This is a lovely flat and with some small changes could be perfect. The living room, kitchen, master bedrooms were beautiful. There were a few issues though in contrast:
1. Smaller double bedroom I was not convinced the sheets were freshly laundered. I washed all bedding the next day relieved it was a dry day.
2. No crisp 100% cotton bedding instead bobbled, cheap. Give your guests hotel standard. Believe me it’s noticed.
3. We had to rush out to buy loo roll. 1 roll for a family of 4 was not sufficient.
4. The sofas definitely need more cushions for comfort.
5. Would have been nice to have shower gel.
6. Impossible to wash in the bathroom sink. Think it’s the smallest ever!
7. Badly needs a bathroom cabinet for toiletries.
This is an honest review of what is a beautiful light filled flat, with stunning views, but the small things do matter.

We are sorry that you felt the bedding was not freshly laundered. We take pride in ensuring the apartment is cleaned thoroughly and that includes fitting freshly laundered bedroom sheets close to when the next occupants are checking in.
The bedding is fairly new and not poor quality so this is a surprise to hear.
We usually keep spare toilet roll in the small cupboard, by the toilet. Apologies if this wasn’t the case.
We do provide sofa cushions for the leather sofas, apologies if this wasn’t to your satisfaction and comfort.
We have utilised the shower room for space. We feel the electric shower and sink opposite is adequate for washing. There is a cabinet beneath the bathroom sink for toiletries.
As this a self-catering holiday let, we do not provide any toiletries.
Thanks, for your feedback and apologies for any inconvenience.

A well equipped apartment for two of us to stay - as shown in the photographs on the site. The highlight was sitting in the chairs in the window seat.
Good communication from the owners about getting into the property and ideas of walks etc.
I think if the beds were full (it can sleep 5) the small bathroom and fitting around the kitchen table might have been an issue but for the two of us it was great.
Peaceful and relaxing...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Findhorn Upper Apartment, and I can confidently say that it was a delightful experience. From start to finish, my time there was marked by comfort, tranquility, and a sense of ease.
The living area was spacious and thoughtfully arranged, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful area. The view from the front window was a pleasure to behold with my morning cuppa and a slice of toast!
The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep.
The peacefulness of the Findhorn Upper Apartment cannot be overstated. Located in a quiet location with pub a 20 minute walk away. It was the perfect setting for a peaceful getaway, allowing me to fully recharge and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
What truly impressed me was how well-equipped the apartment was. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare meals, and the modern appliances made cooking a breeze.
Overall, my stay at the Findhorn Upper Apartment was thoroughly enjoyable. It provided all the comforts of home in a peaceful and picturesque setting. Whether you're looking for a relaxing retreat or a base for exploring the area, I highly recommend this apartment for its comfort, tranquility, and excellent amenities. It truly made my visit a memorable and enjoyable one.
Super flat, wonderful location

The flat was very well fitted out and very comfortable. The views from the living room bay window and from the main bedroom, across the Kyles of Bute, were beautiful.

I rented Findhorn Upper Apartment for a week for some much needed time out. The contact from Argyll Holidays and the owners direct was timely and helpful. The apartment was perfectly situated and i could sit in that bay window all day. The bed was exceptionally comfy and the kitchen well stocked. I'm already working out when we can come back as a family! A brilliant find in a great location!
Lovely apartment with great sea view in quiet Kames

Lovely apartment freshly decorated with fabulous view. Very comfortable sitting room with an efficient heating system.
However,the second double bedroom is tight on space and the shower room sink is tiny.
The kitchen does not have a chopping/breadboard which had been mentioned before but still not supplied.
Great location

Gorgeous views onto the water from a lovely large lounge. Great equipped kitchen for easy entertainment.
Brilliant location with great food serving hotel within walking distance.
The only negatives were the shower room was constantly wet due to a gap at the bottom of the shower door.
Also the second double bedroom was very small and impractical for 2 adults to sleep comfortably, however, the single room was there and was useful.
I must say that the above did not in any way spoil our holiday, but worth mentioning in case any larger people were wanting to stay .
The information provided was great and the owners were very helpful and clearly have spent a lot of time and love on the property.
Absolutely perfect

I really cannot say enough good things about this beautiful apartment. Firstly, it is in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. We discovered Argyll and Bute last year and were absolutely blown away by its beauty and swore to go back and when we saw Findhorn we were really excited to return. The first thing that strikes you is the location. You are right on the water on the Kyles of Bute and the apartment has its own private pebble beach. The view from the living room window is breathtaking and you could just spend hours sitting looking at the view. The apartment itself is very clean and comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything - wonderfully comfy beds with squashy pillows and fluffy duvets, a really well stocked kitchen, beautiful decor....it feels really homely and welcoming. We loved the property so much we spent a lot of time around it walking, kayaking, running so we didn't really venture out that far. The Kames Hotel is down the road and a lovely place for a drink and Tighnabruich is also only 2 miles away and a lovely walk with lots more bars and restaurants if you are looking to eat out. I would thoroughly recommend the apartment to anyone in a heartbeat.
