A delightful stay in a lovely property in a great location. Secluded, remote enough for utter tranquility but 15mins from a shop/pub/coffee house..though would gladly be snowed in for a month with the right supplies.. :-). Hosts were friendly, honest and amazingly helpful, the farm cows a delight to watch, and the views West across to Jura/Scarba/Islay breathtaking. SO sad to leave, but definitely booking again.

We had a fantastic week at Aird stead cottage and don't think we've ever been anywhere with such stunning views. We sat out day and night to soak it all up as the dark skies were a spectacle too. Did some walking from the door but drove a short distance the other days. Facilities in the cottage were great and the bed was so comfy. The pub in Ardfern was super friendly

The cottage was really lovely in one of the best locations we have ever visited. The views over to Jura were stunning with fabulous sunsets & the best dark sky we have ever seen. The cottage was very comfortable & much larger than we had anticipated with the most comfortable bed. There is plenty to see in the area we just loved driving around & stopping for walking & photo opportunities.

As always a lovely place to stay, with stunning views across Scarba and Jura. Greeted with eggs, wine and cakes. Beautiful clean spacious accommodation and a very comfortable bed. The bath was superb and filled really quickly. Hosts were exceptionally helpful when we had car trouble.

Every detail has been thought of when furnishing and equipping this fantastic cottage. Luxury bedding, a brilliantly equipped kitchen, and a powerful shower are just a few of my favourites.

It's wonderful to listen to and watch all the farm animals. Lots of wild birds too. And those views—outstanding in each direction.

Thank you so much for all your hard work creating such an exquisite place, Alison and Malcolm.

I cannot recommend Aird Steading Cottage highly enough and will certainly be rebooking. A great place, well equipped and in a beautiful location. Exploring the Highlands by day and a cosy fire by night. What more could you want? The hosts were lovely and even provided welcome goodies! A cherry on a perfect cake!

Location is amazing so scenic and away from it all. The cottage was so cosy, relaxing and extremely well equipped absolutely everything had been thought of, the welcome goodies and lovely fresh flowers very much appreciated. We had relentless stormy weather but Boxing Day was joyful dry and sunny giving a glimps of how must be outside the winter months. Thoroughly enjoyed our time and would return no problem.

Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing was there, including some lovely extras like fresh eggs, homemade fruit bread, wine & flowers. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well decorated . Allison was prompt to communicate and an excellent host. The location was quiet, which we liked, easily accessible by car and the views were stunning. Would definitely recommend.

A wonderful spot for exploring this little peninsula but perhaps a tad remote if you wanted to see a lot more of Argyll.
We had hot dry weather all week and the cool house was a real plus. The comfortable bedroom needs a blackout blind unless you like being woken at 4 to 5am. The only other complaint might be the front door lock which was very stiff and we used the back door more than expected - a WD40 job ?
The online details played down that this is a working farm accessed up a slightly rough and dusty track. No real problem unless you had a low-suspension car. Sheep and cows quite close to the cottage and the Hebridean sheep were often noisy by day, interesting to watch, but all was quiet overnight. Friendly hosts always available if help/advice needed.
Well fitted-out but we felt it was nearing a refurb in a couple of areas. The kitchen for example was designed for very tall people ! The distant views of Mull and Jura were fabulous with passing yachts and the odd cruise ship adding interest.

Aird Steading cottage is very comfortable with everything you need and more for a self-catering holiday. Alison and Malcolm are very welcoming hosts and the setting is perfect; lovely views from every room, great walking from the door, interesting places to explore within easy distance, and stunning sunsets! We can’t wait to go back!

I chose the cottage for its location near wild coastlines and it worked out perfectly for me but I could imagine it would be a bit off the beaten track for some people.

Stayed in this immaculate comfortable cottage, warm and cosy, overlooking the beautiful Corryvreckan and the islands out to Mull and Islay. The cottage is next to a working farm with the wonderful sounds of cows, sheep and skylarks on the hill. Malcom and Alison were so kind and hospitable, pointing me in the right direction for walks and exploring. This is a beautiful bolt hole and very unspoilt. You will need good walking shoes as it can get muddy - but the views from the cottage and Craignish Point are simply spectacular. I’ll definitely be returning!

