We had a lovely stay here and honestly couldn’t fault it. The location is excellent – really peaceful and perfect if you’re looking to relax. It’s right by the shore which was ideal for walks, and it’s only a short trip into Rothesay where you’ll find the main shops, cafés and everything you need. The views from the windows were absolutely stunning. Looking straight out to the sea, it was lovely watching the ferries and boats passing by. The place was spotlessly clean when we arrived, the kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could need. All the essentials were there (even th...more
Rae and Justin provided a beautiful, clean and practical accommodation and were very responsive and helpful hosts. Highly recommend staying at Coorie Braw!
I spent a full week at the Weatheroak Studio Annex while I explored the Cowal Peninsula by bus. The studio flat is small but perfect for a single person or a couple - it has everything you need for your stay: a TV and two armchairs, a small kitchenette, a comfortable double bed and a good shower in the en suite plus the use of the back garden of the main house - a big plus in sunny weather. The annex is tucked away in a very peaceful location down a lane off a side street in Dunoon - the town centre, bus stops and Bishop's Glen are all within an easy walking distance. The owner was very welcom...more
This is our second stay at Cuil Steading and there will most definitely be more. The thoughtful touches like homemade bread and provisions in the fridge are unmatched, we have stayed in a number of places and none of them come close to the warm and homely feel. Steve and Stephen are so lovely and welcoming and quite simply the most gracious of hosts. We can't wait to be back!
Great apartment in a wonderful village. I wouldn't visit again while the ratarsed rally is on, something we had no idea existed! It ruined the weekend. However once cleared, the village was fantastic. Such an amazing place, the apartment boast excellent views you will never get tired of and an abundance of wildlife. Minor suggestion would be to have an hoover available for guests or at the least a dust pan and brush. Fantastic apartment in a great area. Stairs to the door are steep but having access to the back garden is yet another reason to book if you have a dog. We would defini...more
The host was readily available and answered texts promptly. She even gave me a personal demonstration on how to lock and unlock the door. The apartment is gorgeous, clean and very comfortable. All my needs were met. The view from the windows is serene and I enjoyed watching the sailboats and ferries. The walk along the promenade was flat with plenty benches to sit and enjoy people watching, along with the view. I did have several rainy days but proper outerwear solves that. The only concern I had was that I didn’t realize how many hills are in Gourock, including where the house is loc...more
Came back to this flat for second time as it had everything you need. There’s been a few changes made to it ie. new walk in shower which I think makes it more adult friendly. The stairs when you walk in the close are a bit tired and daunting to take suitcases up but still manageable. I had a chat with a couple of the neighbours and they’re really friendly. The location is perfect. All in all I’d stay here no problem again in the future as my wife and I really enjoyed our stay again.
We stayed here for a week and it was such a lovely cottage. Great base for travelling around the area and amazing views. The fire and the mirror are a fab addition, as are all the added extras. We will definitely be back!!
We loved our stay at Seal Cove. Louisa was great, lots of suggestions of things to do and had a warm, outgoing personality. The grounds were peaceful and found it easy to relax and our dog was free to roam. The cabin was comfortable with all that we needed for this type of stay. Particularly enjoyed the beach on the Loch. We were lucky with thd weather too. When dealing with the staff at Argyll Holidays I ground them professional and helpful. First class. Thanks, Mark & Hannah.
Lovely, welcoming holiday home that feels like your own place. Location perfect for the village and access to the pier.
A nice quiet place, very comfortable beds and a good shower. Great breakfast at the cafe across the road.
A beautiful cottage with a lovely garden. Well equipped kitchen, we had everything we needed to self cater. One of the cleanest cottages I have stayed in and very comfy bed. Lovely host and excellent communication.
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
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
We wanted a restful holiday, somewhere to enjoy beautiful scenery and celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! Seal Point Cabin was perfect! The views were wonderful, peace and quiet a plenty and Louisa, the host was fantastic - wonderful welcome and fab recommendations for the local area!! The cabin was beautiful, clean and comfortable - had everything we needed and was just what we wanted - cannot recommend enough!
