Stayed the week here with family and friends, couldn't have enjoyed our stay any more. The location and stunning views were just beautiful. All the facilities in the house were faultless. We will deffo recommend in the future :)
My stay at Fyne Rooms was perfect, comfortable, clean, stylish rooms in a great location in the centre of Tighnabruaich village. Could not ask for more, we will be back!
We had the most relaxing stay at Coorie Braw, so many Lovey touches, Rae and Justin have thought about everything, beds very super comfortable and the place was spotless!! Would highly recommend this place, we will definitely be returning.
This was our second stay at this lovely cottage as it is very convenient for our needs. The welcome pack was great and the cottage has everything we need. A very comfy stay!
An excellent, cosy cabin to escape from the world, yet located in an area with so much to do. The host was super easy to contact, communicate with and provided limitless help and information. The hot shower and comfy beds topped it off. Cannot recommend enough.
We stayed at Fyne Rooms while walking the Loch Lomond and Cowal Way. The location was excellent and the room was very comfortable and clean. Our host was very friendly and we had everything we needed!
,best place we have stopped in Scotland, fantastic views,deer in the garden (just like being in snow white film ) people in village so welcoming, cleanliness second to none ,so comfy, you should be pride of yourselves for such an outstanding place... really good holiday,so relaxing.. thank you
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment! Great communication and we are looking forward to our next stay!!
Excellent house, which was used as a base to explore the area. We had very good weather more or less when we were there (mid-May 23 for a week), which helps. Not many midges about! The house was clean and comfortable with large kitchen area and dining area with two of all major white goods (two ovens, fridges, microwaves etc.). Red squirrel watched us each breakfast most mornings. Three (very) large bedrooms upstairs with en-suites, which we used (we were a party of three couples). One bedroom downstairs with separate bathroom and I believe the house can accommodate up to ten. The v...more
We are returning customers in Dunoon, as we periodically work in the area. The accommodation is well equipped with all you need when you are away from home. Nice place to have a good rest and to explore the beautiful natural surroundings.
Had a wonderful stay here.Lovely family house which has everything you need and more.We had a 10 month old baby with us and it was perfect for him too .Host was very helpful .Totally recommend it .
Me and four friends stayed at Raj’s awesome Fyne Rooms as a night stop over on our five ferries cycle weekend. Arrived late and soaked - the lovely rooms were a Godsend! Also, Raj lent us the use of small shed to lock our bikes up. Also despite being fully booked up & really busy, Raj and his lovely team Nathan & Tabby(?) cooked us some really tasty pakora and nan wraps. I would not hesitate recommending. Thank you guys, Tony
Seal point cottage is exactly as good as it looks. The cabin is stunning. Cosy but not cramped. The location was a little hard to get to but only because it's a single track road. The host was great at guiding us and directions given were spot on. It might be a little difficult if arriving for the first time in the dark but the reward is in the views. We were greeted with a warm welcome and wine and cookies. Perfect. Louisa gave us a little tour and explained how things worked. The coffee machine at the time was a Tassimo for people wanting to bring any pods but there were plenty provided....more
We spent the most peaceful 5 days here. Best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced in a number of years of self catering accommodation. Loved the setting. We would love to return. Thank you ☺️
The accommodation is quirky, bright, comfortable and well equipped with fabulous views over the Firth of Clyde. We were able to sit out on the balcony on occasions despite having damp weather overall and I can imagine that being able to do that in a warm summer must be glorious. We found it to be a perfect base to explore the area. Kelburn Castle and estate is beautiful, we went via Glasgow on the train & subway to Govan to visit Fairfield Heritage Centre and went on the ferries to explore further afield. Sadly we didn't see the dolphins although there was a lot of activity in the area, but ...more
We enjoyed our stay, apartment had everything that we needed. Very clean and comfortable, beautifully decorated. Location perfect.
