4.8/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - August 2022
We absolutely loved our stay at Glenbranter Cottage. The location is beautiful and there are lots of lovely woodland walks in the area. The cottage is very well appointed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The welcome bottle of prosecco was a nice surprise too! Mark and Alison were very helpful and gave us some good tips on things to do and places to eat. We would happily stay there again.
Quiet village location in beautiful valley close to Dunoon, Argyll. Sleeps 2, pet friendly
5 star VRBO Review - 20 June 2022
You know that the weather in Scotland can be very changeable and the midges hungry. When you arm yourself against both, you can have the holiday of a lifetime at Glenbranter Cottage! A beautiful place, great base for all kinds of activities in the area, magical nature (Puck's Glen!!!) peace, space, friendly people, delicious food (getting used to the opening hours / closing times of Tearooms and Inns and Restaurants), fantastic walks both for the adventurer and for the challenged hiker. Walking routes well and clearly signposted. We look back on a great holiday. Oh yes the house: cozy, quiet, clean, equipped with everything you need, good furniture and very friendly and helpful host / woman. Mark knows the area like the back of his hand; he grew up in and around Glenbranter. An absolute must.

Perfect for a quiet and secluded retreat. You can walk out of the cottage into the most beautiful woods. There are waterfalls and walks around the loch.
The cottage is small but very comfortable.
I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature.
We can’t wait to go again.
We had a great week!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Glenbranter Cottage; the cottage is very stylish, super comfortable and the kitchen is really well equipped. The location was perfect to explore the local area and was really peaceful. Alison and Mark's personal recommendations and advice were great, and it was lovely to meet them both. We would highly reccomend a stay here and would not hesitate to stay again.

Great cottage, perfect for two people, beautiful location
Aug 2021
We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get away to a secluded location in a beautiful forest. Small but clean cottage with everything you'd need (though note no washing machine, but that wasn't a problem for us). Good comms from the owners, well located for lots of lovely walks and swims on the Cowal peninsula. Thanks!
Great cottage in the forest
Oct 2020
Super cottage in the Argyll forest. Great walks from the door step, nice and quiet so the dog could be off the lead most of the time. The cottage was cosy with a log burning fire, though it was small, it was bigger than we expected from the photos. Great stay, would recommend.
Autumn break

Great relaxing weekend

Weekend Stay in Beautiful Argyll.
Charming little But n’ Ben! The location was a surprise and a wonderful one at that!! Right in the middle of the forestry walks and surrounded by nature. Beautiful.
The cottage was compact, cosy and had all we required. Peaceful and comfortable.
Our hosts Mark and Alison were welcoming and helpful and we both liked them very much. Would definitely return.