We really enjoyed our stay at Aird Steading! The cottage was warm and welcoming. We relaxed in the cosy front room with the log burner crackling away in the evenings, after some beautiful walks straight from the front door. The cottage is very well equipped and the huge bed is very comfortable indeed!
We would love to return one day!

A comfortable and cosy cottage set on a working farm. Uniquely positioned with views to the sea on both sides of the peninsular. Abundant wildlife and antics of the farm cattle to keep you entertained. A short drive, long walk or pleasant cycle to the local village of Ardfern 5 miles away. Here you will find Lucy's cafe serving excellent coffee and good tasting food. Also, the village shop, which is well stocked with the essential things you might need.

On arriving you will find a Welcome Pack. A comfortable king size bed awaits you after a long journey or busy day. Your hosts, Malcolm and Alison, will look after you with care and attention should you need their assistance.

The cottage is beautifully situated in a quiet corner of Argyll with beautiful views east and west. It is tastefully decorated, very comfortable and well equipped. The garden is a lovely spot from which to watch the fabulous sunsets. Being part of a working farm there are cattle and sheep for neighbours, so apart from the odd Moo or Baa it's a very peaceful spot. Alison and Malcolm are wonderful hosts, the farm fresh eggs, fruit loaf and wine are a lovely welcome when you arrive.

We arrived on Saturday the 23rd of July for seven nights. The cottage is in an excellent position to look out on to both Loch Craignish on the west, and the Sound of Jura, on the east, where we could just make out the Corryvreckan whirlpool. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with everything that we needed, and we made good use of it. The cottage has a bright, and warm, sitting room with wifi, log burner, and great views. The bed was so comfortable, there's a great shower, and a Jacuzzi bath.
The owners, Alison and Malcolm, are approachable, friendly, and helpful.
We had a very enjoyable week, great memories made, and would love to go back.

Aird Steading Cottage was the ideal place for a peaceful, relaxing break.
Views to die for, extremely comfortable bed, lots of hot water and plenty of room throughout the cottage.
Beautiful walks right from the door and everywhere so quiet and unspoilt.
Alison was very friendly and left eggs, wine and the most delicious fruit cake for us which kept us going on our days out.
Lots to see in this area. We went to Oban, Inverarie, Crinan Canal and a rib ride.
If I had to be picky, some of the appliances and fixtures were perhaps a bit tired but perfectly functional and certainly didn't affect our enjoyment of the place.
This cottage was definitely one of the best that we have stayed at.

A spacious and cosy cottage, with fabulous views from the windows and with a lovely welcome pack of wine, free range eggs and fruit loaf as an added touch. Excellent base for exploring the area, the nearby islands and for seeing wildlife.
Plenty of kitchen equipment although some tupperware type containers would have been helpful to use in the microwave and to store food in the fridge. And an ice cube tray for the G&T's please! Definitely somewhere we would return to.

An absolutely lovely cottage with all you need for a very comfortable stay. Alison and Malcolm were there if you needed them.
We have a sports car that is low to the ground and managed the land with no problems.
Wine, cake and fresh eggs on arrival
The village of Ardfern is 3 miles away, give Lucy’s a try for a lunch time treat.
Would I stay again? Absolutely yes.

We had a wonderful fortnight in this delightful cottage which is very comfortable, well-equipped and spacious. Alison & Malcolm are great hosts and we loved being on the farm in the spring and watching the newborn lambs and calves. The views from the cottage are stunning and we had incredible sunsets. Fine weather meant we could enjoy sitting out in the sun-trap at the back of the cottage too. A perfect break.

At The Steading there is a warm welcome with vases of fresh flowers, a complimentary bottle of wine, eggs off the farm, a homemade fruit loaf and smellies in the bathroom. You are assured a comfy stay surrounded by beauty and nature. Ideally situated for staying put and walking or getting in the car to explore further afield. A few miles away is Lucy’s cafe serving the best coffee and a local store selling all you need including local homemade delights.

