We love staying at Achnaha. Peaceful, comfortable and well equipped. Properly dog friendly too, including a secure garden. An excellent location for exploring Argyll and Bute.

A lovely, well decorated and nicely furnished cottage. Extremely clean and tidy with a nice enclosed dogfriendly garden. Well equipped kitchen. Lots of books snd games if the weather isnt good. Comfortable beds and nice bedding. Plenty of space to park. Very helpful owners, who even provided an umbrella!Ardentinny is a beautiful coastal village. Dunoon is about 20 minutes drive away, where there are two supermarkets, a great cinema and lots of nice cafes, such as the Boat House and the beautiful historic Burgh Hall. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at Achnaha. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped. It was very close to the beach with lovely views of Loch Long. We were using the cottage as a base for visiting family and it was perfectly located for our purposes. Andrew called us in advance with little snippets of information we might need for our stay in Ardentinny and also some suggestions for days out.Many thanks to Andrew and Barbara
