Stephanie and Adrian were the perfect hosts. We were made very welcome from the minute we arrived. The bedroom and ensuite are first class and homely and finished to a high standard. The Scottish breakfast is to die for and served in a wonderful light room with far reaching views. Crinan Ferry is a beautiful part of the world and a great place to get away, chill and relax and also to explore the surrounding historic area.

Our stay was wonderful...every detail was considered to make our stay comfortable and pleasurable...the location,the views, the house is beautiful. We had a really lovely bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The claw foot bath sits under a dormer window so you can watch the sky whilst you soak in a lovely bubble bath supplied by Stephanie. Then there's the guest sitting room with massive oak framed Windows and lovely views over the valley and the moors. Then there's the food! Organic, local,expertly prepared. I recommend having dinner there, its extra but worth it. I had venison and chocolate mousse served by Adrian at our own table surrounded by candle light at our own table...We also had a fantastic massage- and I am hard to impress when it comes to massage! Crinan is a magical part of Scotland, great walks, seafood and history and Stephanie's place made it even more memorable....

Our second visit to Stephanie's place. Why? Just go and find out for yourselves. Rest-assured, you won't be disappointed.

We were looked after incredibly well, the surroundings were beautiful and the room was excellent, just like in the picture.

Wonderful hosts in wonderful house all set in the most ridiculous location. Well worth a visit. Had an amazing stay, make sure you take up the offer of the dinner, incredible food all cooked by themselves. 5 stars is not enough.

Visiting Adrian and Stephanie is absolutely amazing. A beautiful house in a great spot. Behind the house we saw the most beautiful setting sun. Adrian advise you of interesting places to visit. Stephanie can cook delicious. In the evening you can chill out in the cozy living room with a great view.

A beautiful place and experience. The house and room are gorgeous and so well cared for and thought out and the location is stunning.

This is the perfect retreat for a quiet, well earned weekend or holiday! You are well looked after from the minute you arrive until you leave. The most perfect location for scenery! And not to mention a beach to yourself!

James was a friendly, welcoming host with a passion and knowledge of the local area. He gave us valuable tips and plans which added to our enjoyable stay at Mheall Cottage. The room was a good size to fit 2 suitcases. Shower roomy with hot water. A separate breakfast/ reading room provided more space. Breakfast was free to prepare yourself at any time with cereal, toast and jam plus a coffee plunger. Parking on site and good wifi was a plus.

James you spoilt us for the rest of our trip. Brilliant host and local tips. Such a large comfy room. bliss.

We really enjoyed our short stay with James. He really struck the balance well between being very welcoming but also giving us the space to do our own thing. The cottage felt really comfortable and was situated in a truly idyllic location with lambs grazing in the field directly outside the bedroom window. Thanks to his family history in Argyll, James spent time with us in the morning chatting and sharing his considerable knowledge of the local area. We would definitely stay here again when in this part of Scotland.

James is a very welcoming host who took the time to greet us, talk with us on different matters. His cottage is located in a corner of wild Scotland between land and water. An isolated place near the port of Crinan where you can eat, drink and enjoy, with a little luck, a gorgeous sunset. The room is very comfortable with a beautiful view of nature and wildlife. We had a very pleasant but too short stay. I advise you to stop at James.

This place was a great discovery, although secluded, cottage provides an opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside while enjoying all the comfort needed on site. James is very friendly and will give you plenty of advice to visit places auquels you would not think to go. I highly recommend this place!

All the best, even though we only very late in the evening reached the quarters, James gave us a "warm welcome". The room and the breakfast room is very clean, very caring James, all as described and the price is also ok. We will like to come back ...

James was very welcoming and lovely, making us feel at ease and comfortable. He was easy to contact and answered our questions in seconds. Also he had great suggestions for activities and experiences in the area and helped us to find a good restaurant for dinner. We really loved our room. It was big and cozy with a comfortable bed and great pillows. Everything was spotlessly clean and modern and the breakfast offered was lovely. We even had our own fridge to putt our stuff in. We would love to come back again and highly recommend his place to others.