It was a good base to visit numerous sites in the area and to start walks from.

A great location to get away for a week and relax in a very comfortable well equipped cottage. Beautiful scenery, great wildlife and walks from the door. A really nice touch were the fresh farm eggs, fruit loaf, wine and fresh flowers which are left to welcome you. A wonderfully warm and comfy cottage to come back to after day out exploring. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.

We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay at Aird Farm Steading Cottage. We loved the peace, quiet, views and being away from usual life. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and we were even provided with eggs, wine, fruit cake and fresh flowers on our arrival at the cottage. The large bed is very comfortable as is the jacuzzi bath. We didn't see Alison and Malcolm on arrival but were told by someone working on the farm to go and settle in. Later that evening we met them while enjoying a drink outside and taking in the views. They didn't intrude on our peace and quiet and were very interesting to talk to when we saw them. The cottage has views on both sides of the penisula and is situated on top of a hill three miles from the village. The village shop is fairly well stocked, enjoyed the ice-cream they sell and also enjoyed a meal at Lucy's cafe/restaurant. We left feeling a lot better than when we arrived having slept a lot and spent time walking and we do hope to re-visit. I would completely recommend staying at Aird Farm Steading Cottage.

Aird Farm cottage is a fantastic place to stay if you love the outdoors. It is very well appointed, has outstanding views and is very peaceful. The hosts, Alison & Malcolm were welcoming and friendly, as were the farm animals.
A great place to stay!

The perfect small holiday cottage for 2. Well equipped, comfortable and light. Wildlife galore, stunning views and sunsets. Walks straight from the door. Loved our bike rides to the village to sample the treats at Lucy's cafe. Alison , our hostess, was lovely and full of ideas where to walk and eat out. Thank you.

Had a wonderful week in Aird despite the weather. The package of fresh eggs, home made fruit cake, wine and fresh flowers got us off to a great start and made us feel welcome. Alison and Malcolm were available if we needed anything but kept to a safe distance otherwise.
Managed to do some great walks, from our front door, with stunning views always knowing we were returning to a warm and cosy cottage.
Facilities were more than adequate especially the well stocked kitchen. The bed was so comfortable it was no hardship to have a lie in and wait for the rain to stop.
A get away from it all break was what we wanted and this was exactly what we got.

Very comfortable, spacious and cosy place to shelter from Storm Denis.
Kitchen is wonderfully set out and equipped.
The bed is huge and very comfortable, with lovely bedding.
The log burner in the lounge is really great to settle down by in the evenings.
Malcolm and Alison also provided a bottle of wine, fresh eggs, flowers and a lovely fruit loaf too.

Even the log fire was ready made for us to light when we arrived, lights on and the house lovely and warm.

Great views towards Scaba & Jura.
The hotel and shop in Ardfern were really good too.

It's damn near perfect.

Property is in an epic location with respect to views. I was looking for a property away from it all and it certainly is that. Exceptionally clean when we arrived and house was toasty warm. Bed extremely comfortable. As there are no street lights night time is pitch black and quiet..perfect. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil you could imagine. Front room has a super wood fire burner which really keeps the room cosy and the views from the front room you catch yourself just staring at.
If you want to get away from it all, this will fit the bill. Within easy reach of Oban and Lochgilphead. Recommended for a week of isolation.

Very comfortable well equipped cottage, great location to get away for a week to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. A really nice touch were the fresh farm eggs, fruit loaf and a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival. Although the weather was wet and windy for part of the time we enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Aird Steading Cottage is located at the heart of a working farm with spectacular views. The cottage is well maintained and furnished, it was clean and comfortable with many extras to make it a home from home. On arrival we were absolutely delighted with everything. Alison had provided a freshly baked fruit loaf, a bottle of wine and fresh eggs from the farm. We will definitely be returning and have already recommended this place to family and friends.

