OAK COTTAGE
At the end of your journey, park the car in the cobbled courtyard, open the wooden gate and step into Oak Cottage garden. The garden is a delightful, completely secluded south-facing suntrap. It has a lawned area and flower beds, garden furniture and a stone-built BBQ. There is also a large wooden earth-floored shed where bicycles or other equipment may be stored.
Enjoy a well earned cup of tea or glass of wine and listen to the bird song.
Oak Cottage, once the stables to the Knockendarroch Hotel was built circa 1880 as seen here on the gable wall.
As you climb the stairs to the cottage, the image of the old and varied roof tops open up with the hills beyond.
