Cove Cottage is a two-bedroom holiday cottage in a secluded spot above Loch Caolisport on the Scottish west coast. Sleeping four, it suits couples, families and guests travelling with dogs who are looking for peace and space. The cottage sits on the private Ellary Estate and is reached via a narrow hill track, which gives it a real sense of separation without making it feel remote or difficult to reach. Everything is on one level, with an open-plan living area, open fire and a conservatory looking out across the loch. The garden leads straight onto the open hillside, with walking routes from the door, and fishing permits are available locally. This self-catering accommodation offers a calm, practical base for exploring Argyll’s coastline, lochs and wildlife.
