Top Flat Tighnabruaich.
The view is absolutely amazing, looking across the loch to the Isle of Bute, is breath taking every morning. We had a wonderful stay at the flat. The flat contained everything you would require. End of the holiday season so it looked tired and used in a few places, but this was a minor issue compared to the stunning location. The bedding was fresh and smelt so clean and lovely, the beds were comfy and we all loved staying here. The kitchen was well equipped. We used this as a base to visit the local surrounding area around. Catching the ferry's across to Isle of Bute , Tarbert, Isle of Gigha, Isle of Arron. Getting around was easy, just turn up to a ferry terminal and pay as you get on. Buses are available and regular around each island. We explored the Kintyre peninsular, Dunoon and had a day trip on the Waverley which left from Tighnabruaich to Ardrishaig. Lots of wildlife to see. Birds, Seals, red squirrels (near Carry's farm area 10 min drive away from the flat) dolphins and deer. This coast line has some amazing beaches golden sand as far as you can see, so undisturbed and beautiful. Ettrick bay on Isle Bute, Twin beaches on Isle of Gigha, Ostel bay (Kilbride bay) Which is a short drive away from the top flat, park at the side of the ice cream shop and a pleasant walk through the woods and sand duns to a perfectly unspoilt bay. Paths all the way so easily accessible. The west coast along Arron is full of seals and Brodick has a lovely beach. We took paddleboards, and our lad loved snorkelling watching the crabs and flat fish. Its the west coast so the weather does change quickly from sun to rain and even hail in August, but you cant control he weather so be prepared and just make the most of what this beautiful coast line has to offer. Communication with the flat owner was brilliant. We would highly recommend this area to visit we had a brilliant family holiday here and many memories made. Thank you.

Marketed well, but needs higher standards.
While the accommodation suited our needs as a base where we could stay while on our walking holiday there are aspects of the cottage management that could be improved. There is no anti slip mat in the shower. It becomes very slippery when lathered and wet. A potential for an accident. The short step down from the bedrooms to the lounge is a potential trip hazard. It should be highlighted with high vis' tape. No-one wants an accident the first day of their vacation. A minor gripe was that the hand gel soaps provided were watered down and the pump action on the bottles didn't work. Owners should consider renewing them now and again. No hand towel for drying dishes was provided. With two medium sized dogs there is no garden available for them to exercise in or yoga stretch. The wall at the front is very low and easy for pets to jump the wall onto oncoming traffic if unattended. Even with our well trained dogs we still had to maintain a ceaseless vigilance on them. The log basket for the wood burner literally had four logs in the basket. Hardly enough to keep the wood burner alight for 2 hours. There is a notice that you can fill the basket for an additional charge of £10.- deemed cheaper than the village shop. We brought logs purchased in Dunoon for £7.- We suggest the photographs of the Loch views should be taken from the cottage gallery as there is no Loch views from the cottage. My wife works for a company that also rents out cottages therefore our comments are based on an acceptable industry standard and not petty gripes. Having stated the above we still enjoyed our stay in Argyll as it is a beautiful part of Scotland. The cottage after all was only a place to stay at night after being out all day.

Absolutely wonderful - as lovely as advertised.
Super comfortable - there were two of us so we didn't need the two other bedrooms. Perfect in all regards. Stunning view from the big windows out into the loch and across to the mountains of the isle of Bute. We arrived by train, ferry, and bus from Glasgow via Dunoon (spent a night there). Travel was relatively easy and fun. Met all sorts of kind people on our day trips around the area (great helpful bus drivers and ferry guys), and chatted happily w/folks (and their dogs!) at the nice (super convenient) friendly Tighnabruaich Hotel Pub and Restaurant across the street (good food as well as lovely people). Decent convenient food store 1-minute walk around the corner. Twenty-minute walk to Kames, where there is another bigger store and a Hotel/Restaurant for a meal. Also visited Trabert and Rothesay (on Bute) via ferry and bus. But the most special thing was the flat, with its glorious views and super comfortable layout. For periodic heat we used only the wood-burning fireplace (iron stove). Kitchen facilities were great - all needs were met re appliances, dishes, utensils, etc, including a welcome basket w/coffee, tea, cookies. All in all a really wonderful experience, and, as we have said, a really perfect apartment. Well worth the trip from a noisy bustling New York City apartment replete with sirens and crowded avenues to that peaceful beautiful western Scotland village flat...

This is a cosy, semi-detached cottage in a small village called Millport.
It has two bedrooms, each with a double bed, and a compact living area. NB: this cottage has no central heating or piped hot water. Gunpowder cottage has a lot to recommend it if you plan ahead for these conditions. Thereâs an electric shower, a wood-fired stove in the living area, and space heaters in the bedrooms. The floors are slate and can be very cold underfoot in October when we visited. Plan ahead by bringing warm slippers, warm pyjamas, and extra blankets if you are visiting in colder parts of the year (September to May). We found the location very quiet and an excellent base for exploring the Cowal peninsula. The internet works great. The dishwasher is weirdly in the laundry area but we managed because thereâs no hot water to wash dishes by hand. Once you get the wood stove going, itâs very warm in the living room. Youâll have to pay £7.50 for each bundle of wood. Thereâs books, games, and a nice smart tv. Think of it as an upscale bothie. The Morrisons in Dunoon has everything for cooking up a great meal and thereâs loads of beautiful walks nearby. Puckâs Glen is unmissable and the nearby Kilbride Bay is stunning. It is a gorgeous area. Thereâs a lot of wildlife, especially birds. If I had any suggestions to the owners: please include some extra blankets, a hairdryer and maybe a plunger for the toilet.

Truly a fantastic seaside holiday property!
Views are outstanding across the water to the island of Bute. Space is amazing and the long window seat is perfect for relaxing and watching yachts drift by and seabirds on or beside the water. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with all you will need and we loved the touch of a welcoming tea/coffee tray for the two of us on our arrival. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was also thoughtfully equipped. There were two other bedrooms which we didn't need, one a single and the other with a bunk bed, so the flat is ideal for a family break. We had fabulous weather all weekend and it was so peaceful to enjoy a glass of wine in the back garden sitting at the wall which overlooks the shore and sea. This was a very, last minute break and the owner was really helpful in organising this for us which was very much appreciated. All in all a PERFECT chill out weekend flat - or week if you're very lucky!
