Loch Lomond Finnich Cottages

Two night stay. Cottage and location to die for - middle if nowhere kind of peaceful. 3 stars for the cottage. HOWEVER - they're good at taking your money but not so hot reimbursing the 'Good Housekeeping' deposit. In fact, only the threat of card issuer dispute and legal action prompted them to stop ignoring us! 0 stars for the Owners! In a competitive market, little things leave a sour taste. There are many accommodations in the area who'd be more deserving of your patronage. We can excuse an off day, but to wilfully ignore a customer, over a prolonged period, is just inexcusable. Anyway - didn't spoil our holiday one bit.

After a bit of uncertainty about the hot-tub due to *********** not being clear that Rowan Cottage has no tub, Marcin came to our door and found an amicable solution which we were happy with. Lovely location and very quiet. Far away from any main roads so no traffic noise. Good location right on the doorstep to the Highlands with lots to do just a short drive away. Clean and comfortable. Hot-tubs are log fired so need to be started 2.5hrs before you want to jump in and top up with wood every 30mins once started to heat the water sufficiently. Once hit then no more wood required. Then the smoke can be bothersome depending on wind direction. If you don't mind that then enjoy. First time we had to ***** the bed and bag all laundry before departure. At the price we would have assumed this was a gratuity having stayed at many other similar places through the years.

So - you want a brilliant escape? Far from the crowds and tourists BUT you still want to be close enough for good spots, walks, restaurants, and scenery???? Then this is the spot, beautiful countryside. A real escape. Quiet and free. We simply loved it. The cottages are finished to a high level and have everything you need. The beds were so comfortable. The courtyard is clean and fresh and inviting. Martin received us with warmth and a sincere invitation to speak to him about our every need. Our dog loved the freedom and wide open spaces. It would be suitable for couples or families or small private groups of friends in the different rooms. The lounge with mini soccer, billiards, and table tennis just add to the "everything you need" offer. The hot tubs looked brilliant and well-arranged but we did not get the chance to use them - next time - as there certainly will be a next time.

Beautiful location and great pre-arrival communication. The property was very clean upon arrival, but might have benefited from some high up dusting around the lights. Quiet and peaceful, it was the ideal location for a hybrid work trip/ holiday. Two small comments - the property would benefit from a full length mirror in the bedroom perhaps, and with the only real storage space for food being a very deep windowsill in the kitchen and me being very short, I spent my days climbing up and down off a chair to reach things i needed.