We had a wonderful stay at Greenlea in Strachur. The accommodation had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday, and the most beautiful view of Loch Fyne was simply stunning. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The only slight negative was the road outside, as you could hear some lorries passing early in the morning. However, this was a minor issue and everything else about our stay was perfect, more than making up for it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Greenlea and would happily stay again. A lovely, relaxing accommodation with an ...more
This is my 2nd stay at Blairlagan and again the lodge was just perfect. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped, beds very comfortable. Great communication from Liz prior to and after arrival. Highly recommend the lodge and will be back
First impression was a light and airy feel to the apartment. Every room was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for us to self cater in the kitchen and entertain in the sitting room with games and jigsaws for rainy days. The apartment was on the first floor with stunning views across of the Kyles of Bute and beyond, and even binoculars to look at the otter and porpoises that we spotted from the window! Walking along to Tighnabuiach village was an easy 20 mins on the flat seaside road, with access to shops, cafes and an Indian restaurant. Fyne Raja was excellent if you like...more
Found the house and customer service to way exceed expectations. Great location and house kept to a high standard!
Beautiful house in super quiet location. The photos don't do it full justice. We would love to come back.
Coorie Doon was a fabulous cottage, kitted out to a very high standard. The location on the canal was first class. Would recommend and return again.
We stayed for 2 nights. On arrival the host appears confused and not sure of what to do. We received vouchers only for one days breakfast despite it being a 2 night stay. No staff were around to ask anything. The room was spacious with a very large bed. A fridge with some complimentary juice and water was a nice touch especially with how warm it’s been. Netflix and prime on the telly was great to kill a couple of hours. The bathroom was fresh and clean with a small walk in shower. The room had a hanging wardrobe with plenty hangers but no drawer space available. Hairdryer and Tea & Coff...more
This property is just superb, colourful and radiant, it catered for all our needs and more in great style, everything is top quality & well thought out, suitable for young and old, it's impressive, immaculate and well maintained since our last stay here 2 years ago with absolutely no faults. Seeing the Lambs in the adjacent field is always a bonus. I can't imagine you'd find anywhere better, a truely charming property.
Staying this close to a one of my besties made a change! Perfectly placed for where I took my bike for a couple of solo rides (first time taking the bike on holiday - finally forked out for the appropriate tow-bar bike rack!). Very well presented property, with plenty of parking. Bigger than where I would normally stay, but loved the location - peaceful, yet close to amenities. Comfortable bed. Epic water pressure in the ensuite shower! I'd highly recommend this property to anyone.
I’m a returning customer to this beautiful apartment. It’s fresh, light and spotlessly clean. It’s a real home from home being so well equipped and comfortable. The view and light in the front rooms of the water is simply stunning!
The flat was lovely and great location but a but far out. Poor signage so drove passed the entrance. Only issue we had was the shower in the on suite filled up whilst in use and could have caused a flood, also the light in there did not stay on for any length of time and there was poor drainage in the bathroom sink. One other thing was the living suite needs to be given a good wipe over after every stay.
Great to return to this beautiful, warm and comfortable cottage after a day out walking in the rain!
returned once more to the lovely cedar cottage for a fabulous relaxing week in the sun scenery just as stunning thank you again Lil
Friendly, competitive, clean and comfortable. And the bonus is the Fyne Raja Restaurant nearby, for a fantastic curry. Second stay there and I’m sure I’ll be back again.
