About this property

Luxury 5* 2 bed ensuite cottage, pet friendly, short walk to loch side

Fraser Cottage is one of the Dunmore Cottages on 120 acres of peace and tranquillity on the shores of West Loch Tarbert in South Knapdale, just seven miles from the fishing village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne.

The new owners purchased Dunmore House and Cottages in 2015/16 which sits on a beautiful estate with stunning views over West Loch Tarbert. They have an exciting vision for Dunmore over the coming years, which includes the full renovation of the self-catering cottages. Their aim is to create a fabulous destination on the West Coast of Scotland providing excellent facilities with a homely feel.

The good news is that they have already commenced the renovation of the cottages and the renovation of Fraser Cottage was completed in December 2018. Visit Scotland awarded the cottage 5 stars. Fraser Cottage is a luxury traditional 2 storey stone cottage. The Cottage comprises two ensuite bedrooms on the 1st floor with showers and underfloor warming in the en-suites. The master bedroom has a king size bed and the other bedroom two single beds. Downstairs the kitchen and dining area are fully equipped to the highest standard including dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine.

The living room has a wood burning stove to provide a lovely cosy feel and a 4k curved screen TV. Patio doors lead out onto the terrace (with table & chairs, gas BBQ and outdoor wood burning heater) and onwards into the garden area where you can catch the morning sun and watch, through the trees, the ferry sail by to the island of Islay several times a day.

The estate is named after the Bronze age fort which tops the spectacular cliffs above the house. These cliffs afford breathtaking views of the West Loch and out to the islands of Gigha and to Islay, famous for its whisky making.
Dunmore Cottages are a perfect vacation retreat either to relax by the open wood fires or enjoy the many outdoor activities that are available. Located on the shores of West Loch Tarbert, and only 7 miles from the picturesque fishing village of Tarbert, guests can enjoy the many hiking trails, and abundant wildlife, take a trip to the nearby Loch Stornoway sandy beach or further afield to the lovely 6 mile long Westport beach, sample the excellent area restaurants (the award winning Kilberry Inn is only 8 miles away), visit the inner Hebridean Islands of Islay and Jura, whisky tasting at the numerous distilleries, visit the historic Kilmartin Glen, walk the beautiful gardens on the Isle of Gigha or Brodick Castle on the Island of Arran.

Tarbert sports a 9-hole golf course. Horseback riding and fishing are also available locally.

Dunmore self catering cottages are very popular for family get togethers and are ideal for children with a large play area.

Dogs are welcome in Fraser Cottage. Ross Cottage is dog free. Please note in Fraser we will accept a maximum of one large/medium dog or two small dogs.

The cottages are available year round. Lettings are from Saturday to Saturday in June, July, August, September, Easter, Whit week, Christmas and New Year; minimum 5 nights in April, May and October; out with these minimum 4 night short breaks are available but always ask for availability by contacting Amanda either by message, email or telephone.
Prices are inclusive of accommodation, linens, cleaning, electricity and logs for the fire.

Idyllic
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was off the beaten track, well away from the crowds, which is our preference. Fraser Cottage is set is beautiful surrounds, with endless views. The perfect getaway from it all. The property is very tastefully decorated and very warm. There was no need for the log burner. The kitchen has all the equipment you would need and everything was spotless. Bedrooms are spacious and airy, with comfortable beds, thank God. We fully recommend a visit to Fraser Cottage. You’ll not be disappointed!

Fraser is a beautiful cottage, stylishly decorated and appointed and the perfect place to relax in wonderful peaceful grounds. Many lovely places to visit locally with a variety of possible routes to access the Kintyre peninsular makes Tarbert a great location for a holiday.

Perfect
The property is immaculate inside and out. I can't think of a single thing that was missing or was not top of the range. It's remote but not excessively so - as soon as you get used to the single track road you will be zipping into and out of Tarbert. And the big advantage of that is that your peace and quiet won't be disturbed by anything. The location is actually perfect - we went to Islay and Gigha for the day as well as the Mull of Kintyre. None of these trips had excessive driving times. And of course our dog loved the property, the gardens, and the walk to the nearby loch. The weather was pefect. Sunny and cloudless on two days. Can't promise that is normal for the location though, Finally you might be a bit concerned about the limited wi-fi. We are with EE and were able to run everything off mobile hot spots so did not even use it. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful accommodations and surrounding area. The cottages are perfectly appointed and very comfortable, supplied with everything you would possibly be. The kitchen was amazing and stocked well with utensils, cooking and serving ware. We enjoyed making many meals together. The ferry to Islay is a short drive away and we enjoyed our day of whiskey tours. You will need to book tickets in advance for your car as it books up quickly. Amanda made us aware of that early on but it was already booked for our planned tour. We parked at the port and rode over to Islay, then took the bus where we needed to go and it worked out fine. We were warmly welcomed by Amanda on arrival and there was a beautiful welcome basket with local goodies and a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us in the kitchen table, so nice! All in all a five star accommodation. The only negative was it is pretty remote. We had to leave a day early to make the drive back to the airport as we had an early flight (our fault). Communication with the owners and Amanda was very easy and they were very responsive. Highly recommend!

Lovely Cottage in a Great Location
Really enjoyed our relaxing stay in this beautiful cottage. The cottage is very well presented and a good location from which to explore the area. Lots of ferries nearby to travel to the islands and beautiful countryside on the doorstep for walks. Will definitely be back.