Beautiful & magical property. Stunning views of sweeping loch & mountains - even far prettier, in reality, than the photos do it justice. So relaxing just to sit and watch all the bird & animal life before you. Very modern, stylish, open plan living area , with a kitchen & utility room fully equipmed & short of nothing. Walking distance to the local post office / shop & to the Creggins Inn Pub & Hotel. In a prime area either just to sit & relax or to venture out on numerous day trips to Loch Lomond / Inverary & Castle / Majestic Glencoe Valley / Oban / Argyll Coast - we were there 10 days &...more
At Pedals and Paddles the all rooms are spacious, well serviced and very comfortable and the view is fabulous. The community is very welcoming - the shop, the hotel and the pub along with people coming and going. Easy parking and regular ferries if coming from the South or East, Easy cycling for miles both left and right and more challenging nearby. Kayaking and sailing are very popular all around the peninsula, lochs and firth. The bus service is regular and runs early to late. A very comfortable place to stay and much to do, visit and enjoy.
We decided to have a change from a caravan and this cabin suited us just fine. Very nice owners and a lovely box of goodies plus milk and bread to get us going. Nice quiet place for a good nights sleep not too far away from the main restaurant and the bingo would definitely come back.
We had another wonderful stay at Craignethan! The cottage has everything you would need & the views are outstanding even the very changeable Scottish weather looks great when you are nice & cosy in the living area. We would highly recommend & will definitely be back
When we arrived our whole family was impressed by the cleanliness and spec of the flat. From the lounge furniture, to the beds, towels, shower, bathroom, crockery, plates and everything in between we couldn’t have found better or fault anything in the flat. Everything in the flat felt brand new so we could see and apple the owners had done everything in their power to make this flat so comfortable, clean, accessible and enjoyable for us their guests. The only downside to the property - which we feel may just be out of the flat owners control - was the close entrance hallway. The front door ...more
A lovely cottage in which no expense was spared by the owners, situated by the banks of the Canal, so close to passing yachts etc that verbal communication was possible. The amount of traffic in the canal was impressive and my partner and I spent many hours sitting outside in the garden enjoying watching all that was going on. Walks on the canal pathway were our daily exercise and highly recommended. We slept in the bedroom overlooking the canal and the bed was “brilliant”, so cosy and comfortable. The downside of staying in a semi remote location is mobile phone reception is poor and tv r...more
Freeland Cottage is a beautiful home, loads of space and so warm and comfortable, everything you could possibly need is provided and the owners are extremely helpful and easily contactable, it snowed while we were there and they even brought us a bag of rock salt for the path without being asked We wouldnt hesitate to stay here again, the location is perfect for everything in and around Dunoon and the area is spectacular, lanscape and views to die for!
Well. What can we say? Aldersyde was such a wonderful home away from home. We walked in to a warm and cosy house. It didn't have that holiday let feel. You felt you were being welcomed into a home. The house was clean and tidy, had everything we needed for a comfortable 2 week stay. The beds were really comfortable with lovely bed linen, plenty of loo roll which is a rarity in holiday lets and ample cleaning products for the two weeks. Lovely, well appointed bathrooms. The pool room was great for the teenagers. The games room entertained on the odd soggy morning. The location was perfect, n...more
Findhorn was well equipped, bar no tea towels , in an excellent location & we all enjoyed our stay . The drive entrance was very tight & could do with widening. The notes in the apartment highlighted this and we parked over the road after the first day. Loved the area and definitely worth a visit
Heronlea cottage is located in a wildlife rich location with Red Deer seen every day. The cottage is comfortable with upside down living which gives lovely views over the garden, fields and woods. There is a need in some areas of the cottage for some updating. The Dunoon area has some lovely pubs with good food, the Isle of Bute can be visited via a ferry within 40 minutes. Benmore Botanical Garden is well worth a visit.
