Beautiful cottage in a postcard setting. I had an amazing getaway staying here and I cannot wait to go back. Everything you need is at hand. Very clean and bed was super comfy. You will need a car however it’s more than worth it for the location. The beach (Machir Bay … white sands, blue ocean view and practically have it to yourself) and the Kilchoman distillery are within walking distance if you are able to do a good walk for 20 mins, otherwise 5 mins in the car. Adore adore adore everything about my stay.
