"Lovely cottage, equipped with everything we needed and very clean and comfortable."
Location was great, lots of wildlife visiting the garden, including pine marten, badger and a variety of birds. Safe enclosed garden for our labrador to enjoy. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
-
"It is a beautiful cottage in a lovely location with friendly neighbours and locals."
Would definitely recommend and hope to return next year.

"We found Rose Cottage to be a lovely, comfortable, well equipped cottage."
It was easy to find and there were lots of places to visit and roads to explore. We enjoyed the view from the lounge window, seeing sheep, lambs and deer. There were plenty of birds around and we saw eagles on a number of days. Definitely a lovely place to spend a holiday.

"Rose cottage is such an ideal cottage to explore the wonderful scenery and wildlife of the Ardnamurchan peninsula."
Spacious, warm and clean, it more than met all of our requirements. I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again or recommend it to our friends. It is set in a nice quiet position with good views from the lounge of the towering hillside opposite and its early morning deer. Given my keen interest in wildlife the cottage gave me ready access to all of the varied subjects at Ardnamurchan. We actually ended up becoming quite nonplussed at seeing a golden eagle.

"This was our 3rd stay at Rose Cottage and found it as clean and warm as before."
We found the settees a little tired but that took nothing away from a very enjoyable stay. All helped by some lovely weather. We are looking forward to our next stay in September. Guy and Anne

"This was my first ever trip to the Scottish Highlands and after a lot of research of the arear we found Rose Cottage and stayed here for a Week in April 2024 & This was the Perfect Home away from Home for the week."
Upon Arrival to the cottage everything was spotlessly clean with everything that you needed and more. There was plenty of space around the cottage which I was not tripping over the friend. The views from the back of the property where amazing looking out to the mountains and the local wildlife. There was plenty to see and do in the local arear with plenty of amazing walks with some amazing views. We will definitely return to your cottage again in the future. Thank you.

"We had a fabulous holiday staying at Rose Cottage."
Spotlessly clean, with everything you needed in it. Was so cosy, sitting at night with the log burner on, reading. Great, secure garden for the dog. The area is amazing. Lots of fantastic walks, and we seen lots of wildlife. We will definitely return to your cottage again in the future. Thank you.

"Lovely cottage and so warm!"
Great facilities, had everything that we needed. Great location too. Was great to hear the stags rutting all around, such a magical sound. Thank you x

"Beautiful location, easy to find, clean, well equipped, loved the real fire and free fuel."
The Sofas are showing their age and pillows need replacing. Flowers were a nice touch. Highly recommended for wildlife and walking. The views from the lounge were outstanding. Wild life visits the garden.
-
"Our second visit with a third booked, New tv as recommended by other guests is much better."
Wildlife sightings made up for the poor weather but were used to poor weather ar times. We were warm and comfortable throughout. Only minor recommendation would be new pillows as they’re a bit flat but took nothing away from our enjoyment! Guy Anne and Jacqueline from N. Yorkshire

"Lovely relaxing place with a great outlook."
Everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Just need to be aware most of the A roads are single file. so takes a lot longer to get to your destination. We had a great time and so did our dogs.

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location."
Very well equipped with everything we needed.
-
"Beautiful and quiet setting with deer in the garden!"

"A lovely cottage in a beautiful area."
Having travelled and stayed all over the Highlands this was our first time on the Ardnamurchan Peninsular and it didn't disappoint. The cottage is well equipped and set in a peaceful location, regular visits from the local Red Deer and an abundance of garden birds. Secure garden with ample parking for the car. Only suggestion for the owners, as other guests have mentioned, would be a larger TV in the lounge. It's a large room and you're sat quite far away from the set so after a long day out it's difficult to enjoy any TV in the evenings.
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Rose Cottage and enjoyed the beautiful Ardnamurchan Peninsular with all the wonderful things to do there, the scenery and wild life. I have noted other guests comments and have bought a new TV. Property Owner

"The cottage was clean but the toilet seat was loose the tv was very poor ..."
The cottage was clean but the toilet seat was loose the tv was very poor reception most of the channels was blank some went down as we was watching them hot water only hot for a minute or two front steps need a hand rail back garden fence has two strands of barbed wire on it my dog jumped up and cut her paw on it and made it bleed not to bad thankfully
-
"TV far to small for the room and reception nearly non existent needs sky kitchen ..."
TV far to small for the room and reception nearly non existent needs sky kitchen needs a radio or tv bathroom needs updating toilet seat loose and washbason comes away from the wall also the garden needs a lot of attention very untidy and paths full of weeds sorry to complain but at these prices we expect everything to be A1
I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay at Rose Cottage. The bathroom is to be upgraded this winter. The gardener had been away for two weeks due to family comments. We do not have sky and found nothing wrong with the reception from the freesat box after you had left. Our guests find the TV perfectly adequate as they spend most of their time out exploring the local area. Property Owner

