Cottage vacation 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 very beautiful cottage in a private setting. We were met by George on arrival. George was very friendly and informative. We instantly felt right at home. Welcome basket on the kitchen table was a lovely touch. We settled in very quickly and with ease as parking was right outside the cottage. We enjoyed the very clean hot tub in the evenings after our busy days out as well as excellent carryout deliveries. Quality of food was very good. Another highlight was watching the various types of birds feeding, which we could see from the kitchen table and seating area. Especially the Woodpecker which made a regular appearance. We all enjoyed a truly relaxing break in very comfortable and private surroundings. Our check-in and check-out was effortless. Thank you George and Amanda, we will certainly be back.

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 was our 2nd stay at March Cottage. The addition of the log burner in the front room and bedroom is great. We will definitely return for a 3rd visit.

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.

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

Lovely cottage with beautiful views surrounded by country side. Communication was fab including hints and tips for things to do. We had a great few days and will definitely stay again. Thank you!

Words cannot express the wonderful week we have had on Loch Katrine. Old Smiddy is ideally located for hiking the mountains, lochs and woodland and Carole has thought of all you need to make it feel like a home from home. Having our morning tea watching the Barn Swallows and House Martins catching their breakfast on the lake in the sunshine was very special. Aberfoyle has all you need for food and cute shops and fantastic Doone Hill walk from the town - Free Parking!!! A ferry trip on the Sir Walter Scott from the pier over to Trossachs Pier is a MUST and the Primrose Hill hike was stunning. The Pier Cafe is outstanding, definitely worth a treat and just a short walk away. Thank you Carole for sharing your amazing house, we will be back to enjoy the hot tub and sauna 🤞

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!

Wonderful comfortable house with lots of space for family of 7 adults and child. Lovely porch and balcony with beauriful views and birdsong.

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.

A bothy is a bothy, and not everyone would be happy living without the things we take for granted. Alison and David make it sensible and easy and fuss free. In a week, I only phoned once, and Alison answered immediately. David visits or passes every/most days, and although a busy man, always had time for long chats. If you want to swap your screen for something less strenuous , sit at the window and watch the tide coming and going.

Lovely house, comfortable, well equipped great communication with recommendations for restaurants and drinking holes within walking distance from the house from Debs. Good size Co-op again within walking distance. If you are staying in the area I would recommend this cottage as it’s also within easy reach of so much

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!

This was our first time to visit this area - what a great place to explore Scotlands ancient past and its present beauty! So many ancient monuments within a quick drive as well as a short drive to other points of interest like Inverary. The Horseshoe Inn across the street was delicious and very accommodating with dietary restrictions.

Perfect spot, lovely wee cottage, everything was excellent.

A great place to stay, very clean and tidy, all new appliances and excellent en suit/shower absolutely no complaints. Only 5 mins from the charger in the town centre and shops. Could definitely recommend it for anyone. The views were amazing too!

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 !

My husband and I stayed at Jade's cottage for 3 nights. The location and surroundings were stunning and the beautiful cottage was clean and comfortable. Only thing that disappointed was the lack of a personal touch. This for me is the best part of booking an AirBnB over a hotel. The photos showed nice, colorful potted plants at the entrance and a personal welcome "for some" inside. So the expectation was set. But the pots really needed some TLC and there was nothing to welcome us except an empty fridge. Jade was to meet us, but we got delayed 1/2 an hour and she left. A few "basics" is nice for arriving travelers. Water, "real" coffee and some creamer? A pastry or a local specialty? It is not much, but shows the owner has made the effort. There were no instructions for using the appliances other than "heated floor on a timer". Maybe a nice "house manual" including recommended local things to see and do? Checking in with guests during their stay? These are what make a 5 star review.

We had such a nice break here. The property is warm, cosy, well equipped and in a beautiful location. Willa and Angus both helped us out with local recommendations for walks and activities when we needed them. The area is lovely and there’s lots to explore. Definitely plan to return here again!

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