“Lovely house with comfortable living and bedrooms.”
We were a party of 7 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs. House had loads of room for us all. Bedrooms were huge and very comfortable. Kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need. Fruit trees in the garden were a huge hit with my grand-daughter as was the big box of toys (she brought her own and never looked at them as this box was much more interesting). Location was perfect. We took a sail over to Gigha and had a fabulous lunch at The Boathouse Restaurant. An amazing weekend in a beautiful period house. One small thing to note if you have dogs, the garden is not secure. My dogs love water and we therefore had to keep a close eye on them as the canal is only a few metres away!
Owner's reply: What a great weekend you had! I'm glad the house worked well for you, and you found plenty to do in the area. Thanks for taking the time to write a review, do return sometime, Mike
“Superb and relaxing”
We were only a party of 6 but room for plenty more due to the size of the house. All rooms large and very well furnished with both modern and period furniture. Kitchen as should be, large and well equ… More
“Lovely house in a nice area.”
We had a really nice time out in this house and we wish we could have stayed longer. The location is beautiful and the little canal on the doorstep.
Owner's reply: Thank you for leaving the house so clean and tidy, and sorting all the rubbish for recycling, I hope we can welcome you back in the future
“Relaxing large family home”
Spent a lovely few days here for a birthday celebration with the family including dogs. Very comfortable house with plenty space for us all. There was also a bbq and large patio set which was great gi… More
Owner's reply: I'm glad that you enjoyed the house and the area, and had a great birthday celebration. Thanks for taking the time to give a review. Mike
“Still Excellent”
We stayed in this property last year when arranging a family funeral. Sadly we were back recently for the same reason. It was no contest where we would stay as this is simply an excellent large house.… More
Owner's reply: Thanks once again for a very positive review despite the sad circumstances. Looking forward to your next visit! Mike
“Great family holiday.”
We loved the house and the garden, lots of space for us all - granny, children, grandchildren. We enjoyed being right beside the canal and the locks, seeing the boats coming and going, and how the loc… More
Owner's reply: What a great week you had! I'm glad the house suited you, and you obviously enjoyed the area, looking forward to a return visit. Thanks for taking the time to write a review, Mike
“Great family stay”
Just returned from a 4 night stay in this lovely house. We were 2 families, 10 people in total and 3 dogs, and this house was perfect. Kitted out well and also towels, soap, tea towels and kitchen sponges etc all provided, which is great that you don't need to bring it all. Spacias and great outside space. Such a pretty location, watch the boats pass the house through loch 8. Walked to Crinen along the canal footpath, 9 miles in total. Went open canoeing in Tarbert which was great fun and only £15 an hour and visited Arran. Not the best island to visit, previously visited Mull which is so lovely, we would not return to Arran but would return and stay on Mull. This part of scotland is beautiful. Great house will hopefully return. Owners great too, no one was arriving on the day we left and they said we could stay and not rush off in the morning which was lovely, thank you.
Owner's reply: Sounds as if you managed to make the most of a four day stay! I'm glad you enjoyed the house and the location, hope to see you again.
“Fantastic house in a beautiful location.”
We booked the house for a long weekend in May to accommodate six adults and four children. It turned out to be perfect for the occasion as it was even more spacious than the photos suggested. It was… More
