5 Star Review AirBnB - October 2024
We had the loveliest time at Darroch Beag. We will definitely return. The cottage was lovely and clean, very well equipped and perfect for our needs. Cosy fire for colder nights, it just had an overall cosy feel to the whole place. The location was spectacular, quiet and peaceful with very few neighbours. Our kids and dog loved the beach and we had many days out within an hours drive. Absolute gem of a place. 10 stars!

“What a wonderful setting for a cottage.  The cottage serves all the needs of the holidaymaker.  It was lovely to have dry weather too which allowed us to walk.  We would highly recommend the cottage and would most certainly make plans to return later in the year!”

Rustic & quirky cottage in pretty location with winding stairs & cosy log fire.

Oct 2020
With panelled ceilings, winding staircase & rustic feel - cottage has fab views & walks. We were warm & comfy despite accommodation suffering ‘end of season’ blues. Tip - take a peanut feeder to see wonderful birds, red squirrels etc. Great base to explore gorgeous Scotland in its spectacular Autumn glory.
