  Ineffable. Some things cannot be expressed in words alone but I will try.

  Heaven. Loch Awe is truly magnificent and although I’ve stayed in the Highlands many times before I’ve never experienced it like this. We loved the remoteness, the stunning views from the living and bedroom windows, the wildlife that surrounds you wherever you roam, the many species of birds that peer through the window or bathe in the pools of rainwater on the garden chairs to the deer that dart across the road for a loch dip. The cottage felt like home and had everything you could possibly need and the owners on hand if you needed anything. It was a perfect week and my wife and I were very sad to leave. I don’t know why people complained about the water, location or the road. The water tasted better than our own in our home town (nasty chalky stuff), you can see the loch from the living room and the road leading to the cottage is not only well maintained it’s part of the experience - a slow snaking drive around the still loch waters and pines was another way to appreciate the areas beauty. I would wholeheartedly recommend Forester’s Cottage to anyone looking for a quiet slice of rural Highland life, and looking forward to returning one day.

  The first evening we were there, we saw a pine marten on the patio!

  Despite buying some peanuts to tempt it to come back we didn't see it again but lots of wee birds visited us instead. The cottage had everything we could possibly need with a vase of flowers as well as some "welcome" goodies to eat. Ian and Elspeth, our hosts, were friendly and helpful and gladly answered our many questions about the area. Just as long as you don't mind driving on quiet, single-track roads with ample passing places, this is an ideal spot for exploring a beautiful area which has a huge number of ancient pre-historic sites to visit. Good places for coffee and lunches too. Kilmartin Museum and restaurant, Loch Melfort hotel beside the National Trust garden at Arduaine and Tayvallich Inn are recommended. If you want to see cup and ring marked stones, wear boots or waterproof shoes and go to the further stone up the wee path beside Cairnbaan Hotel. Don't miss Dunadd hill. It's a short steep climb but the views are amazing. from Rosemary and Laura

  The cottage is in a really isolated area, linked to the region only by a very long and slow driving single track road, that doesn't allow comfortable access for visiting the region.

  The description of the cottage indicates private water supply, however this indication remains quite unclear for many people I think, so it was a surprise for us to see a yellow water to drink. Thanks for the bottles of mineral water provided ! You should indicate that mineral water could be necessary for people who might be disturbed by the color and taste of this private water supply. The cottage is quite comfortable but needs refurbishment in some points (floors in kitchen and bathroom, organisation of the living room leaving the table for eating in a blind corner, very old fashioned cooker in the kitchen. Eventually this cottage is too expensive regarding its situation and level of equipment/comfort. The arrival was very welcoming, because I had found the direct phone number of the person taking care of the cottage. However the abritel site leads to a phone number of sykes cottages, without anybody answering in case of problem. That should be fixed too.

  We had a wonderful holiday at this property.

  It's about half way down Loch Awe on a single track road which is no problem because there are plenty of passing places and the road is very well maintained - no pot holes. The scenery all around is out of this word - breathtaking. We love Scotland and this is an area we have never been to - so glad we did. Forester's has everything you could possibly need and is very clean and comfortable. Elspeth had left us some goodies and was so kind and helpful recommending lovely places to eat including the Smiddy at Lochgilphead. Had lovely meal there and took away some of their lovely cullen skink. Saw a red squirrel and a roe deer as well. Weather was very changeabe but this didn't stop us having a wonderful week

  I can honestly say I had the best time with my son and my Uncle.

  The home from home was just beautiful and charming and very clean. The beds wheat fantastic and the kitchen was wonderful. The view are breath taking and I really could of stayed a little longer. I loved every minute of our holiday and will be coming back again. Scotland treated us well and the cottage was everything I wanted. Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into making us feel welcomed and comfortable. Looking forward to coming back to the cottage again soon. I feel as if I have found a real gem. And definitely a place I can just decompress and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounded the cottage. All I can say is its views are utterly breath taking and the cottage is a real home from home.