The house was clean and comfortable and had most things we needed Would have been nice to have a teapot but managed ok Bathroom could do with updating a bit, flooring was worn and starting to raise in the edges, shower head wasn’t the best , water was spraying out of the side and the bathroom wastes were corroded. Plenty of hot water though and the heated bathroom cabinet mirror was a bonus after you had a shower The double bed was comfortable, but the springs in the mattress were noisy, something I’m not used to Didn’t use the outside garden because of the adverse weather, but might look ...more
We really enjoyed staying at Cairnbaan House and very much appreciated its location and its special atmosphere. Such a comfortable, peaceful place with much to do in the vicinity. We wish we could have stayed longer. If we come back to this fascinating area, we certainly will come back to this lovely cottage.
We were four adults and two dogs staying for a family break. The cottage is warm, spacious and comfortable. We had everything that we needed to enjoy relaxing and cooking meals together. The garden is wonderful for dogs, with a lawned area which leads to a lovely ‘wilder’ area with long grasses and trees where the dogs could explore. The garden is surrounded with post and rail fencing, so secure. All in all a very enjoyable stay.
Lavander Lodge was amazing and bed was so comfay everthing was there for you and so peaceful and beautiful views and was so nice to meet the hosts had a lovely week in Dunoon.
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.
Well appointed, having everything you need in a holiday home. Excellent garden and very good location
Could not fault Loch View lodge. Lesley and Andrew were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Everything you need is there, and more. Even the folder with instructions for everything is so detailed. Lesley is available if you need anything. Would return
Had a lovely time here, beautiful location and loved having the log fire and being so close to red squirrels and birds. Close enough to dunoon for shops and restaurants, but also right next to Pucks Glen and Benmore Botanic gardens. Would highly recommend Ard Darach Lodge.
We've now stayed at Gate Cottage four times, twice this year and the cottage is fantastic and in the perfect location to explore Argyll but also relax and unwind. The reason we book Gate Cottage is due to it being all on one level and pet friendly, however on both occasions this year (and I think when we visited last year) the gate and fence at the front of the property have been broken presumably in one of the storms and cannot be closed and secured. Apart from this it's the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Excellent accommodation. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. The only drawback is the three flights of stairs so you need to have good mobility to stay here. Good value for money.
We loved our stay here at Nursery Cottages. Tranquil, peaceful and a great view from the cottage. Great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of life to chill out. Loved the log burner in the cosy living room. Spent quality time with my family here. Brilliant stay.
A fantastic house in a brilliant location. We had a lovely weekend at Aldersyde last weekend. The house is so comfortable, its like a home from home. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, living room is lovely and cosy, bathrooms are gorgeous and the games room was great. The kitchen and utility have everything you need and there is so much fridge space. Loads of crockery and glassware and plastic glasses for outside. The deck area is spacious and comfortable and the views there are spectacular. The hot tub was great too. Cannot wait to return here, was such a relaxing and fun weekend
Excellent location, very well equipped, spacious, this is a great base for a family holiday. Plenty of bathrooms, large shared areas, terrace and beach …and beautiful views.
Peaceful and atmospheric location by the sea and all you could need for drawing and paining in the studio. A wonderful place!
The flat was spotlessly clean and was warm and comfortable. Ideally situated for us. Superb views over the loch as the flat was right on the sea front. The flat was well equipped and was lovely . The only thing was the details on the information sheet for wi-fi did not work . My brother and I were there for just the weekend for an event so were not to bothered, but just thought the owners would like to know. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We are just back from a week staying in Amber Lodge and would highly recommend it to others. The lodge was spotless on arrival and set up to be very comfortable with everything we needed for a weeks stay. The balconies were a lovely spot to have morning coffee and watch the wildlife, plus, being enclosed meant it was a worry free place for our dog to be with us. We had a lovely view of the Holy Loch too. The wood burner was especially nice in the evenings as we had some damp weather and could cosy up to watch movies. We did not use many facilities on the site but the walk to the pub/resta...more
We stayed for a week in August and just loved this house. The location is private with fantastic views of the Firth of Clyde from the living room and deck. The house was spotless and had everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the private walk down to the beach and through the nearby forested area. There are a number of excellent restaurants in Inverkip and Largs and the nearby train station made getting into Glasgow easy. It was a fantastic week and we will be dreaming of this house for a long time!
