Photos and Description of this Argyll & Stirling holiday cottage Self-catering cottage, beautiful secluded coastal location, private beach

Whether you are looking to enjoy a traditional family seaside holiday or a romantic hideaway Laundry Cottage is an ideal choice for self-catering. Set in the grounds of Kilberry Castle, home of author Marion Campbell, this lovely cottage offers uninterrupted views of the Western Isles, its secluded woodland setting offering privacy and tranquility. The cottage sits in its own fenced garden on the edge of 15 acres of woodland which surround the castle, a short walk through the wood and across a field takes you to a lovely sandy beach where you can seal and dolphin watch, explore rock pools, fish or safely swim in the clear water. In spring the wood is carpeted in snowdrops and later bluebells, filled with birdsong and there is abundant wildlife. The area is steeped in history, ideal for walking, cycling and exploring and the winding road from Kilberry offers a scenic spectacle in either direction. Less than 1 mile away is the fabulous Kilberry Inn with top class food.

Lovely cottage in beautiful and peaceful setting,

eziz Glasgow
Review Submitted: August 27, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
- Lovely cottage set in beautiful grounds.
- Friendly owners live in the splendid-looking castle nearby.
- Great views towards sea and the islands.
- Wonderful walks along the coast.
- Nice to have an open log fire to come back to.
- Master bedroom wonderful, as is the newly-fitted kitchen and cosy sitting-room. And the sea-view from the upstairs toilet is a treat!
-Books (including those by the previously resident author) plus games are available for guests' use.

Highly recommended!
