Gate Cottage is even more lovely than the pictures show - spacious and well decorated, and the setting is very peaceful, with a private side and back yard, and another grassy area across a quiet road that leads down to the rocky beach facing the Isle of Bute. The one thing to be aware of for visitors is that there's only a small (but very well stocked) market and a few restaurants, some only open at weekends, right in Kames, so you'll need to bring in most provisions from a supermarket in Dunoon, about a 45 minute drive away. But the kitchen is well equipped for cooking, and we were very happy to prepare dinner at home after exploring during the day. Overall, a beautiful place that we hope to return to!