James is a great host! He gave us a warm welcome and had lots of good tips about the area. Great place, with lots of historical sites to visit. James recommend a good restaurant in the neighborhood wich was really nice! The room is really cozy, everything is brand new! We had a great sleep. We recomended you stay here! Thank you James!

Chris and Helen were wonderful hosts; welcoming, helpful and kind. They gave us great advice on what to do in the area. We were provided with detailed info sheets, typed up by the hosts on the local area, where to go walking, where to eat, activities to do etc. The cabin was more than we could have ever expected, an idyllic spot, very comfortable and cosy, and beautifully decorated, with fresh flowers. A delicious breakfast was provided - especially the freshly laid eggs! We had an extra mattress on the floor which Helen and Chris kindly provided, which worked well. We wish we could have stayed for longer!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Helen and Chris have a little gem which is perfect for short romantic breaks. Its walking distance from all the fantastic historic sites of the area and we could have stayed for a week. The cabin is well laid out and the facilities perfect for breaks away. The beds are really warm and cosy and clean. Very snug when the rain is battering the outside! Helen and Chris are great hosts and totally get it - if your looking for a quiet break to relax look no further !

Staying at the cabin in Kilmartin was an absolute marvellous experience. Chris and Helen gave us the warmest welcome and mafe us feel at home straight away. The cabin is an absolute gem to everyone looking for a hideaway and some time to recharge the batteries. Being tucked away in nature it creates a romantic atmosphere, yet providing all the comfort you need. A wooden stowe oven, a bath tub and very comfortable beds :) Kilmartin itself has a beautiful countryside and we followed Helens and Chris' suggestions and went on a hike to the sea. It was absolutely stunning! Throughout our whole stay the two provided all the help, guidance and company we needed to make this trip an absolute unique experience. Thank you so much!

Lovely, secluded cabin in a beautiful part of Kilmartin Glen. Chris and Helen are extremely kind and friendly hosts; they went out of their way to look after everyone in our group. For us the little cabin was the perfect place to stay - rustic, cozy and full of charm. Highly recommended.

Excellent location for checking out Kilmartin's ancient monuments, visiting the Knapdale forest and the Crimean Canal. Plenty of heating, and lots of little touches to make you feel at home. Great to be able to relax in the garden with a wine at the end of a busy day!

Chris's cottage was great ! Very senic & historic area of scotland. Chris was very helpful & a great host . The cottage is very cozy and we'll supplied. I would stay again. The nabours were very friendly and helpful.

We were made to feel very welcome at lock 6 cottage. Lex sent clear access instructions and left one of his own greetings card to welcome us. Everything was as described and looks even better in reality. We liked discovering the many collections and artworks which were cleverly displayed around the rooms. The kitchen was particularly well equipped. There is a very good supermarket a short drive away where we bought our supplies. The area is distinctive and it was fun to explore. We found plenty to do during our brief stay. I would recommend the cottage as a comfortable, cosy base from which to explore the area.

The Cottage Lex is a very peaceful and cozy. We had a very nice time we were able to recharge despite the time which was not at the rendezvous. But we learned Lex here is a Scottish proverb: "there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes". What a pleasure to watch the boats in the locks from the kitchen window or walking along the canal. The setting is gorgeous. We highly recommend this property. Moreover Lex and Brenda, our hosts were very attentive and extremely kind. Thank you for your advice and perhaps soon ...

The location is lovely. My partner and I plus our dog really enjoyed ourselves . The cottage is lovely and full of surprises. There is plenty of nostalgia in the cottage to immerse yourself in ,like Oor Willie or the Broons ...lol..If you like cooking there is is a great selection of spices in the kitchen.The House Guide is great. If you like seafood then get yourself down to Shipness. Great value for money and very different. Well Lex & Brendan I felt by the time we left we knew you both. Every one in the Area knows you both. Met Bob who hangs in the Cairnbaan Hotel. Think he must have been drinking a lot of Red Bull as its put wings on his head. I enjoyed speaking with Fraser MacIver who I found while walking along the canal. Interesting Artist who from Montreal and we spoke for hours as I have a condo out there. Anyway guys thanks for letting us stay at your home . We would love to come again as there is lots more to do and we only had 4 days. Cant give you too much of a good write up as we will never be able to book your place a again as youll be fully booked out. Enjoy France. As Arnold Schwarzenegger would say I,ll be Back ....Hey Lex Perhaps you can paint my Working Cocker for me as we loved the painting of your dog in the bedroom. Kid regards Roman Ps Dont worry I didnt drink your whiskey collection but I did enjoyed looking through them. Hope to met both of you sometime.