"A lovely spacious cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay."
Beautiful scenery and lots of places to visit.
-
"Perfect for biking walking and paddle boarding, well kept cottage with everything you need."
Good garden for dog as well.
-
"Exactly as it says on the tin."
An ideal base to see what the stunning area of Ardnamurchan has to offer. We found Rose Cottage clean, spacious and warm and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or use it again. We had deer yards away from the lounge window, golden eagle over the hillside and an osprey over the river below. The neighbours were extremely friendly but not obtrusive. It was the perfect place for us and was quiet and peaceful.
-
"First class property with fully equipped kitchen."
Very enjoyable stay and would recommend highly.
-
"Clean, comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a quiet row of houses near the river."
Plenty of walks right from the door or after a short drive. The storage heaters were more than adequate to keep the house warm in September. The owner was made aware that one of the two lounge ones needs fixing and was very helpful on the phone. There is a log-burning stove in the lounge in any case. Reliable wifi, maybe a little slower than city speeds, but fine for emails and browsing.
-
"Rose Cottage is a very comfortable cottage, beautifully clean with most facilities you could need for a holiday home."
The setting is lovely & the neighbours all very friendly & helpful. A nice garden & it is dog friendly & our Labrador loved his time at Rose Cottage too. Thank you.
-
"Just lovely and perfect if weather not so kind, great for dog and facilities very good compared to many other places."
Thank you
-
"We had a great time at Rose Cottage, deer in the garden each evening, eagles flying over the house, everything we needed in the cottage."
Loved it thanks
-
"We had the most peaceful stay at Rose Cottage."
It is very spacious, clean, and well laid out. It was an ideal base to explore the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, and the weather was kind too. Our dogs enjoyed the enclosed garden, and it was nice to see lots of wildlife out of the window. A very comfortable, away from it all cottage.
-
"We loved staying gat your cottage."
We had a wonderful time. Thank you.
-
"Had a wonderful week in this wee cottage in Feb 22."
Could not fault the cottage in any way and the wood burning fire was a great bonus. Views from the windows where amazing... from the numerous birds at the feeders, a passing red deer stag and the local sheep and gang of chickens to the Milky way at night.... magical. Dog friendly ... and Reilly loved it too. We had snow, gales and hail.... making cosying up in front of the fire even more welcome. Would highly recommend and hope to return next winter

"A superb cottage - very warm and spacious."
one of the best we have stayed in and was a delight to return to at the end of the day. A couple of small points - there is a notice by the sink saying £100 would be charged for any blockages - this could also be helped by the inclusion of a cheap sink drainer to prevent items being washed into the sink drain. The TV is getting on a bit and the lcd screen is past its sell by date and in a room as big as the living room a bigger tv would be better. Also both the sky and tv remotes did not function. The freesat was not working and even the contact person and her son could not get it to work so for the 2 weeks we were without that facility. Apart from that - the cottage was one we would be happy to use again as the overall comfort and the kitchen (and utensils) was of a very high standard. The roads are easily driven with care and by using the correct passing places and we did not once have any problems along the single track roads but people must be aware that it will take time to get to places as there are a lot of lochs in the way of any direct route :) The scenery, which is what we went for, was superb and the living room and main bedroom window gave a great view. Overall - a 9 out of 10 for the cottage
-
"Sounds a small point, we only had need use the wood burner twice - an axe would have helped , the logs were too bulky and so difficult to burn."
The property was really enjoyed with views of the deer visible on the hills behind
-
"Rose Cottage is well situated with everything you need for a very comfortable stay."
It was Very clean and well equipped, - a tumble drier would be most useful for occasions when the weather is inclement. We enjoyed our stay very much, thank you.
-
"The view from living room window, lovely hill side, was amazing and could be made more of in description."
Given travelling time /distance and late arrival often the case. With limited opening time of local shop, it would have been useful to have a few essentials supplied like bread and milk, tea etc. I suppose not able to fo because of Covid. Some great local walks from cottage and that could be made clear to guests. E. G at end of land onto Moor to mouth of Loch. Also across bog along track to Kentra Bay.
-
"We had a very nice stay at this cottage."
It is very quiet there. We were able to see deer, a pine marten and a golden eagle
-
"The cottage was spacious clean and well equipped."
The views out of the back of the cottage (living room) were lovely and the garden was bigger than we have had when staying in previous cottages. I think what people need to be aware of is how remote this is from tourist attractions in terms of time due to the single track roads. There are several good pubs which have a good menu and welcome dogs within 10-15 minutes drive.
-
"Very spacious cottage - with lots of facilities."
Clean and very good enclosed garden and lovely view out back. Only disappointment was although lots of dvd were provided there were not instructions for the dvd and it did not appear to be connected to anything.Some simple instructions would have been useful. Also shower rail was unstable and may need repairing. Overall had a wonderful time in this quiet and beautiful area. The local hotel served very good meals and dog friendly.
-
"Excellent area."
Tidy House with all amenities Good access to all local areas. Great walks all round
-
"All was great:)"
-
"If not using satnav (we had to go on to mapping app to find although admittedly we didn't look up beforehnd on OS map) the directions could be more clear as cottage is just outside Acharacle on a side road."
Unfortunately Covid19 meant that we saw a slightly cut down version of facilities, however we enjoyed the stay. Have used Sykes cottages before and with current conditions will be doing so again early next year.

"We really enjoyed it stay at Rose Cottage."
It is in a beautiful spot . Lots of wild life just on the doorstep. Lovely clean and comfortable cottage . Friendly and helpful neighbors. Would love to go back .
-
"Great views, very dog friendly, lovely neighbours, peaceful."
Cottage very spacious and well situated
-
"Rose Cottage was very fairly described and met our expectations for a budget cottage."
The beds were very comfortable and the log burner was well stocked and made the place very cosy. It is a lovely quiet spot with beautiful views of the mountains. However, in view of the pandemic I felt the cottage could have been cleaner. It clearly had only had a standard clean, not a deep clean - the TV remote controls, for example, were filthy and some of the plates were not as well washed as they could have been. Despite this it was a lovely week and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a cheaper, basic option.
