The cottage is entirely on the ground floor, with step free access and has a parking space at the front. The cosy front room has a wood-fired stove, TV/DVD player and CD. The kitchen diner has an electric oven and hob, microwave cooker, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. A small study provides a working area with internet access for the holiday-maker’s own laptop or tablet, and phone (incoming and emergency outgoing calls only).
One bedroom has twin beds which are normally placed together with a king-sized duvet over both. There is an option to request the beds to be separated with their own single duvets if required. The smaller bedroom has a standard size double bed. The bathroom has bath and over-bath electric shower. Heating is via storage heaters and wood burner.
Outside
The cottage is at the top of the village, and final access is via an un-metalled road - drivers are advised to take the road slowly and carefully. A secluded area in the back garden provides a seating area.
Cyclists may wish to know that the cottage is near to West Highland cycling routes passing through Kilmartin, and that there is a bike awning (out of sight from the front) where bikes can be locked.
A small public green immediately in front of the cottage provides an additional playing space for children.
Dogs are very welcome but because of free-range chickens and other livestock would need to be kept on a lead when in the outside vicinity and we would ask guests to note that the front garden is unenclosed, and that a small dog which is unsupervised might be able to get through the fencing/bushes which enclose the back garden. Guests may therefore wish to keep their dogs on a lead out in the garden.
