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.

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

Lovely and peaceful, with super loch views and a relaxed vibe. Nicely curated and perfect for our elderly golden retriever as everything was, bar a few steps here and there, on one level. The covered deck is ideal whatever the weather. Would recommend.

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.

We had a great stay. The cottage was spacious and homely. I got exactly what I needed a relaxing peaceful stay. Hot tub was super - the cover surrounding it meant we could relax in the hot tub even when the weather was not great. Hot tub location was close to the cottage too which is handy for getting in and out. Fresh scones and other lovely little bits there for our arrival - such a sweet touch. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend. Thanks!

Fantastic - the home was much better than described and bigger than it looked in the photos, and as for the views - breathtaking! Clare was so helpful with offering advice on where to eat and where to visit. The house had everything you could ask for and much more - the kitchen had everything you could need and the bedrooms even had bathrobes, slippers and extra towels for the hot tub. I really can’t recommend this enough - we will definitely return.

Super cottage, perfect for enabling a wonderful stay on Arran. Easy access to both the mainland and all that Arran affords. The cottage was full of character and charm and was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. It had everything we could possibly need, was extremely clean and well equipped.

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 really enjoyed our stay and the host was so helpful in seeing us into the place. The heater was cosy warm and the kids loved the cow wood carving to help find the drive.

We felt very much at home in this cosy, lovingly decorated cottage. Every practical need was taken care of, the heating system worked perfectly. We liked our meals at the big kitchen table and the quaint staircase leading up to the bedroom and bathroom. Personally, I found it hard to sleep because the mattress was worn out and very uncomfortable

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.

Lovely stay in an outstanding cottage. Beautiful and stylish though cosy with a great view and a great kitchen which has everything you need. Very clean and spacious. We were unlucky with the weather but sitting next to the fireplace warmed us up nicely. We were welcomed very friendly and helpfull. We had a delicous dinner in Killberry and a beautifull hike near Ardpatrick. Would love to come back with friends!

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.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! We had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The views were absolutely stunning. It was the perfect escape for me and my 9-year-old daughter; we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The cottage was cozy, clean, and just what we needed to unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat and very close to Loch Lomond.

Heather's place in Tighnabruaich was perfect for our long weekend exploring the Argyll. The cottage was warm, cosy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend staying here.
