Superb Stay5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - October 2023My brothers and I had a fantastic time at Cedar Cottage, the host Lill was delightful and nothing too much trouble.
The location is perfect for everything Loch Lomond National Park has to offer.
The rooms were all spotless and the conservatory was a real sun trap even in late September.
Lovely holiday4.8/5 Star Upfront Reviews - June 2023We had a very pleasant stay at Cedar Lodge. It was very clean and comfortable and a great base to explore the Cowal Peninsula. Our dog really enjoyed the spacious and secure back garden as well.
A peaceful haven5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - June 2023Cedar Cottage is situated in an idyllic setting. The cottage is very comfortable with excellent decor and well equipped. There were welcoming gifts on arrival which went down very well with the family. I would certainly recommend this cottage as holiday accommodation.
Christmas at Cedar
5/5 Upfront Reviews - December 2022
We stayed at Cedar Cottage over Christmas 2022. The weather was typically Scottish but the cottage was warm and cosy. It had everything we needed for a quiet, peaceful break.
The cottage is deceptively spacious and is located in a stunning part of the country. It has easy access to many country walks yet is only 10 mins from nearby Dunoon.
We have stayed in many cabins/lodges over the last few years and this is one of the best.
A special mention about the owner, Lil.
She left us a pesonalised Christmas card, wine, cheese, milk, chutney and oatcakes for our arrival and made us feel very welcome.
We look forward to a return visit.

5/5 Upfront Reviews - June 2022
Cottage was beautiful, very clean with every mod con and more. It is very spacious and the garden is very enclosed and safe. Lil who owns the cottage is lovely and there if needed (lives next door)for anything at all.
I would recommend this cottage to all- couples and families.
We would definitely return.
Great accommodation
4.8/5 Upfront Reviews - June 2022Had a recent short stay in Argyll and the accommodation at Cedar Cottage was lovely. Light, airey and spacious, with a great garden. Just needed a coat and shoe rack area really. The kitchen is well stocked. Lillian, the owner, was very friendly. You do need a car here - it is a distance to get to shops/food eateries. Perfect for those who like peace and quiet.

Beautiful spacious property with all the facilities guests need. Ample parking and lovely garden
Plenty of forest walks nearby but unfortunately need a car to reach them as main road too busy to walk along
Fantastic Cottage, home from home.
August 2021
What a fantastic place, Cedar Cottage is. I can absolutely recommend it. The place is kept meticulously clean, with all furnishings in excellent order. This has to be one, if not the best holiday accommodation we as a family we have stayed in, of which there has been many. Lil the owner who lives next door (separate detached house) was a very hospitable owner, excellent communication via email before our stay, introduced herself the second day and was available by phone had we needed her, we didn’t. But she didn’t intrude we still felt we had our privacy. She very generously left us gifts for our kids plus snacks, milk, butter and wine! Really above and beyond. Lil with prior agreement came in and changed the bedding after our first week, which I was very impressed by, as this is not the normal in Scotland!
The garden was a lovely peaceful, private space, I particularly liked the very comfortable sun lounger chairs as we had some gorgeous weather so it was lovely to sit out and enjoy it. The only thing I would change is the shower over the bath, my 6ft 4” son really struggled to fit under the shower, as it was fixed one, also those with mobility issues may struggle to step up into the bath. But these are just minor personal preferences. I found the decor nice and neutral and the furniture comfortable.
The area that Cedar Cottage is in is truly beautiful. We loved Puck’s Glen, Benmore Gardens and Inveraray. We particularly enjoyed having Sheila’s Diner just down the road, which was great for breakfasts. Next to it the garage that sold most items we needed. All in all we had a fantastic holiday.
Thank you Lil, we will definitely return.

Family break
We were looking for a cosy cottage with a good garden for the kids and dog and great local walks. With Cedar cottage that’s exactly what we got! The garden is amazing the kids played for hours. The cottage was lovely and comfortable. Lovely touches like wine and biscuits left by hosts. If staying here Pucks Glen is a must, lovely very scenic walk up a gorge with the most beautiful waterfalls. Local service stations is amazing, very well stocked with everything you could need, even a good selection of kids toys and activities. Botanic gardens are gorgeous and within walking distance too. We were sad to leave. Lovely family break thanks Lil
Excellent stay
Oct 2020
Last minute getaway and had lovely stay here after original accommodation cancelled - which turned out to be a bonus - close to the botanic gardens and 5 minutes from Dunoon.
Very comfortable and spacious - bigger than the photos show.
Excellent customer service. - especially when we got a puncture- very helpful in organising help
5 Star Upfront Review Sept 2020
Cedar Cottage is located around 5 miles north of Dunoon. The cottage provides excellent accommodation in a great setting. It is a very quiet and peaceful location with lovely gardens and ample parking and is ideally located for various ventures whether it be walking, fishing, driving or just relaxing. The Owner, Lil, makes every effort to ensure your stay is great and of course safe, in the current climate. I have nothing but praise for the entire set up. Well organised and managed. Highly recommended!

5 STAR review May 2019
What a fantastic experience this was, from start to finish. The owners, Lil and Jack are lovely people, and they bent every which way to make our stay a delight. The Lodge is much larger than expected, beautifully equipped and spotlessly maintained. It's set in its own grounds, which featured spectacular rhododendron blossoms when we arrived in late May. This is definitely a must for a return visit!

4.7/5 star upfront review April 2019
Great opportunity for a family holiday in a semi-rural environment. Easy access to Dunoon, Pucks Glen and Benmore. If we come back to Dunoon, this is definitely a place we will be considering again!
Cedar Cottage is a beautiful cottage set in a stunning location that is ideal for getting around.
5 star Upfront review March 2019
We stayed there for 3 nights in March and Cedar Cottage was absolutely perfect .Lil and Jack were so welcoming , friendly and helpful , you could not ask for better hosts . The cottage was spotless and so cosy and warm. It is very spacious with everything you could ever need . There was absolutely nothing that was not provided . The bed was so comfortable with excellent quality linen. It was so peaceful and private . The garden was excellent for our little dog and is enclosed. We walked to Pucks Glen in a few minutes , so it is in an ideal location. We had a great time there and would definitely go back again. Lil and Jack had left us a beautiful , handmade welcome gift which has pride of place in our home.
