We had a wonderful stay at Cnoc Swain. What a beautiful location. This is the place to come if you want a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of life. It really does feel like you've just stepped back a few hundred years and standing at the door looking out you can really imagine what it would have been like to have lived there. Charlie met us on arrival and Dearbhaill left us a bread basket with some preserves and milk. A lovely touch and Charlie had the fire lit. The cottage was warm and inviting and the Bed very comfortable.

If you want to leave all the trappings of modern life behind, this is the location for you. As soon as you turn off the road onto the drive, wave goodbye to phone signal, there is no Wifi and no television. This was exactly what we wanted and I used the time to teach the other half Chess and there was a radio so we had music.

The closest civilisation is around a 10 minute drive and is 8K away, so too far to walk. Here you'll find supermarkets and some restaurants. So a car and a designated driver is a must. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a nice meal and lets not forget Conan, Charlie and Dearbhaill's dog who visited us each morning for cuddles and bacon.

We could not recommend Cnoc Swain more and look forward to our next visit.