Huge house - which was modern clean and very comfortable Good Location Great that it’s fully accessible
Very well equipped. Layout not so great for kids. Comfortable with lovely outlook. Good fittings and furnishings.
Lovely property with superb views and location. We were blessed with great weather during our stay which certainly helped. Hosts were lovely people
What a lovely place to stay, so close to all places of interest. Great garden for dog, orangery was a lovely space. The whole bungalow was well set out, clean and warm. Lil was brilliant. Just being so close to the hills, seeing the mist in the morning hanging low. The weather wasn't so great when we stayed, but it didn't matter. Had a relaxing stay.
Excellent location for visiting many places of interest eg.Crinan canal, Kilmartin museum, Dunadd, rock art. House is well equipped, spotlessly clean, warm with comfortable bed and superb views.
We stayed in the Bute room at Fyne Rooms and loved it. The room was comfy, clean and in the perfect location. Raj and his wife Anita were thoughtful hosts and we hope to return someday. Highly recommended!
Easy to find, very well equipped, tastefully decorated, and very warm and comfortable. Creation of a front outdoor seating area a good addition.
Lovely place to stay. Well-equipped and comfortable. Great location and perfect for walking. Many thanks
We (2 families) stayed a week in this really nice and cozy accomodation. We found everything we needed, the kitchen was really well equipped, the 3 bathroomes were new and very nice. The furnishings of the rooms are really great, we really felt at home in this house. The surrounding is exceptional and nice quite and every day we enjoyed the view to the ocean. There was a small problem with the shower at the start, but the caretaker took immediately care of it. We would come back any Time.
Lovely lodge ,beautiful views, peaceful home from home .has everything you need ,looking forward to go back again soon
We had a wonderful.stay at The Old Store.... The location was stunning and the history behind the house made it all the more beautiful. My 12 year old son and our dog Reggie went on loads of short trips driving around in our VW Van Betsy to discover Old forests, castles and secluded beaches and a wonderfully sea trip to spot Eagles and much more. What a wonderful part of the world the Argyll coastline is. Cairnbann House is the ideal place and location to explore all of this part of Scotlands Glory.
Our parents live in Lochgilphead so it’s the ideal place to stay. It’s our second visit this year! It’s been said many times, but Kiln really is a home from home. The attention to detail is exceptional. From the furniture, soft furnishings, the beds and bedding. Everything has been chosen with comfort in mind. It also has one of the best equipped kitchens I’ve ever encountered in a rental property. Even your pets are catered for! We just love it and will stay whenever we visit again. I should also mention Christine is a marvellous host.
Lovely well appointed apartment. Great walking from the front door - minutes from the Crinan Canal. Lovely shops nearby. Amazing views from the flat.
Ard Darach is a fantastic holiday lodge, the owners are great to deal with and our stay was perfect. The huge living room window gave us hours of fun watching the birds and Red Squirrels feed and play all day. The lodge is well laid out, comfortable and spotless. It feels more like a home than a holiday let. The site is quiet, feels secluded, but is a quick drive to the shops. We will go back, for sure. Our dog loved the stay as well.
We travel to the Cairnbaan area frequently but this was the first trip to Shelburne. We usually stay in separate accommodation but chose Shelburne to stay together. A delightfully quirky property that is well equipped and designed for a few families to stay together and make many happy memories. We will most certainly be returning! The local area has many hidden gems, forestry walks, trips to the Islands, decent restaurants to name but a few.
Booked Kames View through Argyll Self Catering Holidays. ASCH page is easily understood and has very good information on all properties, making choice easy. We have family nearby so knew the area, making the choice that much easier. Communication was good throughout. Kames View was right on the front, with view across the Kyles of Bute to Bute and also along the coast to Tighnabruaich. Self catering, but in easy to reach was the Kames Hotel; Tide and Thyme; Station Cafe and Takeaway - and the Kames Stores shop which is open every day (and where we got some supplies on arrival, including mil...more
This was our second visit to Nursery cottage, unfortunately the weather was very similar to our previous visit in December (except the rain was warmer this time). As before, the cottage was very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need for a peaceful stay. This time we were entertained daily by a red squirrel raiding the bird feeder. It's the perfect place to chill out. We will definitely visit again.