We had a great time staying at Lex and Brendan's beautiful cottage. It was exactly as described and as it appeared in the photographs. The cottage is lovely and the location right beside the canal is very interesting. What a lovely place to spend some quality time in beautiful surroundings - thank you.

Lex's cottage is a truly special place - amazing location with the lock right on the doorstep and views along the canal. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, clean and well organised, comfortable bedrooms, spacious lounge and dining and just that little bit quirky with Lex's artwork and collections. Communication was prompt, friendly and accurate - would definately recommend a stay here and would love to come back.

We stayed here as we were visiting family near by for Christmas. We have walked past this cottage for many years thinking how lovely it looks, so it was great to have a reason to stay. It's a great spot and is much bigger than it appears from the outside!

What a lovely sweet cottage. Quirky and very comfortable. It's in a very pretty place and we had a super walk to Crinan and back along the towpath. Lochgilphead is a nice little town with good shops. Many thanks Lex and Brendan.

Lovely, cosy and interesting cottage right by the canal. The local hotel is a very short walk along the road and we had a lovely meal there. There was everything we needed for cooking, a cosy peat/ wood burning stove and lovely sun room to sit and eat in. The cottage is full of great pictures (many by Lex!) and interesting collectables. It was a wonderful place to spend a couple of days and a good base for exploring nearby sights.

A fantastic wee cottage! Location right on the canal is perfect for walks. The cottage is spacious and well equipped with a good kitchen and sky HD. The hot tub out the back is also excellent however make sure you bring midge repellant if you plan on using it in the evening!!! Thanks Davina for a great stay

Very clean and welcoming cottage in a lovely area. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break and will add Davina's to our list of places to return to. Missing that hot tub already!

Stunning cottage, beautiful location and scenery, fantastic welcome pack, very reasonably priced, lovely town, stunning walks and overall just amazing!!

Lovely place to stay. Couldn't reccomend it highly enough

Davina's cottage is fantastically placed for exploring the area with fantastic Forrest walks or 5mile in each direction canal walk. It's situated next to a very friendly run hotel with fantastic food. The cottage itself is lovely with everything you could need and more hot tub sky tv etc I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

Lovely, warm, welcoming, comfortable place to stay and in a great location too. Thankyou Davina for letting us stay in your home. Would highly recommend to others and would love to come back.

A great place to stay for a peaceful break with great scenery. Davina was very helpful and the welcome pack answered any questions without having to enquire further. Great value for money break

Had a lovely stay at Davinas place. It's in a really quiet location, the hotel next door was nice to pop in for a drink and walks good for the dog. The house was really lovely, spacious and everything kept to a high standard. Instructions for everything really clear. The hot tub was awesome!

Maggie's place was great. It's set in a very scenic location and is exactly as described. Very clean and comfortable and plenty of space. Maggie was really responsive and her communication made everything very straightforward. Would def recommend staying at her place.

Great place to stay in Kilmartin.

Maggie's flat was everything you could ask for. Easy parking, house had plenty of room. The host was even kind enough to leave coffee and some snacks for us! Thanks Maggie!

We were delighted to be the first Airbnb guests to stay in Maggie's lovely home, and felt very comfortable there. Great amenities and in an extraordinarily beautiful part of the world. Would recommend to others who would like to sample what felt like genuine and warm Highland hospitality. And the bagpipe playing and dancing in the local pub on Hogmanay was brilliant! We had a brilliant walk on New Year's Day through the Taynish nature reserve. Thank you for hosting us Maggie and best of luck with future guests :-)

Maggie's flat is packed with character and strikes the balance perfectly between quality and being able to relax and feel at home. The living space has plenty of room and the large windows and high ceilings let lots of light in and add to the spacious feel. Maggie was a great host and answered any questions I had promptly. The bedrooms and bathroom are a good size and the kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. Kilmartin is a great base for exploring the local area and the local pub is welcoming, serving good food in generous portions. We would not hesitate in recommending Maggie's place and would definitely return.

