Gorgeous lodge with everything and more that you need. The welcome basket was a lovely touch Will definitely stay again
Lodge was in fabulous condition on arrival. The views were beautiful and to get up in the morning to watch the deers and other wildlife sauntering around was a highlight. This was the restful break we needed and we would definitely return if we can in the future. The lodge had everything we required for our stay and would highly recommend. The weather was nice for an couple of days and not so great on others but we expected that. It’s the perfect getaway for a couple of days.
Kames View was ideal as holiday accommodation and good value for money. We would definitely book again. Beautiful view from the living room and space was equipped with everything you would need. Thank you so much.
Fantastic apartment with large windows so you can appreciate the view. Great storage space throughout and very comfortable beds and beautiful bedding Would struggle to seat 4 adults in lounge. Well equipped kitchen but a small table or breakfast bar would be good. The whole property was spotless. On our one day of sunshine we enjoyed the garden and exploring the shore.
Delightful holiday. Accommodation absolutely faultless. Would not hesitate to book again. Owners are superb hosts.
We have stayed in this property twice and both times it has exceeded our expectations. Great facilities at the property and wonderful views overlooking a peaceful loch. Great place for a quiet relaxing break, with lots to do in the surrounding area.
We were made welcome by the owner. Good,clean cottage excellent location, great views down the loch.
Very nice and beautiful clean house and nice river view..few minutes walk to the river.a bit over charged price should be a bit less but not bad
If you wish a walk on the quiet side, then do not hesitate to stay at this lovely house, Ardfyne. With beautiful views over Loch Fyne to the west and in a great location altogether, this property is superbly well-equipped and spacious. Also, well-placed for an evening meal out in the nearby Creggans Inn, book ahead as this is a very busy restaurant with great seafood. Forest trails, mooching along the shoreline for shells and driftwood, hills and gardens to explore, and within easy distance of most places such as Inveraray, Benmore Gardens by Dunoon and your own hidden gems yet to discover i...more
Outstanding views, all modern accessories, house had everything we needed for our stay..highly recommend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is warm, comfortable and well equipped, with wonderful views over the Kyle of Bute.
The accommodation was excellent. The location on a small crescent meant there was no noise from traffic and it was only a two minute drive to the main road. We particularly appreciated the secluded backyard, with chairs on the Patio looking onto the woods at the back of the property.
Views from Upper Alta stunning, room's large and bright, all that you need is supplied . Would recommend to anyone who want's a quiet relaxing break
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Craignethan. The location is just perfect and the environment so peaceful, relaxing and absolutely stunning. I would certainly book the accommodation again, and we will definitely be back to the area next year. When the weather is right, it’s better than the Med!!
Really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and spacious with lots of modern facilities. The large window in the lounge really accentuated the view out onto the river and the mountains beyond. Some complimentary wine and shortbread didn’t do any harm either! Thoroughly recommended.
Asten View was perfect for our vacation. Close to shops, Morrison's and the Ferry. Right on the water, nice friendly neighbors, flat was perfect size. We had a wonderful time visiting family.
Beautiful apartment, perfectly clean, modern and great location. Enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back.
I travelled with my husband, our 3 year old son and my elderly parents. The bedrooms and bathrooms available in this property were perfect as my father can’t climb stairs. Him and my mother had their own bathroom next to their bedroom on the ground floor. We had 2 bedrooms and a gorgeous bathroom with a bath upstairs. The rest of the house is just ideal. Beautiful kitchen and very well equipped. The owner put some milk in the fridge for us and left a lovely welcome basket with some biscuits etc. We loved the garden as it was so safe for our son and also just beautiful to sit in and look at. We...more
A lovely modernised property in a traditional setting, with stunning views over the constantly changing tides and atmosphere of beautiful Loch Fyne and direct access to the shore right across the road. Note: The road can be quite busy during the day as it’s used by locals, tourists and logging lorries, so there’s some noticeable noise at times, but this gradually diminishes as evening approaches and didn’t detract from our stay. Re. Access to the Loch; We had no problem getting a paddle board down and into the water. Greenlea also has a large private garden perfect for relaxing when you’re...more
beautiful location with stunning views .Cottage is comfortable we made the mistake of not getting milk for when we arrived and as the only shop was closed we had to wait until the morning as it is the only cottage we have ever been to with no welcome pack at all. We also left a day early as the neighbouring cottage had workmen cutting down the back garden trees and greenery and using a bonfire to burn some of it for 2 days so all windows and doors had to be kept closed
Location is perfect and property is ideal for a family. Great communication. This is our third stay and will be back again.
