Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the cottage's cleanliness, with guests describing it as clean, well-maintained, and warm. No negative comments on cleanliness suggest a high standard is being met.
The location is celebrated for its beautiful views and peacefulness, although one review notes the proximity to a busy road. The scenic setting by Loch Fyne and the quiet atmosphere are major positives.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the beds very comfy and the cottage cosy. The presence of games and DVDs adds to the comfortable, homely feel.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped. However, one guest felt there was an excess of cushions and kitchen utensils, and some leftover food items, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.
Thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of welcome packs and personal touches. While gifts like bubbly are appreciated, it's important to note that such extras are subject to availability and are a gracious gesture rather than a guarantee.
About this property
Inveraray 8.5 miles. Set in the small village of Furnace, a settlement perched on the edge of the scenic waters of Loch Fyne, lies this charming, three-bedroom holiday home, Cherry Trees Cottage. Perfect for families, this tasteful property offers a wealth of appliances, stunning lake and countryside views, making a fantastic base for exploring nearby Inveraray and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. As you step into the property, you are greeted by a variety of well-presented living spaces, including a well-equipped, fully-fitted kitchen where the designated chef can prepare home-cooked meals to be enjoyed around the dining table or in the sitting room, complete with a Smart TV and atmospheric, crackling open fire. In the evenings, treat yourself to either a long, hot bath or a rejuvenating shower before retreating to one of three tastefully-decorated bedrooms, where you can unwind and refresh as you rest up for another fun-filled day. Watch the sunrise with your morning coffee in the serene front garden, where breath-taking views of Loch Fyne will transport you to state of tranquil bliss. If you can tear yourself away from your peaceful dwelling, take some time to acquaint yourself with your local surroundings by stocking up on essentials at the Furnace Village Store, or make the short car drive up to Inveraray, where you can spend time exploring the historic grounds of Inveraray Jail and The Inveraray Bell Tower, along with the awe-inspiring landmark of Inveraray Castle. The coastal hamlet of Cairndow is slightly further afield, but well worth your time, as visitors can stop by the scenic location of Days Beach or take a mindful walk, in nature, within the Ardkinglas Woodland Garden. All of this and much more are waiting to be enjoyed during a stay at Cherry Trees Cottage.
The Duke of Argyll founded Inveraray, the traditional county seat of Argyll, in 1745. It is situated next to the magnificently restored Inveraray Castle on Lake Fyne. The village was planned to house employees of the castle estate, a woollen mill, as well as fisherman working in the lucrative herring trade. Many of the properties in existence today have significant architectural value and are protected. The town now has a variety of stores, eateries, and cafes in addition to the castle and many other tourist attractions. The notorious Courthouse and Prison, a lightship turned floating museum. Attend the Highland Games or visit the magnificent National Trust Crarae Gardens. The hills surrounding Inveraray and the Cruachan Power Station, which is housed inside a mountain, offer excellent opportunities for hiking, biking, and fishing. Both Oban and Kilmartin, which has Neolithic stones, are pleasant drives. There are several attractions, all of which are surrounded by breathtaking surroundings.

It seemed very well equipped - even a picnic basket and, because it's Scotland, umbrellas! I think it would be a fabulous cottage for children: loads of games and dvds are provided and woods to play in at the back. But it is not suitable for dogs. There is nothing to stop a dog getting on to the very busy - and noisy - A83 which runs just below the cottage.
