Cottage holiday rentals in Lochgilphead

My friend and I chose this cottage for a quiet getaway with our dogs and it was just what we hoped it would be. We were welcomed by Barbara and Graeme upon arrival and they were very kind and helpful if we had any queries at all. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The views from the bedrooms were stunning and there were plenty walks nearby the property, which were especially lovely in the evening with the sunsets. It was the perfect scenic escape we needed. Thank you Barbara and Graeme (and Rosie the golden retriever of course!).

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

Very true to the listing the cottage is charming, tastefully decorated and homely. The entire cottage is modern and new and the kitchen is spacious and very well equipped with everything you would need. Bathrooms are modern, bright and good rainfall showers. Spacious bedrooms with fresh crisp linen and towels. Hot tub is very good but agree with previous reviews that it definitely needs a few hours to reach the perfect temperature. Nice decking area off the kitchen with outdoor couches but weather was a little inclement which in turn brought out the dreaded midgies!! Huge garden which was safe for our dog to run around with easy access to the stream at bottom of the garden! The cottage is located off the beaten track and is quite remote but definitely ideal if you are after total peace and quiet. Not disappointed and would recommend!!

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

We had a lovely stay with our friends. Saw 3 Pine Martins run across the deck, which was exciting. The walk to the Loch is gorgeous. We came in our vintage cars and were pleased to have private parking for both. Thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful part of Scotland, slept so well , appreciated the quality bedding and how clean the cottage was. we will return at some point.

Lovely location and David was very responsive. We had a wee problem with the hot tub and David came out to rectify it early morning when the weather was at its worst. Great hosts and take pride in their accommodation and facilities. A great break in homely accommodation with the hot tub as a lovely addition. The weather didn’t spoil our stay and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this great location.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to finish our week exploring Islay and Jura. The cottage is an absolute dream. A mixture of back to basics and quality amenities. Located a 10 minute drive from Craighouse but also with great walks straight from the door. The paps right on your doorstep gave us the most magical sunset sight. Rain or sun whatever the weather Jura wears it well. And Mrs Leonard’s cottage is the perfect place to come back to and either warm up in front of the fire or sip a wine or a touch of the hard stuff in the garden. I hope we will be back

Hi Anna , we have had a great time at your hide away cosy cottage whilst also going out and exploring what the area near and afar has to offer. We travelled from near Oban for our first week when we went to the Isle of Mull and then this week we did make time to visit the Isle of Skye which was spectacular. We live in mid Wales so use to the unpredictable weather but on the whole it’s been good to us . Great place to base ourselves from . The wildlife in the garden have been great to see as well and the dogs have loved it . Thank you .

Karen's cottage was a great base from which to explore Kintyre. She went above and beyond to assist us. The welcome treats were much appreciated. Thank you, Karen

Wonderful hosts, even offered to pick us up from the ferry port. Very welcoming and kind. The cottage is beautiful and in a lovely location. Very well equipped, including hair dryer, iron, and anything you could need in the kitchen. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back.

Great small cottage as a base for exploring the Dunoon area, we had a lovely day at Benmore Gardens and a great trip over to Loch Lomond and Arachar. The cottage is compact but has everything that you need with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and bedroom. Top tip is to buy your tickets before getting on the ferry over from Gourock, if you’re coming that way as they charge a fortune if you buy on- board!

Comfortable stay . Upsairs lounge was good for views and warmer than dining room . Useful boot store and utility with extra fridge. Lucy's and pub an easy walk away. Great place for our family gathering.

The house was beautiful and the direct access to the beach was a lovely bonus. The village has a great, dog friendly, pub and cafe which was perfect for us.

Absolutely wonderful place to enjoy a getaway! The location is fantastic with such a peaceful atmosphere. The house itself was great, clean, fresh and very big! We really enjoyed our time here and wish we could have stayed for longer! The host was great with communication and very friendly! There is nothing negative I can say with this one. It was perfect.

Beautiful cottage with everything you need to make you feel at home. Lovely location with lots to do in the nearby area. Thank you for a wonderful few days. Would definitely return!

We had a wonderful time at Jane’s beautiful cottage. It was spotlessly clean and in a wonderful, peaceful location. Jane left bird food in one of the cupboards so we filled the bird feeder and were delighted to see lots of lovely birds in the garden. The cottage is very homely, cosy and comfortable and the hosts keep coffee, tea, cooking oil, spices etc in the kitchen which was a very lovely touch. Unfortunately, the hotel next door is closed but there are lots of lovely restaurants in Lochgilpead. We also travelled to Tayvallich and had the most delicious fish and chips at the Tayvallich Inn - we highly recommend it! Overall, this is the perfect place to relax and adventure around the surrounding villages and towns. We really hope to come back again one day!

Lovely accommodation in an idyllic setting. A definite recommendation for anyone travelling to the area! A warm welcome from two very sweet dogs was a bonus too!

Beccy was an amazing host and I couldn’t have asked for more from the cottage or the surroundings. Would 100% recommend.

We had a great experience staying with Chris and Susan, and would highly recommend this to anyone in the area - head and shoulders above hotels at a similar price point. We stayed for 3 nights, looking for a base between Fort William and Glencoe for hiking. The cottage is very well located for what we had planned and was a welcome break from the string of damp and dingy hotels that we had stayed in beforehand. The place is very well equipped, with a smart TV in case the weather takes a turn and everything you could need for home cooking and lunch prep (which was a huge bonus for our hikes). If you are lucky with the weather, there’s even space to eat outside and enjoy the incredible views. The cottage was clean and well maintained and although we didn’t have any issues, Chris and Susan clearly care about ensuring everything meets their standards. If we ever come back to the Highlands, we will look to stay again!

Great cottage on a working farm. Even Billy the dog and the other farm animals made us feel welcome. Not to forget the friendly hosts !

Idyllic place in a beautiful location - short walk to the beach and the rat race event. Was super clean, shower is great, bed comfy and perfect size for myself. I lucked out in a sunny week and the lil terrace table and chair got sunlight through the day. Lorna was super responsive and quick and efficient. Great stay in a beatific island - recommend Goat Fell and Massif hikes - thanks

The cottage was ideally located to explore Arran. We had a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend.

This stay is a total gem of a homebase for exploring the area! The house feels like home and is well stocked for making meals. Lovely walks near by and amazing views. Perfect size for two couples - really enjoyed our stay!