Maggie's home is ideally situated for exploring Kilmartin Glen . The house is very comfortable and she has very generously thought through the details of what people might need. We just used one room and the bed /bedlinen were very comfortable . Maggie left us some breakfast items in the fridge too. Both of us loved this spacious home which is full of character and very nicely decorated. Thankyou Maggie.

Maggie's place is warm and welcoming and slap bang in the middle of delightful village of Kilmartin. We loved our stay there. Maggie provided us with everything we could want and more, including bacon and eggs, donuts and home made marmalade. It's a perfect place to explore the area, which, with its cairns and standing stones/stone circles/castles and forts, is fascinating. We ate in the Kilmartin hotel, which is a two minute walk away and had tasty food, which was also great value for money, We also visited the wonderful Kilmartin Museum and had lunch at the museum cafe. The food was equally yummy and to be recommended. Overall, a big thanks to Maggie for her hospitality, and for her super quick responses to my texts/emails. We look forward to a return visit :)

Maggies place was a great location in Kilmartin! Close to everything in town. What a beautiful location!

Our stay at Jane's cottage was exactly what we needed. Peaceful, cosy, well equipped and situated in beautiful idyllic spot. Jane was a fantastic host, who have clear instructions and was on hand if we needed anything. The home baking was a yummy unexpected bonus! Thank you very much.

Byre Cottage was a wonderful location to get away and enjoy some down time. Everything was as described. The cottage was warm and cozy and surrounded by natural beauty. Jane was a fabulous host. Her experience hosting clearly showed in all the details of preparation. We hope to return again.

We spent a fantastic couple of days at Seafield Cottages. The property is beautifully decorated and incredibly cosy. Would happily recommend to others.

This was a fantástic base from which to explore the west coast. Our house was immaculate and well equipped for cooking with a few staples to get us started. Jane was a helpful and attentive host.

We had a lovely stay at Seafield farm exploring the local area in all its beauty. Our late arrival was accommodated and we arrived to a cosy cottage with a beautiful cake waiting for us. The cottage fitted the description perfectly and I should imagine would be lovely and cosy in winter although we were blessed with great weather! It was well equipped and we weren't short of entertainment in the form of games, magazines and DVDs which we enjoyed! The local area was beautiful perfect haven from the rat race we were wanting to escape! Our hosts were lovely, very helpful and honest with reccommendations on where to go and what to do.

We had a lovely break over Easter at Byre Cottage. It is exactly as described and such a beautiful location. We were very comfortable and Jane was a great host and very accommodating. There is so much to do and see in the local area but if you want peace and quiet then this is the place for you.

Great hosts ,very friendly, brilliant location if you like peace and quiet

Seafield Cottages - perfect location for a relaxing get away from it all break. Well equipped, with everything you could ever need in a home away from home. Jane was a great host, keeping a low profile unless you needed her. Great value - we'll definately be back.

This is a magical castle! We were greeted by Louise (the castle manager) and there was a lovely basket of goodies for us to start out our breakfasts for the week. The grounds are beautiful and the castle is nicely appointed with each room having it's own character and appeal. We thoroughly enjoyed the record player with the fine collection of tunes, the Scotch's and made a few fires while we there there as well. The pub and museum were within a short walk and both have great food. All the local villagers are so friendly and happy. We hiked to see the 4,000 yr old rock carvings (Ormaig) and it was amazing trekking across the countryside of Scotland. I highly recommend staying at the castle, you will not be disappointed !

What a great castle experience! Just the right balance of proper castle and mod cons. Check in and communication were great, lovely welcome pack and a great rea to explore. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be king/queen/prince/princess for a few days.

Amazing Castle! Fantastic stay!

I don't think there are many chances to live in a castle this way. The necessary modern luxuries of soft linens and nearby eateries (wifi at the pub) are there but so is the original lifestyle: wake at light, 4 foot clearances, stone walls and echoes. Stef and Simon have added fun and unique touches like a turntable and variety of records, generous welcome basket, photos of the castle restoration, and lawn games. The village is perfect for a 4-night stay: 2 delicious eateries, lots of (hikes to) historic and natural sights, concentration of artists (including Simon), friendly folks, farm animals sharing the roads, even beaches. This is a unique experience only pulled off by Louise, the very accommodating onsite property manager. We thank her, Simon and Stef for a rare culmination to our UK holiday.

