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 :)
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.
The best things about the room was the very large shower, large bed and the biscuits! It was quiet and peaceful.
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!
Always stay here we are in Scotland. It’s very convenient for lots of places to visit. The cottage is lovely and the views from the bedrooms are lovely. Lots of things to do in the area. This visit we went over to Bute and visited the Alpacas. We all loved it.
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.
This ground floor apartment is well appointed and has great sea views. Lovely large windows for watching the boats coming and going. Made for a relaxing holiday.
Our week at Heronlea was cold for early September and we were very pleased to have easy to operate heating. The owners are next door if you need them. The added bonus for this property was the deer visiting the large garden.
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
The flat is very comfortable and situated just across the road from the water. The views are magnificent. We found the hotel nest door to be welcoming and reasonably priced, and the general store underneath very convenient. Altogether just about perfect! Small criticisms - there is very little space to hang clothes and a shortage of hangers. Also I have never known such a heavy duvet and we had a heatwave. There were no options eg blankets.
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 .
Beautiful accommodation in a stunning setting. It is very well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. We will miss waking up in the morning to the gorgeous view of the loch. There was a bottle of prosecco chilling in the fridge on our arrival, a lovely surprise.
Absolutely amazing cabin, very private surrounded by beautiful scenery. Everything provided for a relaxing stay, and Louisa was a brilliant host, extremely welcoming with lots of recommendations and always on hand to make sure our stay was perfect. 10/10, will recommend to friends and family and will definitely be back!
Great stay, thankyou for fab accommodation! We really enjoyed our visit. We will be back soon!!!!!!!!
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 ☺️
We had a great stay at Sedna. The house was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was beautiful and was handy for shops, leisure facilities and stunning landscapes and beaches.
Amazing views. Very comfortable, fabulous lounge, dining area and main bedroom. Can't understand why it's not fully booked over the summer. Very quiet area, great to really switch off and spend time walking or with the binoculars.
Beautiful flag in an excellent location. Gorgeous surrounding area to explore Would definitely recommend
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
Excellent accommodation in a beautiful setting. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Great view. Would recommend.
Lovely bungalow overlooking Bute . Perfect location for exploring Kyle’s of Bute surrounded by lots of walks . Recommend Kilbride Bay and The Bothy at Kilbride Farm , Carry Farm for fresh lobster and Langoustine to buy and ferry to Tarbert and circular walk past castle. We managed to walk daily despite the rain but unfortunately unable to sit outside and enjoy the view as so wet Kames local store very handy too !
The lodge was extremely comfortable and spotlesly clean. The host provided bread,milk,tea,coffee and a lovely box of sweet treats which was a lovely surprise. Communicatiin from the host was first class. There was a lovely view from the decking which was great to sit out on for dining or catching the sun. The dog also loved the decking for watching everyone passing by. Would highly recommend the lodge
A superb stat in this cosy cottage.We hope to return. Great position , well equipped, quiet. Happy Days..
The cottage is ideally placed for anyone travelling to Dunoon on the Western Ferries. The garden is beautiful, not too manicured, and extends all around the cottage. The deck and outdoor seating area is a lovely place to sit and look at the birds - we saw a male crossbill one day. On showery days the conservatory is really spacious and gets very warm with even a little sun. That was the room where we spent most of our time when indoors. The lounge was cosy. There is a wood-burning stove, with plenty of logs and would have been our choice of place to sit in the winter. The kitchen was well equi...more
Harris Lodge is in a great location with views over the lock. Spacious, clean and very comfy. We had a fantastic holiday
We had a lovely stay at the cottage . The setting is perfect for a relaxing break. The scenery is amazing and there are lots of places to visit for walks. The cottage is very comfy and cosy . It is very well equipped and was perfect for our group . We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights too.
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!
Huge house - which was modern clean and very comfortable Good Location Great that it’s fully accessible
We had a lovely stay at Janeville, which is in a perfect location in Ardrishaig with beautiful views of the sea. The accommodation is really comfortable and cosy, and well equipped. There is lots to see in the surrounding area, and we look forward to visiting again.
My family have stayed here quite a few times over the years. We love this house and its beautiful and peaceful location. It has everything we needed for a comfortable holiday - no matter what the weather is like.
A well fitted out cottage with everything we needed on a quiet lane but close to Dunoon and various beauty spots. We come every year to this part of Scotland and would highly recommend this cottage and its garden for a welcome break.
Wonderful comfortable apartment with breathtaking views. Everything has been thought of and provided if you wish to cook but there are great places to eat nearby. A special mention to Tide & Thyme for its amazing food. Lovely local walks to enjoy.
Good location and clean flat. The host was very responsive and helpful. I would recommend this flat.
Our stay at Crossaig Farm house was delightful. It’s in the perfect location for so many little drives or cycles that take you to the most glorious beaches. The house itself was beautifully decorated and very spacious with plenty of room for our family. We stayed at the perfect time as we got to see all of the new lambs on the surrounding fields. The view from the property down the open fields and then out onto the water is stunning and so peaceful. Lynne has the place in lovely condition and could not have been more helpful. Thank you so much.
Lovely place to stay. Well-equipped and comfortable. Great location and perfect for walking. Many thanks
Easy to find, very well equipped, tastefully decorated, and very warm and comfortable. Creation of a front outdoor seating area a good addition.
Lovely lodge ,beautiful views, peaceful home from home .has everything you need ,looking forward to go back again soon
Lovely well appointed apartment. Great walking from the front door - minutes from the Crinan Canal. Lovely shops nearby. Amazing views from the flat.
