Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Argyll and Bute Council

We had a lovely stay at The Curling Pond. It is in a fabulous position - right next to the Inverary Castle estate and convenient to the town without being noisy. Spacious and with everything we needed. The host Peter is very helpful, and we would highly recommend it.

La promesse de la vue était fabuleuse et nous avons pas été déçus. Si vous recherchez un endroit paisible et isolé, c’est l’endroit parfait. Il n’est pas parfaitement placé si vous cherchez les endroits touristiques à visiter mais le lieu se suffit à lui même pour quelques nuits et il est parfait pour se reposer et profiter du calme. Les chambres et pièces de vie sont très belles et bien décorées. Merci de mettre une belle maison comme ça à disposition.

We were impressed by the photos on the website but the cottage was even more impressive than the pictures suggested. A spotlessly clean cottage, warm and welcoming, with lots of spaces to relax from the comfortable bedroom, spacious lounge, dining kitchen, cosy nook, and porch area at the back of the property. The garden was magical too, and I found myself drawn to wander around it, seeing something new each time. We were VERY lucky with the weather & the lower patio area was a fabulous suntrap! We have a friend who lives on Bute and when we come back we will definitely look to book Hawthorn Cottage. Thank you Rosemary, we had a wonderful stay.

Tina communicated all instructions and was very responsive and helpful to our questions offering suggestions and solutions. We enjoyed our stay in beautiful Islay and would stay at Tina’s place again!

Lovely house in a stunning area, no need to have the tv on at all with the view from the window. Local amenities close by and ample parking and ideal if wanting to make use of the crossing to Kintyre as literally next to the jetty. Lovely open fire which even with fairly good weather we made use of. Seeing deer on the road outside the house one evening was just the icing on the cake .

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön gestaltet und man kann hervorragend ausspannen. Es hat eine sehr gute Ausstattung und ist für kleiner Freundesgruppen oder Familie optimal geeignet. Die Unterkunft ist ideale auf Islay. Wir würde das Airbnb immer wieder buchen.

David's place was our favourite during this one week holiday in Scotland. The location is amazing and seeing the water from the livingroom and bedroom windows was wonderful. However, what made it stand apart from other accommodations was the interior design: every single space inside the house is tasteful and cosy, and we felt at home from the moment we walked in. Everything was clean and the quality of towels, soaps and shower gels are five star hotel level. David and Amanda are great hosts, very friendly and thoughtful, and it is evident that the comfort of their guests is their priority - also, we were delighted to meet them in person. We were sorry to leave after only one day there and will be happy to go back when next in Scotland.

Highly recommend lovely house with great view, all like new inside, was a great place to base ourselves for exploring the area. Tony was very responsive and all instructions very clear and friendly check in.

We had an amazing stay! The host was absolutely lovely and provided exceptional service from start to finish. Everything was perfect—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up. The location was beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of space for our dog to run around and enjoy. We also really appreciated the little touches like the coffee and dog-friendly extras. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our time here, a home from home. Great base for exploring the Ayrshire Coastline, we look forward to a return stay.

Fantastic stay. Caravan had everything we needed for our stay including condiments, iron, towels etc. Beautifully decorated and in a peaceful area. We will definitely be booking again!

The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature, making it ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway. The cabin is well-equipped, providing everything you need, from kitchen utensils to toiletries. Everything matches the pictures and descriptions perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend it to others.

We had a lovely stay. The caravan had everything you’d need and was clean and cosy. Would recommend staying here. Hosts were great, easy to contact and gave clear instructions for checking in.

Extremely peaceful and beautiful location, 30 mins from Oban. Magic views from the living room (lake, mountains, sheep everywhere). A lot of space for 4 adults + 2 kids in the house. A lot of facilities near the house including swimming pool. Clean and comfortable beds. Moved two single beds and provided baby cot as we requested. It was a bit difficult to find the house as we arrived late at night but no big deal. Highly recommended!

