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.

8/10 Very good

Quiet place on the ocean. Initially finding the location was tricky. Only one for option for dinner is the hotel next door. (Pretty good food) other options are 30 minutes away in 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.

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.

You haven't traveled until you've stayed at a Bed & Breakfast in the countryside. 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.

Incredible value. The breathtaking views, beach access, & seclusion help create a stunning retreat, but Karen & Darren’s thoughtful touches separate this stay from all others. This was by far our favorite place to stay during our trip in Scotland!

Friendly hosts full of useful information about places to visit, pamphlets books etc. Right near to beach, saw red squirrel and rabbits outside while having breakfast. Lovely scrambled eggs and husband thoroughly enjoyed his fry up. Local unusual jams to try as well. Very comfortable. Introduced us to other guests which was a lovely touch.