We stayed at the Burnside property for 4 nights during our family visit to Tighnabruaich. The accommodation suited our needs perfectly as we had 3 generations ranging from the age of 19 to 84 sharing the apartment. The apartment was clean, tidy and stylishly furnished with added homely touches. The beds were comfortable and clean and the bed linen and towels provided were immaculate. The location was ideal and just a short walk to all of the local amenities including a well stocked supermarket and cafes serving delicious home baking. The view from the property was simply stunning an...more
I stayed with my parents for a week in Dunbheag Cottage in September. It was simply stunning. The quality of fixtures and fittings were the best I have ever seen in a rental. The property was immaculately clean and had everything you could possibly need for a stay. Comfortable beds and quality bedding too. We were lucky to have a few beautiful days where we could sit on the deck and just watch the boats on the loch. I wanted to explore this part of Scotland but it was hard to tear yourself away from that view!. A fabulous week was had and I would love to return.
Excellent location very peaceful. Eileen very helpful. Scenery absolutely beautiful. Would recommend.
We had a lovely week in this very comfortable holiday home. Spacious, cosy , comfy beds. Generous sized dining room , great kitchen ( tho knives could be sharpened please!) Bathrooms were good & plenty of hot water.
Had a lovely stay at Inverfyne cottage. Very comfortable and in a great location. The host, Tuggy, is a delight.
We stayed a week at Rhoda's Cottage end of May 2026. It was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. Part of a grand house with gardens on the edge of a sea loch. It is comfortable, well decorated, full of style and on the edge of a tranquill sea loch. Very friendly staff of the house made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.
Stayed here to vist family lovely cottage , felt could been blinds at windows living room draw night very open , our peace was desturbed by upstairs hammering , banging an drilling on fri an sat , overall wauld stay here again hopefully be peaceful, I also feel some logs could been provided no just show , clean an comfortable cottage .loverly viwes also no outside lights .
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.
The cottage is small but well equipped and comfortable, had everything I needed. Good base for lots of walks. Mark was really friendly and helpful. Have stayed before and plan to stay again next year.
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.
All the essentials provided - working kitchen, laundry, toilet/shower in a relatively clean state. Customer service was excellent, which was really reassuring. Respectful neighbours. The location was not too far from the town centre and river bank. Dunoon is a lovely and quiet place. I would pick this place again if I were to come back. Only downside: limited street parking.
We had a very enjoyable three nights at Newton Cottage South. Excellent location and very comfortable accommodation.
We did not expect such a remote and beautiful location where you can unwind and enjoy nature. We went for very long walks and enjoyed evenings in front of the log fire. So much to see and yet take your time whilst doing it. A place to restore and revive!!!
Gorgeous view across Loch Long, peaceful location and the cottages nicely spaced so you feel alone. Beds comfortable and log burner so great nights in front of the fire. I would only add the condiments are in sachets so we bought our own olive oil and butter from a local supermarket in Dunoon, so if you like to cook you might want to bring some items with you. Definitely will return.
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!
great location overlooking the sea near to local amenities with good access to walking routes and public transport to enjoy sightseeing
Lovely peaceful setting and has everything you need. Only minor issues we had was bedroom was lovely but not much room to move and shower was a bit temperamental and was sometimes a problem to regulate but nothing a bit of patience didnt sort. Unfortunately we never got to use the hot tub due to swarms of midges which was just one of them things. Overall if your looking for peace and quiet its great and recommend feeding the birds as there is a bird feeder. Was lovely to watch and had a red squirrel visiting most days. Only 20 minutes from Dunoon and recommend the Lorne for food but its advisa...more
There are a number of steps to negotiate (so not ideal if you have mobility issues), but this only enhances the view you get from the property which is wonderful. Beds are very comfortable and there is a great downstairs shower. Nice couple of local pubs serving good food.