We spent a week lodging at Aird farm steading. The cottage itself is generously proportioned for two people, very well equipped, clean, tidy and obviously well maintained. It was a wet week with a storm blowing in from the west and the cottage provided an excellent shelter from which to view some spectacular weather. Argyll, in general, is always a delight to visit and Aird proved to be an ideal base for our explorations of the local area.
The owners are generous and welcoming and work hard to provide a great holiday home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying in the well appointed and comfortable Aird Steading Cottage. The amazing views and remote location were just what we were after, and The Cottage didn't disappoint. We were particularly impressed with the well equipped kitchen, which we made full use of.

The efficient and effective central heating and hot water system never left us wanting, and the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher were all spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. The king size bed was extremely comfortable, and the super high quality bed linen made for some lovely decadent lie-ins!

The wine, homemade fruit loaf and fresh eggs waiting for us on arrival were a nice touch, and very much appreciated.

We had a wonderful week at Aird Steading Cottage and it was everything we expected and more. What a great place with natural beauty all around, islands, seascapes and farm animals, birds and fields. It was awesome. The cottage was all it said it would be and more... It was warm and cosy, everything we needed for self catering was available. The jacuzzi bath was fantastic.

There was a great welcome on arrival along with fresh farm eggs, a newly baked fruit loaf, flowers and wine!

We would definitely go back to enjoy the peace and being away from it all.

The cottage is a four mile drive, one way to the Ardfern Village shop.

Just spent a wonderful week at Arid Steading Cottage.
We needed to recharge and reboot and thats exactlly what we did.
The cottage was spotless and the facilities in the cottage were all first class, well deserving of the 5 star rating.
Alison & Malcam were the perfect hosts they made us feel very welcome and at home but at the same time giving us the space we needed.
The views from the cottage were wonderful and we were extremely lucky with the weather giving us some wonderful sunsets.
We would highly recomend this cottage and we will return back again.

AIrds Farm Steading cottage is in a lovely location, fabulous views of the sea either side. Cottage itself is very well appointed with great personal touches. Even enjoyed my daily duties of opening and closing the farm gates said we went out touring wider Argyll area. Great for some relaxing chill out days too.

We had a lovely week at Aird Steading Cottage. The cottage itself is absolutely lovely, with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The hosts, Malcolm & Alison could not be more helpful - even coming out at 10.00 at night to rescue a Tawny Owl trapped in a barn! The views (and especially the sunsets) from the cottage are outstanding.

Aird Steading Cottage was welcoming, warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It also had a very well equipped kitchen. It had everything you could wish for to feel like a home from home. The cottage is beautifully situated with views of the sea on both sides of the peninsula and of the hills and islands around. We enjoyed watching the cows, calves, sheep, lambs and horses nearby. Alison had left flowers, homemade cake, fresh eggs from her hens and a bottle of wine to welcome us. Thank you Alison and Malcolm for a great stay.

Felt at home straightaway. Warm and welcoming. Prominent position at end of Craignish Peninsula. Looks to sea lochs both sides. Wonderful sunsets behind Jura and Scarba. Silence apart from birds, sheep and cattle. Friendly farmers who look after the property close by.

We really enjoyed our stay, we were welcomed with homemade fruit loaf, fresh eggs from the hens on the farm(which were both delicious!)and a bottle of wine. The cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The view from the cottage is stunning and ever changing. The only downside is the road to get up to the cottage is very uneven and bumpy but this is just a small negative and we would highly recommend the cottage to everyone.

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting at the end of a peninsular with lochs to both sides as seen from the cottage windows or inviting garden. The cottage is spacious, perfectly equipped and wonderfully warm and cosy. Together with lovely hosts and an environment ripe for exploration and adventure Aird Steading presented us with a superb holiday.

From the moment you arrive at Aird Steading you are made very welcome and comfortable by Alison and Malcolm by their eye to detail. The cottage is very warm, clean and comfortable. There are welcome gifts including home made cake. Also eggs from the farm chickens. Helpful folders of 'things to do and see' in the area. If wanted, you can always ask for advice on the locality, for example, routes to walk. The scenery is stunning. Sea and lochs to either side. Wonderful sunsets. There are beautiful gardens to visit and Kilmartin has a host of prehistoric sites. Magic.
