On entering this beautiful cottage hang up your outdoor jackets, kick off your walking boots and leave the outside world behind. There is a handy utility room off the entrance hall and from here you will find yourself in an inviting open-plan living space that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas. The decor exudes warmth and comfort, creating a cosy atmosphere perfect for relaxation. The kitchen is well-equipped, providing everything you need for preparing delicious home-cooked meals while sipping on a glass of wine.

Beautiful cottage and the photographs do not do it justice. Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The only downside for us it is very remote and you have to travel quite a distance along single track roads to get anywhere. In saying that we had enjoyable days at Tarbert and Rothesay, both accessible by ferry.

Lovely cottage, carefully designed, equipped and decorated. Perfect if you like isolation. Walks along the shoreline are delightful. The setting is gorgeous . You can spend hours watching the local wildlife. We needed to acclimatise to the drive from the main road to the cottage- then we were fine!

I have been visiting Otter Estate for some time & it gets harder to leave each time. Shore Cottage is a new edition and it does not disappoint. This is my ideal retreat for when I need solitude. The cottage has comfort, style & I honestly feel no need to venture further afield. Its ideal location is tranquil, plenty walks, wildlife & the shore. ItsRead more hard not to lose all concept of time in this beautiful cottage, cosy by the wood burner or sitting out on the deck taking in the surroundings. Hide