We enjoyed a very pleasant 2 weeks in this ground floor apartment and received a warm welcome from the owners, Natalie and John. Everywhere was spotlessly clean on arrival. The kitchen fittings were very new and well laid out with the added benefit of a small dishwasher which we very much appreciated on the days we ate "at home". The house is well set back from the main road and we slept very soundly in the master bedroom. We had plenty of storage for our belongings and also appreciated the comfort of the living room sofa and armchairs. The location in Ardrishaig worked very well for u...more
Lovely apartment with fantastic views, great location. Well equipped and a lovely welcoming basket with goodies on arrival and info on local tourist attractions. Second bedroom probably more suitable for kids than adults but otherwise we loved the apartment and would stay again.
The house was ideal for our family holiday and the location was great, we loved watching the boats go through the locks. Although the weather was poor we made the most of our time while staying in Argyll. Our only comment would be the garden was not secure for the dogs.
Wonderful holiday in this very well-equipped and comfortable cottage in superb location. Why do I need to submit 13 more characters when I've said it all?
After a number of previous visits to the Waterside it was lovely to return. You couldn’t ask for a better position with stunning views which are ever changing. House is very well equipped and comfortable. It was strange not being able to control the heating ourselves though as the temperature/weather was always different. Rang the owner once to put up it on, which they did straight away, but we would have preferred to have been able to do it ourselves as and when was necessary. Having said that we have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.
We felt very safe as everything had been deep cleaned prior to our arrival. We were really impressed that disinfectant had been left for our use, the owners were in touch with us informing us of road closures which was helpful. This was our second visit and it won’t be the last
All in all, the property was clean, well equipped with largely up to date furniture, fixtures, fittings and apart from no TV picture except via internet, well maintained. However I doubt I would return as the cabin lacks space, tiny shower door, space at bottom of double bed very small, dining area too small for 4 persons to eat in comfort. The interior is dull and lacking in natural light due to the dark brown colour of the aged timber interior and smallish windows in the living areas which are largely at the north end of the building and facing trees only feet away. In answer to the question...more
We stayed at Aldersyde for 3 weeks and could not have been happier. We arrived to find the house was beautifully clean and filled with flowers, a welcome bottle of wine on ice and some Scottish fudge! Aldersyde is cosy and perfect for a family with children of all ages. The youngest spent all their time in the garden on the adventure park and the older children and loved the pool and table tennis. All this as well as a separate play room filled with games, puzzles, books and videos for the young ones on rainy days. The bedrooms were cosy and comfortable and the bathrooms excellent. There was...more
Comfortable stay in an ideal location. Lots of walks for dogs. Great views. Good communication - many thanks.
Can't beat this location for a peaceful relaxing holiday with stunning views over Loch Long. The cottage was very well appointed super kitchen & very well equipped. We loved sitting out on the decking & just soaking it all up. There was only 2 of us so bear in mind if you are a party of 6 you may have to organise a bathroom rota!
Thank you very much . everything is fine. large beautiful house in a beautiful setting. thank you Diane and see you next time
This house sits magnificently on the beach, so close to the water. Every bedroom window and all the living areas look out onto the water, for a relaxing ambience. The house is comfortable, well equipped and the lay out means you can always find a quiet space, The house and location offers something for everyone. We managed to go Paddle boarding, forest and coast walking, appreciate a shinty match, and a park and fairy trail for the wee ones to enjoy. We also watched dolphins and an otter. It’s a house to appreciate spending time with family and at the same time appreciating what nature o...more
A comfortable, quiet and clean cottage with great dog friendly garden. Great shower, comfy bed, nice kitchen diner. Car parking ok - had to park up the kerb and walk short distance to cottage. Nice walk into town along the prom.
