Cottage vacation rentals in Argyll and Bute Council

Flew in from Toronto, Canada to this beautiful home away from home. Barbara, Graeme (and Rosie) were extremely hospitable and welcoming hosts. The cottage has everything you need. Lovely, comfortable linens and beds, clean and modern bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, and great and private hot tub. The location is very rural, but easy to find with google maps. The town of Kilburnie is close by with a grocery store, gas station and pharmacy among other amenities.

A comfortable house exactly as described. Each room was very spacious with great views on one side out to the water. Kitchen was well equipped for a large group. Very quiet location within walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops.

We enjoy this cottage so much that this is the 3rd time we have been. The perfect place to relax.

Beautiful little cottage, garden and surroundings. After a stressful and long few months establishing a relocated business it was lovely to let go and do nothing in peace! The repurposed and upcycled features are gorgeous and the garden was perfect for our inquisitive and active dog to entertain himself without worry of him getting out. Sitting on the veranda with wine and the fire-pit going whilst watching the rain was just perfect (for me, a weird inclement weather lover!).

This is the second visit for us it a wee hidden jem. We thought it could not get any better the exra personal touches spot on thought of everything. We enjoyed our stay very much. Host can't do enough for you would highly recommend this place comfortable beds good shower spotlessly clean comfortable place to stay OH not forgetting Lovely hot tub thank you 😀 5 🌟+

Fab place to stay in Loch Long. The scenery is beautiful and there’s plenty to keep you busy. The cottage was lovely and highly recommend

A thoughtful use of the space within the cottage. A few niggles with lights not working & no local electrician available. Lots of local information. The hot tub is well worth the time it takes to heat up. A great spot for a short break.

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage. Very clean and well equipped for the children. Lovely outlook and very peaceful.

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it was a lovely cosy space, with everything we could need. Particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, and the washing/drying facilities for soggy walking clothes! Lorna was super friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again on Arran!

We absolutely adored our stay here. It was very comfortable and cozy, felt like home instantly. Walking distance to a wonderful restaurant that had been recommended. Mairi met us and was very welcoming and showed us around the property. Great amenities, very accurate description of property given. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you for having us!

Have just spent a few days at Ashburn cottage & it was lovely. The cottage was very comfortable with everything you could need & had fabulous views of the loch & mountains. The weather was cold, crisp & sunny so was stunning, we did have a wee flurry of snow. Loved the log burner, so cosy!! Had a lovely meal at the Goil Inn & The Boat Shed cafe a definite for a visit! Will hope to be back again soon 👍

I book for members of staff: guest who stayed reported it was clean, in a lovely setting, and he'd be very happy if he'd to return to the area to stay there again.

Stunning cottage with a real home from home feel. The cottage was very clean on arrival and check in was a breeze. The artwork inside was particularly special to look at. Hope to be back.

This was the most incredibly beautiful property in a stunning location. Pier Cottage is so private and peaceful with views over Loch Striven where you can sit and relax whilst watching the array of wildlife around you or take the kayak out on the loch. The cottage was extremely comfortable and well appointment with everything you would need for you stay. If you are looking for somewhere to unplug from the world and completely relax - this is the ideal place.

Lovely place to stay in the middle of Bowmore. Great base for walking, cycling etc. on Islay. Lovely house with a stream through the garden.

Lovely cottage, very clean and had everything we needed. Nicola was lovely and really helpful

Beautiful cottage which has been really thoughtfully designed. For a family of four it was perfect and the scenery is beyond breathtaking.

Jane's cottage was exactly as described and immaculate - like a home from home. Easy to find, easy to park at. Great location for the many local attractions - we stayed a few days - we could have had a few weeks worth of things to see. Cottage is beautiful and in a perfect location for exploring locally or regionally. Beautiful, pristine accommodation with garden area and direct walking access to historical rock art sites and the canal. Thoughtfully chosen guide books available to help guests choose things to see. Lochgilphead close by with good takeaways (Argyll Cafe, Taj Mahal) , cafes (Salty Dog) and a CoOp open till 10pm. Really loved the cottage and the area, highly recommend.

What a beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings! Fraser Cottage is the perfect home away from home, with everything you could want or need. The log fire was amazing after a day of walking on nearby beaches! Our dog Mabel absolutely loved the surrounding gardens and laying by the fire too! Philippa and Ninian were so helpful and friendly throughout our stay and we look forward to coming to stay again!

A real gem of a cottage, spacious and cosy at the same time. Fabulous river at bottom of garden which kids can paddle/swim in. Great location in middle of island so everything accessible. Super comfortable beds and great tips in visitor book! Book this if your dates are available!!!

Arrivain has to be seen to be believed. If you want fresh air, peace and quiet in a beautiful cottage with a very friendly host who also respects your privacy you’ll struggle to find anywhere better. The attention to detail of Jacqui & Jeff is exceptional, fresh flowers, local produce (and homemade) in a welcome pack were amazing. The beautiful surroundings were a pleasure to wake up to every morning. If you want a real retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life this is definitely it. I think we’ll be back!

The cottage is in a beautiful location, with walking from the door and useful nearby amenities in Strachur. The space is well thought out and the garden and seating lovely to enjoy a cup of tea in the sunshine. The bed was lovely and comfy and the shower was great too! Well equipped kitchen for self catering, we also tried The Creggans Inn and had a lovely meal there especially the local seafood. Highlights for us were walking the Cowal way from the door toward Curran Lochain which makes a beautiful spot for a picnic and visiting Inverary and castle.

The cottage was pristine The beds and bed linen was so comfy in all rooms Very private and lovely layout to the house very spacious

Amazing stay, the cottage is beautifully and carefully decorated to immediately transport you to the beach. There are great amenities in the cottage if you want to disconnect and enjoy. There’s an amazing reading space in the annex, and the disc player helped us unplug from our usual playlists! There’s also plenty of natural beauty in the garden and the nearby area to enjoy. Heather was an amazing host that offered us so much help after we had some car troubles during our stay. She made a bad situation a bit better with her patience and understanding. 10/10 :D
