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!).

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.

We had an amazing stay. The cottage was beautiful and the surrounding views were breathtaking. Marcin was an attentive host and we would definitely recommend this place!

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.

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

We absolutely loved our stay here, the hot tub made it even better. Place was immaculately clean, no faults what so ever. Basic kitchen equipment which is all you need for a few days away. Plenty of restaurants, take aways and shop within the area if you’re driving so was able to have the option there if we fancied. Access was easy and it was easy to find, we both liked how it wasn’t on a public road etc and it was so peaceful at night. We were lucky to be able to see a sunset on our first night and that was fantastic, being able to be in the hot tub and have those views was just unreal. Even on our second night the weather wasn’t the best we still loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this enough, we will definitely be back! Thank you both again

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

Beautiful views, really peaceful. As described. Straightforward communication. Thanks Frances for a lovely holiday.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

We've just returned from a fantastic week staying at An Airigh, a very cosy, warm and comfortable eco friendly house and wow...what an amazing house to stay in! The house is in a perfect, peaceful location with stunning views over Loch Fyne, and within easy reach (by car) of the Arrochar Alps for some great hikes in the mountains and hills. Everything inside the house has been well thought about from the decoration to the beds, bedding, showers, furniture and even the books and maps available to read and use. The well equipped kitchen provided everything we needed and more! No corners have been cut. Amanda was responsive and friendly in her communication. I would thoroughly recommend An Airigh and wished we could have stayed longer.

I really enjoyed my stay at the But n ‘Ben it was a lovely cottage and very clean and great attention to detail with decor and had everything you would need It was very quiet and had lovely views and sunset Lovely area to stay On leaving,the taxi I had booked didn’t arrive and Debbie kindly offered to take me to Balloch to get the train but just missed it!so she took me to the next station at Dumbarton where I managed to get the train from there.Debs was a lifesaver!and really went out of her way to help and is an excellent host!Thank you so much ! 5 star 🌟

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.