We had the most amazing weekend stay. Although the weather was beautiful, if it had not been we woukd have happily have not left the property, the views and the location is stunning. It's so peaceful and equipped with everything needed, TV, books, games, great kitchen and warm enough with option of log burners which we didn't need because we were so lucky with the weather. Beds are super comfy. Maybe needs a wee paint touch up here and there, but that does not detract from everything else on offer. We ate at Kames Hotel, the selection and food was delicious.
Arthur’s Seat gave us everything we wanted! Yes, the steps up are steep but adds to the charm of the cottage and rewarded with the most spectacular view when you reach the cottage. Perfect for 2 and great location. Cottage has everything you need for a comfortable home from home stay. Communication with the owners was easy and friendly. We fell in love with the area and the added bonus of how friendly the people are. Looking to return later in the year and eventually move permanently! We’re looking to move to Kintyre but South Cowal has completely won us over. Turns out my mother went to schoo...more
Property was clean, homely and welcoming, if a little tired in places. The location is perfect for relaxation, with spectacular views over the Clyde from the front windows. Shower was amazing, and the kitchen was very well-equipped for a holiday let. I didn't find any of the furniture particularly comfortable, but I guess that's just personal preference (eg. the bed was WAY softer than I'm used to). The communication from the owner was generally good, and there were some nice touches on arrival, with staples like bread, milk, eggs and butter being provided, along with some biscuits and pres...more
Me and my partner and dog stayed here for 4 nights as always had a lovely and peaceful time amber lodge is just amazing we know have been 4 years in a row now and look forward to our return thank you Joyce
Kames and the property are ideal for cycling and kayaking. Views from inside are limited but outside chairs are comfortable. Limited storage and small fridge but clean and comfortable with lots of great eating places not far away.
Hi dish washer broken No keys for gun safe No toiletries in bath rooms Very little loo roll and told to buy our own No dishwasher tablets or washing machine powder Logs poor quality and not many Just little things let it down
This property is advertised with private parking but there isn't any. You need to park out of sight on the street and access the property down an alleyway and across a neighbours yard, which is littered with debris. I advised Argyll Self Catering of the error in the listing but 6 weeks later this has still not been rectified.
Eleven members of our family stayed at Fyne Rooms/Burnside and we were all delighted by the accommodations -- comfy, clean and in the perfect location. Raj and his wife Anita were thoughtful hosts and we hope to return someday. Highly recommended!
We are returning customers in Dunoon, as we periodically work in the area. The accommodation is well equipped with all you need when you are away from home. Nice place to have a good rest and to explore the beautiful natural surroundings.
A lovely place to stay, quiet and secluded. It's small but well equipped and everything worked well. No cell phone reception because of the enclosed valley location but the wifi is excellent. There are good hill walks directly from the cottage and lots more within a 20 minute drive. Have stayed before and will hopefully stay again next year.
Positive is a quaint period cottage.Clear directions and entry instructions.Downsides;Disruptive intrusive traffic noise in sitting room and front bedroom being inches from busy main road. Windows need secondary glazing. Seriously the HGV vehicle traffic felt like it was travelling through the property!!!Had to buy ear plugs following day as challenged to sleep first night due to road noise.Upon arrival low battery light flashing on central heating control that died next day. 2 battery clocks needed new batteries. No welcome pack, with instructions on operating stove fire, appliances, central ...more
Just returned from a relaxing break at this beautiful lodge. Decorated to a high standard and immaculately clean. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will be back.