I can not praise Simon and Stef/Maisie and Louise highly enough!-everyone made us feel so at ease with really useful insights to the local area. The castle was just AMAZING - a really piece of heaven in the corner of Scotland - it more than met our expectations - we got the open fire on, put a little bit of frank on the vinyls and had a glass in hand and it was pure bliss, so peaceful. The castle has so many cool quirks and we could have cooked up a storm in the kitchen - so many pots/pans/utilises to hand .... could honestly have stayed in there for a week and not complained once

We were met at the castle by Louise, who was so sweet and welcoming. She showed us around & explained some of the things that we would need to know while staying in a 16th century castle. There was a wonderful basket of local goods on the kitchen table which were amazing. The castle was just magical, and the countryside was gorgeous. There's a local gift shop/coffee shop/museum within a few blocks walk, as well as a restaurant/pub that serves delicious meals. This was an excellent opportunity to combine the unique experience of staying in a medieval castle with the modern comforts we're accustomed to. I loved this castle and the wonderful people in this area & can not wait to go back...hopefully for a bit longer of a stay!

We had the most perfect stay in Kilmartin Castle, where we got married last week. The castle itself is utterly magical, so cosy and beautifully decorated. Kilmartin is a lovely, friendly village - Richard and Magda in the pub couldn't have been nicer and even bought us a round of drinks on our wedding day. Louise who looks after the castle is lovely too and so helpful. The many prehistoric sites in Kilmartin Glen are stunning and we have some amazing photos. Kilmartin Castle is a really special place; we will definitely be back.

We spent 4 nights here the weekend before Christmas, and it was one of the best Christmas gifts we could have given to ourselves. I was worried that it would be too cold in the glen to explore, but it wasn't at all, and it was still very green. The castle had TONS of heaters and plenty of firewood to keep the stove going, so the cold was pretty easy to keep at bay. There were just two of us, but the layout of the castle actually works really well for just two people, it didn't feel too big, yet there was an entire floor we didn't really use, so I am sure it works wonderfully for bigger groups as well. The kitchen is VERY well-equipped, the bathtubs were HUGE with plenty of hot water, but there is a shower as well if baths aren't your thing. We loved our welcome basket, and Louise (the castle manager) was awesome and helpful. We didn't have any problems, but if we did, I felt confident that they would have been taken care of quickly. We cannot recommend this place enough! We went to Kilmartin because we saw this place on Airbnb, but we fell in love with the glen, the village, and the surrounding area. There are a few copies of a guidebook to the area in the castle, and we HIGHLY recommend "Walk 25" outlined in there to Kilmory bay and chapel ruin. It is a bit of a drive to get there, but it's gorgeous, and everything about it was perfect (even in December). Do yourself a huge favor and get this place in your life!

It has been a good choise

Friendly hosts, nice room with view over the glen. Would recommend!

Lovely place. Very clean and wonderful happy guests.

Amazing experience! Perfect location, beautifully decorated. The building itself has great character and is situated perfectly in town. Hosts were very accommodating and food was delicious!!

David and Di's place was fantastic and a welcome home from home on my cycling journey through the Argyll area. A beautiful house in a secluded and un-spoilt part of the country with plenty to do locally. Impeccably clean, a good breakfast and Di was a pleasure to chat to. Highly recommended.

Everythings was perfect. Clean, Confortable bed and very good breakfast!

What a lucky find. We stopped off in Kilmartin by chance and were so glad we did. The village is steeped in ancient history which you can explore, as is David and Di's house itself. The local pub serves top class food (5* fish & chips) and Di's custom fry for breakfast gave me a chance to sample both Lorne sausage & Haggis and set us both up for our busy day ahead. Room was clean and comfy. I would definitely stop off here again in future.

