Cottage On Pier, Holy Loch Shore, Sea And Mountain Views, listed building 1830

Post Office House is an unusual 'B' listed building, offering comfortable accommodation with a 'wow' factor on the western boundary of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Well positioned for enjoying the Park (walking, biking, forests,mountains, lochs), exploring Argyll (castles, beaches, islands, history) and days out to Glasgow (culture, shops, museums, food.
Perhaps you need a break from all this activity, put your feet up, with a good book, and relax in front of the wood burning stove. Enjoy the views of the Holy Loch, watch out for otters.
It's an open plan house, sleeps two in a double bed, plus the option of a third person in a folding single bed (bedding provided), to be set up where you wish. If you are two but don't share a bed, just ask for the single bed to be provided.

Unique
This was my second visit and it did not disappoint. The cottage has great character as well as great views.It's cosy as well as spacious, preventing two adults and 2 dogs from falling over each other. Summer or winter, rain or shine, this is a home from home.

Extraordinary
We spent a very relaxing week in sunny weather in this beautiful little house. Very suitable for excursions into the surrounding area, including public transport (the bus leaves once an hour). Or to make yourself cosy in front of the fireplace when it rains.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful property
Very comfortable and enjoyable stay in a great area of Argyle. Michael was a great host, and having made sure we were comfortably settled left us to enjoy the peace and tranquility that this part of the world offers. Saw the otter at the end of the pier on our first day and loved watching the Oyster Catchers at work on the beach. We will definitely be back.

Cosy cottage with amazing views
We loved our stay here. Its close to many lovely walks and there are fantastic views from the cottage windows right across the loch. Enjoyed the many different visiting sea birds and took many photos. We had our dog with us, and although the cottage doesnt have and enclosed outdoor space it wasnt a problem. We could take her along the pathway at the side of the cottge and we could let her off the lead onto the small beach. Kilmun is very picturesque, we would most certainly return. moscrreturn.return.

Nice location
The cottage was lovely, clean, but your online description said there was a hot tub, and BBQ area, there wasn’t, this was for my wife’s birthday, so nice cottage, but spoilt without hot tub and BBQ

Home From Home On Holy Lock!
Fantastic little place in a fantastic location. We had a great five day stay, as a couple with two dogs, the property was equipped with everything we needed, including a cosy log burner and panoramic views across the lock. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again next time we're in the area.