A lovely log cabin in a lovely setting . My thoughts are that it would suit two adults comfortably. We were 3 adults and for example the settee easily seated 2 . With 3 it was too close together , for us anyway . We found all the notices of ‘don’t do this or that ‘ a bit unwelcoming and we have stayed in log cabins many times before . And in fact left Iona cabin to go to one on the Ardnamurchan! It was fine for 3 days and we enjoyed our stay as we are nature lovers and photographers!
The accommodation is very central and has all you need for a short stay, parking is good and if needed you can walk easily into town.
The position of the house could not have been better.Wonderful sea view, with a patio to sit on and enjoy. The house had all the mod. cons you could want. Our only gripe was the towels. One very thin towel each for a week was not enough, they weren't thick enough to dry you after a shower. Otherwise very enjoyable stay.
There was a very damp and musty smell in the hall and bathroom. The vegetation surrounding the cabin was overgrown so the outside felt oppressive rather than having a clear view of the Loch as per the advertisement. The wall glazing needs cleaning. The owner kindly supplies a huge amount of logs stored outside. Half of them disappeared during our stay which made us feel insecure as we felt it may be a local resident. ( Not really anyone else passing) Despite all this, the cabin was warm, extremely comfortable with everything you need in the kitchen, and we loved walking around and down to the ...more
The cottage is attached to the main house is the most stunning grounds with beautiful views of loch Fyne. It is very well equipped with a fabulous kitchen. The website did say there was a tumble dryer and fridge with ice. There is no longer a tumble dryer anda big freezer and new fridge is in place. The 3 bedrooms are pretty and a good size and the beds are so comfy it’s hard to get out of them. Plenty drawer space but lack of wardrobe and hangers. The living room is a mixture of furniture and quite dark - could do with a bit of a makeover. Lovey big bath and good shower with Plenty boiling h...more
Really enjoyed this part of Scotland scenery is running and the owner Andrew very helpful really enjoyed our break
Our stay was really good the host was so lovely and made our stay will defo be back Very clean and tidy had everything we needed for our stay

Better to stay in summer time, muddy and windy in winter. We had power cut when we arrived at the cottage. The owners didn't let us know about it until we checked in and find out there is not electricity and heating, we called the owners to ask how to turn the power on and they said there is a power cut on site. So we were without electricity and heating on a 22/12/2024. We did survive the first night how some with 2 kids and a dog, but the next morning there were still not power back. The owner said we can go for meal and keep the receipt and claim the money back. Of course we went for break...more
We had a lovely 6 night stay at Cockleshell Lodge. The location and view are amazing for walks with the dogs and it's just steps from the beach. Pub within walking distance had really good food. Be aware that the nearest shop is quite a drive down a single track road, so it's worth bringing some provisions with you. The lodge was well equipped with cooking utensils, comfy beds and plenty of towels. TV reception is weak but the internet was absolutely fine. The hosts managing the property were extremely responsive and friendly. Our only suggestion would be to try to make some of the doors...more
Lovely 100+ year old stone cottage, nicely fitted out with everything you could possibly need, Clean & tidy and in a good location for visiting the various islands. Val the host was very helpful in providing information on where to go and what to see etc. Would we go again, most certainly yes.
Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings. The cottage is equipped to the highest standard ensuring that we had everything we could possibly have needed during our stay.
The setting could not be bettered for a quiet and beautiful getaway. The kitchen is well equipped. The log supply was very generous as due to the weather we used on a few evenings. A few things require attention. An unseen Split in a Perspex dining chair caused an injury while in use. We left a note so that this could be picked up quickly. Sliding patio doors in sitting room almost need two people to operate as very heavy and hard to slide. The en suite sink in main bedroom requires a plug. These were the only three things that we felt would have improved our stay. The lodge offers a comfort...more
A wonderfully comfortable and luxurious house in a stunning location. Lots to do in the local area. Highly recommended!
