"We enjoyed our stay at Dunaivon."
There are some nice walks directly from the cottage such as: to Rhu point (at low tide), the Highlander's Way over the top to Hill House, along the seafront to Helensburgh, and up to the reservoirs. Up the same road there is a public footpath, at the top of which turning left you reach another footpath to connect with the rest of Rhu higher up. The only issue we had (with the plug in the washbasin) was fixed the next day.
Many thanks for your review. All the very best. Property Owner

Rhu is a welcoming village and historic parish resting on the east shore of the Gare Loch in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. The village became popular in the 19th century as a residence for wealthy Glasgow shipowners and merchants, with it now being a fantastic base for yachting, with a 235-berth marina and many yacht moorings on the sheltered loch, with the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club being here too. The village is home to a lovely local shop selling all the essentials as well as two charming pubs and a coffee shop, providing all you could need for a self-catered stay. Enjoy a scenic stroll in the Glenarn Gardens, a sheltered woodland garden overlooking the Gareloch, here you can expect to find an enticing Himalayan atmosphere, famed for its collection of rare and tender rhododendrons.
