So peaceful

Property was amazing, some really lovely touches and a great location. Jill & Chris were so kind and helpful allowing us access to all areas. Fantastic for wildlife (red squirrels, pine martens, badgers, herons, gannets and loads of small garden birds to name just a few). Just the place to wind down and relax.

Ideal escape to the Kyles of Bute

We had a two-night stay as part of a family tour of the area. The cottage was peaceful, clean and comfortable with absolutely stunning views out over the Kyles. It was exceptionally well-stocked with good quality toiletries and kitchen provisions. We also appreciated the bird / squirrel feeder supplies (which the red squirrels also enjoyed). Jill and Chris made us feel very welcome but also respected our privacy. This was a trip down memory lane for me and an introduction to the area for my grown-up daughters, and our stay here was a definite highlight of a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Beautiful Argyll

Had amazing weekend at this wonderful property for my husband's 50th The setting was superb - a gem of a place to chill and decompress and just sit with nature. We were lucky enough to spot heron, red squirrels, sea trout, a variety of bird species, a doe and a seal. Just lovely. Unfortunately the pine martens were too elusive. We absolutely hope to return.

Idyllic stay

Just back from a wonderful stay at this property. The cottage was warm, clean and comfy and had absolutely spectacular views. It had everything that we needed for our short stay and I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough. Lots of fantastic wildlife, outdoor walks and even a swim in the loch. Communication with the owners was quick, easy and helpful.

A remote hideaway with most mod cons.

We had four wonderful days exploring the area for gardens and landscape. Every morning we woke up in this delightful house overlooking the Kyles of Bute and every evening we returned to this lovely spot after garden visiting and riding the local ferries. The weather was kind too!

Beautiful, peaceful property!

Such a peaceful and relaxing place! We enjoyed the walks into the village and up to the old harbor and lily pond. Lunch at Five West was delicious! We do hope to return. One thing to note, the last leg of the road is challenging to a low to the ground car.

We love it here and had a wonderful time as always, it's our favourite holiday. We saw lots of red squirrels, a barn owl ghosting along whilst we were out on our travels, we even saw the otters and caught the pine martens visiting this time!

Great Argyll cottage

West Glen is a lovely coastal cottage, right on the waters edge reached along an unpacked road, which adds to the privacy of the cottage. Although the cottage is a traditional building it has been really well modernised with everything we needed for a really comfortable stay. Chris and Jill were super hosts, helping us when our plans changed and providing local knowledge. I’m sure we’ll return.

Amazing!

Fantastic, well equiped cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. But it's the location that sets it apart. Right on the loch shore, secluded and peaceful surrounded by woodland and wildlife....we saw red squirels, otters, and a very short glimpse of a pine martin. The surrounding area is spectacular but not overly busy so nice and quiet roads! We had a fantastic time exploring and walking with our two dogs who loved the nearby beaches. All in all a great stay and we'd love to return.