Ein sehr schön hergerichtetes und renoviertes altes Pfarrhaus mit schönem Garten, dass mit viel Liebe von David und Di gepflegt wird. Das Zimmer mit eigenem Bad war sehr hell, geräumig und sehr wohnlich eingerichtet. David und Di sind sehr angenehme Gastgeber und geben bei Bedarf viele Hinweise über die sehenswerte Umgebung. Das Frühstück war perfekt und von Di ganz nach unseren Wünschen zubereitet. Bei einer nächsten Schottlandreise würden wir wieder, wenn wir in dieser Ecke von Schottland reisen würden, bei ihnen buchen.

Ross was a very welcoming and generous host and we had a wonderful time at his property. Would recommend 10/10

The only problem with moving near is we won't be able to stay here!!!

Ross and Diana are great hosts. 500 acres of forests, lochs and open land...easy walking with the correct footwear. Dogs very welcome, but kept on the lead in the vicinity of the house....loose chickens, ducks and geese.

Ross is a nice person and the rooms are really wonderful! An unforgettable trip and I have recommended this place to my friends. If possible, I would like to visit Ross again.

We felt very relaxed in Heron Cottage. The large living room was clad in wood and you could imagine gentlemen drinking a whisky in there after a shoot. The bedroom was spacious and comfy, the shower hot and powerful. The kitchen had everything you could need and more! Ross is a very generous host and passionate about Kirnan Estate, and rightfully so as it is beautiful. Ross has various animals, and you can even get eggs from his chickens. We didn't use the Swedish BBQ hut or the Hot Tub as they didn't fit in with our plans, but both looked good and are free to use. If we return we will definitely make time for them!

Heron Cottage and the estate it calls home gave us a lovely base from which to explore the beautiful Argyll countryside. It is a sprawling property, well-manicured gardens, a babbling river & footbridge, a lux bbq hut, an even more lux hot tub, a welcoming community bar... The Appleyards are doing this right; this trip to Scotland was our most memorable and due mostly to our accommodation. We can't wait for a return visit to explore the surrounding forest and stay more around the property as it has more than enough to give a great holiday!

Great stay in beautiful surrounds. really enjoyed the hot tub and BBQ hut! Ross and Di were extremely friendly and helpful - thanks again for the loan of the wetsuit! Would definitely recommend!

A lovely cottage on a beautiful estate. Cottage was well equipped and the added extras ( wine, muffins etc) was a really welcoming touch. Ross was a charming host with lots of helpful local knowledge and fishing tips. The dogs were made welcome and made lots of new friends

everything worked out pretty perfectly. very nice guys, very nice place. can recommend it higly

Everett and Jen's place is beautiful and very well kept; made even better by the great hosts who made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. We felt like we were on a trip to visit friends! The place is located a 5minute drive from the nearest town with all the amenities you might require (including Everett and Jen's lovely little fine food store). J and E were even kind enough to let us use their kitchen to cook during our stay! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a lovely home with great hosts!

A lovely place and lovely hosts! I couldn't have asked for anything to be better. It's been a pleasure!

All in this house is perfect, with a lovely garden. We had a large bedroom, and our own bathroom. Jennifer and Everett gave us a good friendly hospitality. Our GPS coudn't find the address, but Jennifer and Everett sent us the route by mail. We found very well the house with their informations. It's a good place for visiting Scotland.

Everett and Jenni got this extraordinary home in this awesome place! Quiet and beautiful glen! Everett has been very thoughtful and helpful in providing the instruction to get to their house! We had a wonderful good night sleep and, before that, a good chat with the host and really enjoyed Everett's hospitality, whisky of the region, Isle of Islay. We definitely would love to book here again next time when we revisit the area and recommend friends to stay. Everett's thoughtful recommendation for places to see for our short stay here was wonderful and great! Everett, yes, we did hike the short trail up to the Dunadd, the Fort where the King of the Kingdom of Dal Riata rule the area! Awesome.

Again, thanks to Airbnb, a wonderful "rencontre"! Although we only met Jenn, the contact with Everett was great. A lovely couple very eager to make your stay the best possible. A great room in a lovely position...perfect for exploring the Kilmartin Glen and Crinan..etc.