We had a lovely stay over Christmas. Plenty space and facilities for 6 guests and our dogs. Our host was very helpful and easy to contact as required. Lovely break! Thank you!
The lodge was very well taken care of, much bigger than I expected, with everything available for cooking and clean. Our kids loved the cosy feel and the little nook upstairs they called the “chill room”. The lodge was on a big holiday park, where the older houses have a lot of charm, but they were putting up a lot of ugly uniform chalets which is a shame. It al looked well kept and our house had pretty flowers. In the area there are nice opportunities to go hiking, but Dunoon is not a very charming place and it takes as while to get anywhere from the peninsula.
Beautiful cottage set on its own private beach hotel just 1 mins walk away if you fancy drink or something to eat portavadie is only 10 mins drive well worth a visit
Perfect Very clean and well equipped little cottage. Inveraray is s beautiful town so much history will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!
Fully equipped, spacious upper floor flat with magnificent views up and down the Firth of Clyde. Ideal situation with a 10 min walk to town centre and supermarket. Excellent base to explore the scenery and outdoor activities in Argyll. 20 steep outside steps ok for us as adults. Will happily book again.
Booking the cottage was straight forward and the directions easily followed. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities we required. The entrance to the cottage is extremely narrow for any family sized car. Widening/improving this access would make a great difference when coming and going from the property. We really enjoyed our stay, it was ideal for our dogs as they had freedom and safety. We would definitely recommend Tighnaheaglais Cottage to our friends and family
We were very impressed with the property. There was a nice welcome pack, the owner was very helpful and pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped and laid out. It has the benefit of two showers and bedrooms very comfortable. Good off road parking for two vehicles and a pleasant decked area with patio furniture.
Second visit and as good as we remembered. Peaceful location on Loch . Woodlea is very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. Spotlessly clean - a real home from home.
A lovely clean warm peaceful and homely cottage. Very close to the centre of town yet having a nice feeling of remoteness. Owner is friendly, helpful and always on hand if needed.
Really lovelly clean ground floor flat, amazing views and really enjoyed our stay with great weather to boot.
I had a lovely family holiday here with my sisters and brother and elderly parents. Accommodated our needs as there was a lovely dining table to eat together. I know there was stairs leading down to the bedroom and as my parents have stairs in their house I know they would manage but there is about 10 steps so maybe not ideal for people with difficulty. Lovely big kitchen with everything you could need. Lovely welcome pack on arrival which was a nice touch. Enjoyed our time there
We had a great week, the lodge was comfortable and well equipped, although would be a bit of a squash for 4 adults. The location was perfect, peaceful with great walks. We will visit again
Homely & comfortable apartment with a lovely view, beautifully kept garden, in a great location, definitely recommend
Lovely property with stunning views, very relaxing. Had some of our meals out on the veranda which gets the sun all day. You can walk through the owners garden which is stunning to go down to the beach( which is stoney) . Lovely chilled holiday.
We stayed at Ash Lodge for 10 nights and would definitely recommend it. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival - the lodge was very clean, well maintained and some basic items were provided such as soap, shower gel, washing up liquid etc. There were plenty of towels, the bed is comfortable and the kitchen has everythig you could need. The only downside is that due to the position of the lodge with all the windows facing towards the trees, it is a bit dark inside. However, the benefit of this is privacy - when you are in the livingroom or sitting on the deck you are not overlooked. Ther...more
A lovely cottage with all the essentials for a relaxing and pleasant stay. Great for touring the area, visiting the many neolithic sites (within walking distance), wildlife spotting along the coast or having some get away from it all quiet time.
