Customer Reviews of Anchor Cottage, Crinan Harbour - Sleeps 6-8
1st comment: Really super house, great views, very comfortable. Just a small point but could of done with a welcome pack of milk, bread just a few essentials. May 2012.
2nd comment: Anchor Cottage is one of the highest standard self catering properties I have ever stayed in. The quality of the finish is superb and the equipment is all of a top order , especially the kitchen where no expense has been spared. The location right on the harbour front is superb, we used it as a base for a kayak fishing holiday and it was right next to the slipway , what more could we want. The utility room also comes in handy for this type of vacation as you have somewhere handy to put your wet clothing , suits, botts etc. Would definitely go back and is highly recommended to others. March 2012.
3rd comment: The location of this cottage cannot be surpassed. Comfortably furnished with everything you could want. This was our second visit - I’m sure we will be back again. Oct 2011.
