We had a pleasant stay in this comfortable house which is in a great location. The scenery was spectacular and the weather fine. The more active members of our family group went walking while others relaxed and enjoyed the views of the loch. The property owners were very helpful and informative. We enjoyed meals at the Ardentinny restaurant and theRead more Blairmore cafe. A very enjoyable holiday. Hide

Lovely house, with loads of space, in a prime location. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway this is a fantastic option. Ardentinny is beautiful, and this house is the perfect place to enjoy it from. Just make sure you stock up before arriving as the nearest shop is about 20 minutes drive away. Our main concern before arrival was that the inteRead morernet might not be great (we work remotely). However, we had no issues and could even stream the Scottish Cup Final on the smart TV. Hide

My 3 daughters and myself had a wonderful week. The house and location was fabulous. We had wonderful weather the first week of September. We did walks in the Argyll forest walks every day from the door. Pucks Glen was fabulous. We wanted to go to The. Ardentinny Bistro next door but one but my autistic daughter refused to go, but no matter becauseRead more we enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen. The views from the bedrooms and upstairs lounge were unforgettable. Saw porpoises and gannets diving. Hide

The location of this house next to the loch is beautiful. The views are amazing. The furniture etc is comfortable and the house is huge. If you are going to cook you might need to take your own pans etc as they are quite small for a big party. There is a washing machine but no dryer which is difficult if you have prolonged rain as we did. We had a Read moregood week there - the extra things mentioned would have given a higher rating. The bistro next door is superb! Hide

Beautiful and well equipped home, large, extremely comfortable and clean, all possible needs catered for. Fantastic location, very picturesque and secluded. but not too much. The Ardentinny restaurant next door is amazing.

Very high quality and near perfect location. A lovely house with the only fault being one available key for a difficult door to lock/unlock, especially with arthritic hands! A very unsympathetic response when I made contact to query the problem and a patronising forensic description of how the door mechanism worked. Otherwise, pre-booking experiencRead moree was wonderful and very helpful. Hide