We were on the whole disappointed. We had booked 3 nights but left after 2. The room itself is nicely done out, but why you need a drinks fridge and safe when there isn't a heating system is inexplicable. The bathroom was distinctly chilly (no heated towel rail or heater), and there was no plug for the washbasin. We knew in advance that is was room only, so b and b (as it still appears on some sites) and self catering (as on Argyll self catering) is inaccurate and misleading, and there is still a breakfast menu in the information folder. The owner told us the local cafe opened at 9, but it tur...more
We had a wonderful 10 days, so peaceful and quiet location. Cottage was well equipped with everything that you would need for your holiday.
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.
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 loved our stay, the accommodation was perfect and it was great to have so much space! The games room and log fires were well used, as was the beach which was great for swimming, snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking. The kitchen had everything we needed and the seating area off it was a stunning place to take in the views. Also great to have board games and books to dip into. The local shop was good for extra supplies, and would highly recommend Kames Hotel for a meal out.
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
We revisited one of our favourite rentals for a 2 night get away. Very comfortable and extremely peaceful. Such a fabulous view too. Looking forward to returning another time. (Two adults, visit was mid June).
Lovely new property at the back of Lochgilphead. Only a 10 minute walk to the shops and 15 minute to the shore. The Crinan Canal is only a 5 minute walk and Lochgilphead golf course is a well maintained, short 9 holes course. We had a lovely relaxing stay
Spent 4 nights at Pier Cottage, Kames. Although small, it had everything that we required and was ideal for our needs. The location is second to none. The owner Eileen was on hand for any advice and quickly sorted any minor issues. Thoroughly recommend a visit.
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
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
Marvellous position overlooking Loch. Everything you could need is provided. Very comfortable and useful outdoor space.
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.
Donald and Diana were very welcoming and friendly, couldn’t do enough to make us feel comfortable . The location was perfect for a walk into town or just sit and watch the water
It was very comfortable, warm and clean, with lovely views. I loved the wood interiors and the fireplace. The shower was a little weak and ran a bit hot and cold, but I think that can be expected from a cabin out in the country. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it completly.
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.
Glenbranter Cottage is the perfect base to stay whilst exploring the Cowal Peninsula it's set within the Argyle National Park, with lovely forest and river walks, with fantastic and scenic waterfalls literally on the doorstep. The whole peninsula is within easy driving range, with too many scenic routes to list. The cottage is small but perfect for two, it is finished to a high standard and has everything you may need for your stay. The hosts were very helpful and polite, and I would not hesitate to recommend this location.

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 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 f...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
Visited Dunoon and bay cottage with my dog and this was the perfect base for the week and exactly as described. Easy walk to front or into town.
We had a lovely 5 nights at Teal Cottage. Very well appointed and the bed and bedding was excellent. It was lovely to sit on the bench in the front garden in the sun (yes we had a few very sunny days), enjoying our coffee and the views. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The sitting/dining area was much larger than the photographs show and filled with natural light. I particularly loved the large seat/small sofa for reading in. The only reason that I gave a 4 for location is that it was a drive to off lead walking (for the dog) apart from the loch when the tide was out. That was great ...more

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
A lovely cottage set in a stunning location. Very clean and had everything we needed. It’s situated in a stunning setting and was just what we were looking for for a weeks break .
Comfortable 3 bedroom flat, on the coast above an Indian Restaurant. The pub next door serves good meals although not every night. No off street parking but the pub don’t seem to mind you using there car park if you eat or drink there. All in all well equipped.
Lovely looking cottage, nice enclosed garden and lots of room. Ideal, quiet location. Helpful host. Slight downside in that the three armchairs are VERY old, stained and definitely need replacing or should have throws to cover them. The iron ( which leaks badly ) and hairdryer haven't been PAT tested for two years, which needs addressing as both are ( again ) old items showing their age. In summary, a good cottage which could be excellent if given some TLC to spruce it up.
Fantastic property, spacious and clean, super comfy beds and pillows. Perfect location to visit countless places of absolute beauty. Host was amazing!
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.
We booked this primarily based on the pictures especially of the outdoor areas. However these appear to have now been neglected. You would not want to spend time in the summerhouse. The bbq would need cleaning before use. Some of the birdfeeders had mouldy deposits. The chairs , tables and benches appear to just been left out for the elements to take their toll. The welcome pack needs updating especilly in regards to the heating/hot water Yes we needed it in June. Only 1 of the logs provided would actually fit in the burner had we wanted to use it. No dishwasher tablets were provided and ha...more
The house is spacious, comfortable and everything you could possibly need is provided. The owner was also very helpful in helping us figure out the hot tub. Thank you!
We had a lovely few days staying in the idyllic spot by the lochside. The views from the cabin are stunning. It's incredibly peaceful and relaxing. It is isolated so make sure you take all you groceries! The local pub has great meals.
A wonderfully comfortable and luxurious house in a stunning location. Lots to do in the local area. Highly recommended!
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.
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
The cottage was cosy, comfortable and well equipped with loch views. It was a peaceful and relaxing week and despite not having the best weather we really enjoyed our stay.
The view was amazing but we were disappointed with the condition of the property and quality of fittings and equipment. The rear entrance felt unsafe.
I thought Culzean House was good. The availability of a sauna and ht tub added to the value. Would have liked all of the rooms to have had en suite.
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.