A perfect bolthole.... plenty of space inside for us and our 10mth old grandchild. Beautiful decking area with glorious view and we sat out several times..... very private. All mod cons included..... making it a very relaxing place to chill out. When we had a problem with the heating Andrew came and fixed it with a friendly smile. Mary explained all about the Lodge when we arrived and was at the end of the phone if needed. Thank you both. Kathy & Iain

We had a wonderful stay at Sam's caravan. The location was excellent with beautiful views across sea. The caravan park has a lovely heated swimming pool and play area which our little boy loved and lots of entertainment/activities to get involved with. There is also a shop, ice cream parlour and burger shack on site. The caravan was spotless and very comfortable. It came well equipped and the shortbread and wine on arrival was a lovely touch. During our stay we unfortunately lost the key to the caravan and Sam and his cleaner Paula were incredibly helpful in coming to our rescue! We would definitely recommend this Airbnb and would not hesitate in booking again. Thanks for a fab week!

very beautiful and tranquil area. booked my stay as a romantic weekend as was not disappointed. cabin was amazing and just as shown, the area and the estate all added to experience. the on site food truck was very good with locally sourced produce, the chef is definitely a master at his craft. staff were all very friendly and helpful on site and even made the whole planning and booking process a easy with quick responses to any queries I had. couldn't recommend woodlands any more highly

The Coach House is the perfect location for a secluded, peaceful break. The kitchen and lounge area are upstairs with views over the sea and open countryside. You also have access to a large garden. Rothesay is an easy cycle or bus trip away. We stored our bikes in the log shed. Marjorie and Ronnie are excellent hosts, they provided quick and clear communication and were on hand if any problems arose. Highlights of our trip were Mount Stuart house and gardens, the Victorian fernery which is close by, Musiker and Helmi’s cafes, Bute Yard and Kingarth Hotel for an evening meal. We enjoyed our stay at the Coach House and recommend it to others.

Absolute gem of a place! Wouldn't change a thing. Great hosts. Cuan the Collie gave us a guided tour on arrival and never left my son's side for our entire stay! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back 🩷

The location and property exceeded our expectations. It has everything you need with a little nostalgia on the side. The views are fantastic from anywhere on the island, with lots of walks and swim spots. The islanders were very welcoming, and provided helpful info re best swim locations. We swam once or twice every day, access is with care via a 'slate slide'. There is a lovely pub/cafe, The Puffer, opposite the cottage, but worth booking as it gets very busy, open Thursday to Sunday. Locally produced, reasonably priced art, jewellery and soaps are available. The island is a peaceful haven.

The situation of the bothy next to the sea and stream is quite magical - this is a special place and we had a wonderful stay. Early mornings in the middle of all of the local wildlife are very special, and the chair overlooking the bay is perfect for watching the sun set. Thanks to Alison and David for making out stay so comfortable, and for great advice regarding things to see on the island.

We had a great stay here! It was so nice to find treats waiting for us after a long trip. This place is so cute, has an amazing view, and perfect space for a couple. The shower is honestly luxurious and an extra nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here on our honeymoon and it was beyond perfect. The most charming location and a wonderful place. Would highly recommend to any couple. 10/10.

We wanted to try somewhere different to our usual, that was within our budget, that is dog friendly and Ian’s place stood out by far. This converted church is tucked away between two properties, which we never knew existed! It has a beautiful driveway leading up to the property. The church is shared with a lovely elderly couple (who share the same entrance, but have their own front door to their side of the church) who visit every so often and maintain the grounds. The church has some of the original features which is nice to see and the original stained glass windows. The ground floor master bedroom is a reasonable size and the bed is absolutely comfy! The kitchen is very reasonable sized for both of us. The best feature is the glass conservatory which is a nice place to relax, have a few drinks and watch the wildlife, the birds nest & firth of Clyde. The upstairs is nice and relaxed with two single beds & amazing view of the stars & sunset/rise. Highly recommended!