Very enjoyable week, spoilt somewhat by weather. Everything else very good, local amenities good, area lived up well as a sea food paradise.
A beautiful view from the window is the USP of this property. Could do with brightening up inside & maybe more comfortable furniture in the sitting room (weather was awful so we were inside more) Having said that it had everything we needed. No housekeeping notices though. Sleeps 4 adults is pushing it unless it is only a base for sleeping. The location is ideal- so central to the village. A well stocked shop close by & cafes & bars/ restaurants a short distance away. Locals very friendly & helpful.
A fantastic house, wonderful views, great location. Would definitely return. Thoroughly enjoyed spotting otters and a seal right outside the house!
As seasoned well travelled Scottish travellers we were aware of the surrounding location. We also have holidayed in many modern chalets and lodges. This lodge lounge provided basic facilities with a 2 seater sofa and tiny tv. A dining table is worn around the edges and with chairs. No microwave and a hot water tap in place of a kettle. Modern kitchen. Bedrooms had double beds. The lodge lacks colour and softness. No magazines, books or any literature. No visitors comments book. And no childrens toys if required. The decking is superb but weather permitting. A log burner would bring a glow to t...more
The cabin is in a good, quiet location on the village with a good view. Easy self check-in. Cabin nicely furnished and very clean. Comfy beds ensured a good nights sleep. Close to local facilities in Dunoon and plenty to see in the surrounding area. I would suggest you take your own towels. Our second visit.
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
We were advised to use the private residents access road and it was in a disgusting state full of pot holes some very deep that the car dipped, loose gravel and my partner was worried about what it was doing to his car when using it. The main bedroom the wardrobe would not open, the doors were stuck so had to use twin room unit, the bathroom especially the shower door kept coming off their runners so had to keep one closed and squeeze in and the toilet was quite low down so anyone with mobility problems might find that difficult to use. The kitchen especially the oven, someone probably a previ...more
We’ve stayed in this lodge many years now, something new or updated every year. Lovely new patio windows this year. Always clean with everything you might need. Fabulous views and many deer sightings. Food and entertainment at Hunters Arena very good too
A wonderfully comfortable and luxurious house in a stunning location. Lots to do in the local area. Highly recommended!
Musselshell is a lovely lodge in a great location, overlooking Loch Fyne. Warm & cosy with comfortable sofas and beds - a little tired in places but met our needs. Views from the lodge are wonderful & the large estate grounds are interesting to wander through. We fed and really enjoyed watching the woodland birds on the decking. Saw lots of seabirds on the loch too. We fished on a couple of evenings and took late night walks along the estate roads, looking and listening out for wildlife, also caught footage of a badger in the garden on our trail camera, having put out some peanuts to see what...more
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.
This was our second visit to the cottage and we enjoyed another glorious 5 days. The cottage has everything needed for a relaxing stay. Ideally located for exploring the area, our highlight this time was Ostel beach.
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
Had a lovely week in Larch Cottage Fantastic location overlooking the loch and so quiet. Cottage had everything we needed although information folder could do with an update. Loved the wood burner.
We enjoyed a wonderful week at The Lookout. The property was modern well equipped and very comfortable. The views across the loch to the hills beyond are excellent. The only slight problem was the steps at the rear. My partner has arthritis and found these rather difficult.
We enjoyed the week in Seascape very much. The apartment is comfortable and peaceful. It's huge merit is the view from the living room window of the Kyle and the ever changing sky over the Isle of Bute, . It is unfortunate that the blind obsures so much of the window. To raise the apartment to 5 out of 5, the plumbing needs updating. We gave up on using the water boiler because the water pressure is too low; to fill the kitchen sink was slow, and the bath impossible. The old sink taps in the bathroom are cobbled together, leaving protruding sharp edges of screws. To feel so remote, and yet ...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.
Lovely lodge in stunning area, very well equipped and all the comforts of home. Ideal base for exploring the area. Red squirrels and deer in the area
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 ;-).