Comfortable well heated cottage with two en suites and lots of space at the back door for outdoor gear and dogs' things. The kitchen could be better equipped though, for example it could do with salad and fruit bowls, clean dishcloth and pot scrubber, more dishes so that the dishwasher runs full without our running out of dishes, and picnic things like foil wrap or plastic boxes. Also the lid of the rubbish bin doesn't work, the kettle leaked and so did two cracked mugs. A chair leg was broken and the handle fell off a tray showing it had been glued on previously, but not strongly enough! Did...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
Our family had a really great time staying at Sebright. The house is so comfortable and has a fantastic central location. The owners were extremely thoughtful in the way they had furnished the house, so that it felt like a real home from home, and we settled in straight away. We were also touched by the very kind ‘welcome pack’ left for us. There was ample parking for two cars, but it was lovely to be able to leave them most of the time as the beaches and the town, pool, castle gardens etc were all in easy walking distance. We were very sad to leave Sebright at the end of the week, as we’d had...more
We were for work in Dunoon and glad to return to this property. You can find all you need when you are away from home. Thank you
Nice comfortable cottage lovely views very peaceful location nice welcome pack good communication before we got there all Covid covered would recommend to anyone ale home very relaxed
A lovely spacious cottage near the loch. A road at the front which was not busy . There are 3 red squirrels near by, but only saw one fleetingly. Plenty of garden birds. A quiet and peaceful situation.
I booked my holiday accommodation through Argyll self catering holidays and the booking process was very good as well as the communications regarding my booking. The cabin's location is really nice and peaceful with enough privacy and close enough to the town of Dunoon. The surrounding area is great with lots to do. The cabin was very nice and comfortable with everything one needs and more as well as modern and spotless. I loved the patio area which is very generous in size so you don't feel squashed and has a very nice view. I would highly recommend Dolphin Run.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage had everything you needed for a short break. The location is nice and quiet and the garden would be great for summertime. I think the main radiators need bled, when you put the fire on they only heated up a little bit. I would definetly stay here again when the weather is a bit warmer.
Fabulous house with a view. Would have liked somewhere to put clothes in main bedroom. There was no where to put clothes as no chest of drawers and had to keep everything in suitcase. For a house of this standard think it’s unacceptable. Also only one hand towel in each bathroom for a week, again not sufficient. Would expect to change towels on a more regular basis. Elaine the owner was helpful and arranged taxi for us to take us to local restaurant. Elspeth the taxi driver was excellent.
Ideal location to enjoy the Dunoon area. Not too far from pier and main town centre, walkable in around 20 minutes. Great for a large family with 5 bedrooms though only two showers - one an en-suite. The kitchen is a good size, and has most things needed. The lounge area is large but the suites are very soft and caused a lot of difficulty for our party to get out of, not really comfy either. The mattress in our bedroom (left, back) was very lumpy and uncomfortable to sleep in but all the others said theirs were fine.
Tigh Na Claddoch is a beautiful appointed property in a picturesque and tranquil setting. Loved the open plan dining, kitchen, lounge area which was perfect for socialising. Plenty of space and high ceilings. All of the information about the home was sent prior to our visit which made things easier. There is a wood at the back of the property perfect for taking the dog for a 10/15 min walk. There are quite alot of steps to get to the top but we'll worth it. A welcome pack would have been an extra bonus.
All perfect. Would totally recommend the place, the views over the sea are just incredible. Nice comfortable flat.
Fabulous location on the shore front, free parking, comfortable beds and chairs. Very interesting watching all the shipping go by, loved the Janes shipping guide. Double bedroom and a twin bedroom, two bathrooms so ideal for a family
13 of us went to Culzean house for a family birthday celebration. We had a lovely time, the house was very well equipped with everything that we needed. The weather was not great but that didn't stop us from enjoying the hot tub or the sauna every day. The house was a bit further out from shops than we realised so be prepared with all of your shopping in advance so that you don't have to do the 15/16 Mile drive into the town. We had no phone signal at all and with 6 youngsters was a bit frustrating for them although the up side to that was that we had brilliant family time, just being toge...more
Ardmun house was so homely and in fantastic surroundings, the family loved it. The Benmore Botanical gardens was so stunning, and only ten mins away.
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!
Great cottage and facilities close to lots of great walks, perfect for getting away from it all to relax with great views.