What a find! Jen and Everett are brilliant hosts in their wonderful home, it felt just like a retreat. Located in the most peaceful of areas, their home is perfectly placed for local walks and a short drive to a lot of stunning views. Both were very welcoming when I arrived, showing me the house and the room and checking whether I needed anything. The room is so lovely with a huge comfy bed! I also met little rescue pup Gracie who is about as sassy as they come, she has an adorable underbites that make her look curious with life at all times and the sweetest of temperaments - she keeps herself to herself, lounging around on her pillows or on an adventure in the garden - other than if you have a biscuit or two, which is when you realise a dog can indeed perfect that look in their eyes "are you gonna eat all of that?" (Absolutely no jumping up and down, pawing at you or running about in a frenzied craze, a little bark when you arrive maybe but she's tiny and much less scarier than a toddler - for those of you who may not be doggo lovers) I used my stay as a "rest day" during a week of full driving, so spent the day around the house, walking around the local lane and picking blackberries! Jen and Everett were very accommodating and generous with their time and space. I used the kitchen to cook up the blackberries and have some fun unwinding in the kitchen! Not one eyelid batted when I made noodles from scratch - brilliant hosting skills! The views from all over the house are beautiful, with a local stream nearby and views to take in, the time passed very quickly! In the evening Jen kindly lit the open fire and settled me down with a DVD - I was so well looked after, it felt like staying with friends! Jen and Everett are passionate about the area and have a wonderful knack for telling stories. Their recommendation to visit the local historic Dunaad was excellent and allowed me to learn a little (!) as well as see some incredible sights. I would highly recommend staying with Jen and Everett in their relaxing retreat of a home.

We arrived very late because our GPS got no GPS signal hat.Als we arrived Everett and Jane welcomed us warmly, even Gracie her little dog was very happy. We were very excited to evening entertaining. The house and the rooms are very tastefully decorated. We felt very comfortable. It is secluded in a very beautiful valley. As Jane and Everett were not in the morning there, you provided us with everything for breakfast ready.

For my stay I've had the chance to choose between a hotel in central Inveraray and Bumble farmhouse and I knew that by choosing Bumble I'd have made the right choice. Adorable farmhouse clean and warm located in a nice and quiet village covered by green all over, my favorite colour. Bumble such a nice person to know and to speak with, who travelled around the world and lived abroad, open views and quiet and keen on listening and knowing people. That evening was her friend's birthday and instead of going out looking for a place to eat (even if she already gave us some hints) we've been invited to stay and have dinner with them. I enjoyed it tremendously... I still laugh if I think about the clock changing one hour backwards. Pet friendly as we are, couldn't have been different! thank you Bumble

Bumble was a great host and She immediatly made us feel like we were at home. The Room and bathroom were exactly like in the pictures. And the bed is amazing! Her recommandations for restaurants in the surroundings were very good. Just a small recommandation: before going to her place check the situation online as it is not depicted in most GPS.

We recently had a great stay over in Argyll with Bumble. Very comfortable accomodation. Bumble is a superb welcoming and friendly host and we enjoyed a lovely evening meal with her too. Thoroughly recommeneded as an airbnb location.

Extremely friendly and made us very welcome. We had a very enjoyable stay at the farmhouse in a lovely setting. Highly recommended.

Cant recommend highly enough! Bumble is a genuinely kind, warm host with some really interesting stories. I havent laughed so much in a long time! Both Bumble, and beautiful dog Blossom, really make you feel welcome and entirely at home in their lovely farmhouse. The farmhouse is in a beautiful location and inside a lovely, calm environment. Very comfy double bed. From tasty suppers cooked in the aga to "bracing" rainy walks with Blossom, a fantastic few days spent in Lochgilphead.

Bumble is a natural hostess: warm, welcoming and interesting. She also lives in a beautiful house and cooks amazing food. I really enjoyed her company in the evening and the serenity of writing in her guest room by day. This is a perfect place for anyone who likes eclectic tales, comfy rooms, peace, chatter, walking or gorgeous views.

We had a lovely stay at Bumbles farm. The farm is really beautiful and original that it feels like being far away from all trouble of the world. Our room and the bathroom was beautiful. Bumble is a great and funny host who is very friendly und helpful for wonderful trip ideas in the area around. All in all we really appreciated to stay there for a few days and got to know her with her horse and the dog. In the end we had a good scottish highland steak in her kitchen. Best recommended ever!

