The flat is very spacious, nicely decorated and clean. Kitchen is well-equipped, plus has amazing sea views over the Firth of Clyde and the ferry terminal, fascinating to watch. The milk, shortbread, fudge and coffee pods are a nice touch which made us feel welcome. The owner did his utmost to ensure we had everything we needed, and was very responsive. Car parking is fine, despite a notice in the nearby car park saying ‘no overnight parking’, it is possible to park overnight. It is in a very convenient location, with lots of attractions in nearby Dunoon and around. Overall, a wonderful base for touring the beautiful Cowal peninsula and Loch Lomond National Park.

When I initially looked at this property it said it was 8 miles from Helensburgh, As the crow flies this would be correct but the drive was c. 45 miles, less if you took the ferry but that comes with a c. 25 quid ferry charge.
It didn't bother me but it may have bothered others!
Accommodation OK but big draw back no clothes dryer! I have never stayed in a Vrbo without a clothes drier particularly on the Cowall peninsular!
Rooms got hot and would suggest a simple comforter for the summer months
Dustbins/trash at the front of the building would become 'high'
Trash cans at the bottom of the stairs presented problems
Finally and it didnt worry be was the lack of securty at the front door but it may be worrying to others
Neighbors delightful

We are sorry and very surprised to read your review, especially when we were in constant contact with you before and during your stay. The property has always received the highest scores and such positive feedback since opening. There was also no mention to us that your location was an issue for you. It is clear on the listing and in the arrival instructions where the property is located, in Dunoon. Visiting from abroad, expectations differ and we feel we did our very best to accommodate you especially when you wanted to stay extra nights. It is also clear there is an internal staircase with 19 steps to the upper apartment entrance. We are sorry there was no dryer available, but it does not state there is one in the listing features. We were disappointed you did not follow any of the house rules, especially on checkout.
Ideal!

This was just what we wanted: somewhere to stay a bit out from Dunoon Centre: preferably with a sea view. This property did just that in spades and was very well equipped, clean and with excellent service from the landlord. The price was good as well. If I was looking for somewhere convenient in the Dunoon area, I wouldn't hesitate to book this property.
Beneficial

Hi guys
Don't be put off by first appearance as once you're in the flat you will see that the whole place is comfortable, good quality furnishings and nicely decorated and well looked after.
We enjoyed our stay very much and our dog loved being able to run up and down the steps. Very quiet Residents.
Lovely view from kitchen window we were even lucky enough to watch the submarine sailing across the water.
fantastic

Enjoyed our short stay at Glen Oirig helped by gorgeous sunny weather and stunning scenery. The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything you might need. It’s a short car ride into Dunoon and we visited some lovely restaurants there and further afield. Would happily return and stay here.