Springburn Cottage is located in a very quiet and peaceful location, just what we were looking for, a good base for south west Scotland. We had a very peaceful holiday, however, the cottage advertised, bears no resemblance to the cottage today, ie : overgrown. This cottage requires a clean in order to bring it up to a normal standard. As instructed we stripped the bedding and found to our dismay that a quilt was soiled with blood and pillows stained! This is a lovely cottage in a good location but has been neglected, a pity. Overall the cottage was well equipped.
Very disappointed with the Lodge. In need of updating and TLC. Sofas in Lounge area in poor condition especially 2 seater all taped up and ripped at the back. Twin room dressing table very badly marked with ring marks. Very uncomfortable bed. Decking area not cleaned before arrival. Very disappointed as the price charged we expected better!
The house is well organised. I will share three remaks to help you to improve it : - we didn't find a hairdryer; - it was impossible to dry our clothes in the garden (with the sun) because the rope for hanging is durty, broken so too short - the table legs are now too short: they need to be wedged Thank you again for this booking: we will come again!
Cosy and comfortable cottage with beautiful, quiet country garden. Dog friendly with everything you need for a restful stay.
Had a great stay. Lovely cottage with stunning views. Great base to explore surrounding areas. Would recommend
Was a little disappointed with this lodge on arrival. With the amount paid for our stay we thought this lodge could be updated decor wise. The kitchen and bathroom are very nice and new but the bedrooms and living area could be doing with being freshened up. Upon walking in the entrance smelled very damp but it was the mop and bucket that seemed to be causing it. The lodge bedding was clean, we had to hoover the ceiling area as my daughter hates spiders and there were plenty cobwebs. Overall i would say it was nice, some attention could be paid to some minor thing to make stay more comfortable...more
The cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed for our stay. The view was wonderful and the telescope a nice addition so that you could look out across the Loch. The owners got in touch with helpful information, which was great. We loved our stay and would love to come back to the village. One negative would be that perhaps the parking should be more accessible.
We had a lovely holiday and the cottage was sufficient for our needs. There is many nik naks in the cottage which must make it very difficult for the cleaner to dust which is noticeable, less is more sometimes! The twin room is very tired from the stain on carpet to brown sheets. Other than that cottage was fine and we very much enjoyed our holiday. Thank you
When we arrived at the cottage we found it in an unhygenic state, dirty floors, manky cooking equipment and the bathroom was grubby. The cottage was also cold. Downstairs the cottage reeks of damp. I made the owner aware of the issues we faced at rowan cottage during our stay. He did say he would instruct the cleaners to undertake a deep clean but we were not offered any money back (despite being given photographic evidence of the issues) which is very dissapointing. If you have small children i would avoid this property due to the damp. We had our newborn with us and i was very uncomfortable ...more
The cottage is in the most beautiful spot, we absolutely loved sitting out on the decking looking over the loch. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils and the dishwasher was great. The shower was good, very powerful. The sofas are not the comfiest but if the weather is dry you will probably want to sit outside on the decking anyway! We took our two dogs and there are So many wonderful places to explore nearby (within an hour ish) including Benmore Gardens, Pucks Glen, Inveraray, Loch Lomond. The closest shops are in Dunoon which are a good 20 min drive away. There is a wonderful cafe c...more
A welcome pack with essential groceries was waiting for us upon arrival. Very kind. I would use this property again but i would request a thorough cleaning. The standard needs to be better.
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 ;-).
Very comfortable and great location right in the centre but still very quiet. It would be good to have a few more items for the kitchen.
The cottage is in a relatively good location, a quiet corner of a sheep farm but within walking distance to amenities including a great pub and restaurant. The cottage was not very clean and smelt damp, there were crumbs and ants in some kitchen drawers, rubbish under a couch, many utensils were dirty, the kitchen floor had mucky foot prints.... however the sheets and towels were clean which was the main thing. The whole cottage inside and out needed painting, the perimeter fence was falling apart which meant sheep were often in the garden and their poo was everywhere, therefore dangerous f...more