Our stay with Bumble started as a random shot into a big map of Scotland. From the first moment when we landed on the doorsteps of her farmhouse, we knew we found what we hoped for - friendly, funny and attentive host, well informed & helpful with suggestions for day trips. As a bonus, Bumble was patiently answering loads of my questions about the area as well as Scotland in general...... (and I am like a popcorn machine when it comes to asking questions). The room & bed was big and comfortable, bathroom sparkling, communication swift, and the farmhouse is easy to find. We had great time there.

The cottage is exactly as it looks like in the pictures, even better. Everything looks brand new and its good quality, so its gonna last. It is very well equipped, you wont miss a thing. This small town is a bit far from the main road, but that's what makes this place so peaceful and lovely. If you are lucky, you'll meet reindeers while driving, so be careful ;). We were on a road trip so we warned Mary that we would be arriving late. She answered immediately making us feel calm about it, so she was warm welcoming since the text messages. We got there late, and she was expecting us with a smile and provided us a tour around the apartment, explaining us everything we needed to know. She also wrote a small list with schedules for the establishments around there (it is a very small village, it was useful). In addition to that, she received us with some fruit, milk, and a special treat cause she knew we were celebrating my boyfriends birthday. Everything was amazing.

We had an amazing weekend at the Byre. Mary was very welcoming. Thankfully there were no problems but she was close by if anything did happen. The cottage was clean and cosy with great facilities. Would definitely recommend going to the restaurant in the village, though it was quite busy when we went so would advise booking before. The cafe was also lovely with outdoor seating looking out onto the water. A perfect little getaway.

We had a fantastic time at the Byre. Mary is a friendly and welcoming host and gave us a few ideas of where we could visit while we were there too. The cottage is clean, tidy, comfortable, cosy and we felt right at home. We went down to the Tayvallich Inn for some food and a beer (or two) and really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was excellent. The perfect chilled getaway. Thanks Mary! We hope to visit again sometime!

We had a lovely stay for a couple of nights at The Byre, whilst exploring the local area. Mary was a welcoming and helpful host, there to greet us when we arrived and even booked us a table at the local pub Tayvallich Inn. She also recommended some local walks and amenities- including the Taynish Nature Reserve which is virtually on the doorstep and absolutely stunning. The accommodation was very comfortable and more than spacious enough for two, and was immaculately kept. We will definitely return if we are in the area again. Thank you Mary!

We would definitely recommend The Byre to everyone as we loved it! Mary is very welcoming and helpful and she ensured that our stay was comfortable. The cottage is very cosy, modern and well equipped. Good location as well since there are many things to do within Tayvallich itself. Also, Mary was kind enough to send me something by post that I had left behind. Thank you, Mary! We hope to visit again.

A wonderful, cosy den to hideout in from the winter Scottish weather. Lovely location with plenty of well kept local walks and archaeological indulgences. Welcoming in the new year at the Tayvallich Hogmanay ceilidh was a definite highlight. Mary and co.' hospitality was stellar, and it was nice to first foot her on the 1st. Thanks for such a brilliant stay!

Lovely accommodation for our weekend away - beautifully presented and immaculately clean. Mary was an excellent host; really friendly and very helpful in recommending walks and places to visit. We absolutely loved the area and would definitely return to stay at the Byre again.

Great wee place very clean quite and short walk to village

Iain's place is lovely. We spent New year there with extended family, including a band of small cousins, it was a great place for kids and adults alike, even in January! The house was really cosy, the view stunning and Iain was very attentive, ensuring we were safely checked in from a distance and kept in touch to make sure that all was well. The house is an easy walk to the village with it's lovely wee cafe and shop. A great spot for a family holiday, we'd love to return in summer.

Great place. The views are superb from the house. Our 6 and 4 year old had plenty of space for playing outside and had a very short walk to the swing park. Another short walk past that to the Tayvallich Inn which was good enough for us to be back 4 times during our stay! Great walks up the nearby hills and plenty boat trips. Really enjoyed our week at 'Auchenbeag'. Host Iain was easily contactable should there have been any issues, however no issues at all.