I stayed at Culzean House with my family (8 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs). The rooms were great; clean and comfortable. The location worked well for us. Some nearby, nice places such as Ardentinny beach and Lock Eck. We were also a short drive away from some nice cafes. We weren’t so lucky with the weather but we still had a great time and got some use out of the hot tub. I would love to stay here again, Chris.
We had an amazing break at this fabulous tranquil location. So private, surrounded by trees, none of the other lodges were visible from ours, great close by views of the loch from the living room and the master bedroom. 20 minutes walk along the edge of the loch to the Oystercatcher pub only renovated and reopened four weeks earlier, provided excellent food and local Fyne Ales beer, sitting outside beside the Loch. Long single track road kept the place private and close to nature.
Beautiful location, very peaceful, locals very friendly. House was perfect for our stay and had everything we needed.
We found Alder Cottage situated in a very scenic spot, however our first impressions of the cleanliness was very disappointing. On arrival we entered the cottage and as the light was fading I turned on both floor lamps either side of the fireplace., unfortunately they both were full of cobwebs and dust, the lights on the wall above the fire were also full of cobwebs. The 2 sofas in the living room obviously had not been hoovered as there were a load of crumbs and food under the cushions. The first morning we went to make breakfast, I lifted the frying pan out only to feel grease on the base ...more
When we arrived at larch cottage, we put our luggage in the downstairs bedroom. We then went in to the living room to sit down, when I got up the back of my clothes were covered in white dog hair. On closer inspection there was dog hair on the coffee table and floor. After we had a look around the cottage to find black dog hair on the downstairs bed. After moving our luggage upstairs I went for a shower to find that the temperature would not change from hot as the lever was broken. I messaged david who came around on the Sunday and was told that he could get a plumber out but never saw one, so...more
The cabin has a lovely view towards The Holy Loch however it is partly obstructed by the fantastic trees. The property is a good distance from its neighbours so there isn't a problem with being overlooked. Inside the property has a comfortable lounge that leads on to the raised deck; a well equipped kitchen, although the dishwasher had a handwritten sign saying it isn't working with no indication when it will be fixed. The 3 bedrooms are adequately furnished and a reasonable size. The combined bathroom/toilet is fine however the bath is quite high sided and could present a problem for some peo...more
Well...firstly the positives... 1/Great location truly and the 2/beds are super comfy. Now the not such good news 1/ Lack of a usable drive 2/Decking unfinished 3/Completely pointless patio set at rear 4/Very dangerous steps down with scaffold poles as guard rail 5/Cables hanging down by steps 6/Kitchen inpractical to cook in lacking usable cupboard space. 7/Very cheap utensils and chipped mugs 8/Hygenically dangerous roasting pan 9/Loose floorboards in lounge 10/Poorly fitted electric socket in kitchen 11/ Thermostat in 2nd bedroom shower clearly broken 12/Shower in main bedro...more
The customer service we received has been amazing. The property was fantastic and the lads were definitely comfortable.
I am sorry to have to say the following. The decor of the cottage is very dated and worn. For example: the upholstery of the chairs of the dining room chairs is broken, the control knobs of the heaters are broken, window of the upstairs bedroom cannot be closed, the bath towels and kitchen linen are a little worn out. But there was a surprising welcome package with fresh eggs and delicacies.
We had a wonderful time at the Boat House, cosy with the fireplace, beautiful view (even otters came along) and quiet. We got flowers and herbs from Richard from the garden and also tried some vegetables. :-) Just to be helpfull the following: Some things can be a bit better. The wood for the stove should be a little smaller fore the Boat House or an ax would be helpfull. The kitchen is a bit outdated but still functional. The outside of the house could use a little paint. The windows need to be cleaned at the inside to have an even better view ;-).
A great holiday retreat, fantastic location with superb views of the surrounding hills, come rain or shine. Well equipped and spacious accommodation within easy reach of Dunoon and the delights of the Cowal peninsula. Three generations of our family ranging in age from 5 to 70+ years all enjoyed our stay.
