What a great place! Cape Gare is brilliantly located and set-up perfectly for 2 people to enjoy a very comfortable stay, plus some very thoughtful touches to make your visit even more enjoyable. The views are as good as the pictures indicate and there are great walks from the door. Rhu and Helensburgh has an excellent range of shops, bars and restaurants, but if you want to explore further-a-field, road access is good into the Highlands/City. Alternatively the train station is central, with parking easily available In the surrounding local streets. Our top visit was to Balloch Castle Country Park, about 9 miles away, beautiful location for walking, taking a boat ride or sitting on the shores of Loch Lomond. We had a wonderful stay at Cape Gare and hope to visit again. ...

We had a wonderful week at Cape Gare. The setting is lovely and we spent many hours just staring at the view. It was extremely peaceful and quiet. It is also very convenient for visiting local attractions such as Loch Lomond and Loch Katrine boat trips The cottage itself is very comfortable, spotlessly clean and has all modern facilities. The bed is truly super king and very comfortable and the bathroom has a roomy shower. The owner was welcoming and keen to make sure that we had everything we need. Greatly enjoyed it and hope to return soon...

The property was lovely as was the owner and the view is very special. The welcome pack was the best we’d ever had and we appreciated the dishwasher and washing machine tablets. The tumble dryer was an unexpected bonus.

My wife and I had a fantastic holiday. The cottage met our expectations. The main goal of the holiday was to go hiking. Despite the rain showers, we managed to do that successfully. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby. The visit to the Highland Games, which are held every first Saturday of June in Helensburg, was also enjoyable. We can therefore recommend the cottage....
