Family-friendly holiday rentals in Argyll and Bute Council

had the best time here ever. highly recommend this home, was truly amazing and debbie and her husband could not of been more helpful with recommendations and places to visit aswell as coming to our rescue so quickly when gusts hit us harder than expected. the house was really warm when we arrived and welcoming a real home from home, easy to find and absolutely superb location a real hidden gem. ideal location between all the local popular walks and attractions but also peaceful and private for the quiet evenings watching the sun set and the snow on the mountains. words cant describe the beauty the views are you really need to experience this home, i wish we could of stayed longer. would visit again in a heart beat. it was worth the 12 hour drive ❤️

Absolutely beautiful stay in Dalavich. The views from the dining room and hot tub were next level. George was extremely helpful with all recommendations and there is a helpful manual in the property on things to do around. Having a car is vital and make sure to do a shop before getting to the property but the village shop allowed us to pick up some bits we ran out of which was a bonus. Could not recommend more and will definitely be back!

Came for a long weekend and from start to finish we couldn’t fault anything. The place was perfect and had everything we needed and could want. It was so peaceful with beautiful views. The place is a credit to the hosts. Ross and his wife were super friendly in responses and when they passed, they even have a book full of recommendations around the place which was good! We will most definitely be back!!

Great place in a quiet spot good for colouring Cowal peninsula. The separate sauna and hot tub were even better than imagined. Great place for those with mobility issues.

An incredible stay right on the loch. Stunning views from the lounge window, and if you choose, from the hot tub too! Would recommend for a romantic get away or even with a bunch of friends as we did!

Beautiful home in picturesque surroundings. We couldn’t have asked for more! When we had rainy weather we enjoyed the hot tub and fire. Thank you for hosting us!

Our stay was fantastic, especially given that we booked last minute after another place fell through. The host was incredibly responsive, making sure everything was ready for us. The real highlight was the breathtaking view overlooking the water, with mountains in the distance – truly picturesque! The house itself was spacious and ideal for our group, nestled in a private, peaceful spot that felt like a true retreat. The kids had a great time with the nearby beach just a few minutes’ walk away, and they loved exploring the vast open land surrounding the property. Another great part was the location – it’s about a 15 minute drive to Oban, a lovely town with plenty to do. It gave us the perfect balance of seclusion and easy access to town activities. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy both tranquillity and the option of nearby excursions!

We loved our stay at Patrick’s cabin. The location was brilliant, secluded and quiet with facilities nearby. My kids and dog loved the cabin and our stay, I would definitely recommend this cabin.

This is our third or fourth stay at Arthur's beautiful place. Always a first port of call for my stay's in Scotland. First time staying in the family barn and it was well laid out and equipped.

The Summer House exceeded our expectations. It is more spacious than it looks on the photos. It is very nicely furnished and decorated and is cosy and warm. Penny has thought of everything to make your stay an enjoyable one . Her directions to get there were easy to follow and she recommended several places for us to visit also with clear directions . Archie, her husband , is also very knowledgeable about the island and is very approachable. All in all, we had a lovely time and would highly recommend a stay at Knockenkelly.

If you are looking for off-the-beaten-track luxury with incredible wildlife, views of beautiful Loch Etive and the surrounding mountains which are second to none - then this is the place for you! Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay here and we were sad to leave. We highly recommend this Air BnB and we would love to visit again. Note: we were thankful to find teabags and coffee - but bring your own milk. ;)

This stay was just what we needed! Peaceful, beautiful views and a cosy cottage with a log burner that had pretty much everything we needed. Overall our stay was fantastic. Loved being lochside (the bench outside is perfect), exploring the area and having lots of lovely animals to view either in the loch or right next to the door. We were lucky enough to see any species of birds, seals, otters and even red squirrels!

We had an amazing time at Gary and Leah’s place. It’s a beautiful modern home with very well appointed kitchen and nice enclosed outdoor space for us and for our dog - especially good as the sun was shining for our trip. One of the best locations we’ve stayed in, right next to the river and seafront area with beautiful views. Appreciated the speedy response from Gary and Leah and their local contact Iain. We had one issue with a leak from our upstairs shower and the problem was dealt with very promptly and a refund was offered without prompting for the inconvenience. It’s a great home in a stunning location and I would happily return when we’re next in Ayr.

Ruth’s cottage was a great property, the cleanliness and ease of access to the property were second to none. We felt right at home and very much enjoyed the homely atmosphere of the house. Would 100% recommend using this property for any group who are looking to visit the island. As a group of guys on a golfing trip it was the perfect location with all courses on the island within a half hour drive and an easy 17 minute journey from the ferry terminal to the property.

Brilliant stay! Great location, short walk to a swimming beach, distillery and a slightly longer but easy walk to the pub - perfect. Great value for money with everyone blown away by the house. Pi was great about letting us check in slightly early and check out late if we helped by getting a wash-on.

It was a treat staying at A Sean Tigh for the week. It was a good base for going out and about as plenty of places to visit and walk around in the area. Hosts are a professional young couple with family as well as running a Croft and were friendly, amiable and approachable. I will definitely being staying here in the future and have no qualms in recommending to others for a stay.

Andy’s house is fantastic for a celebration weekend. Twelve of us stayed there comfortably and there is so much public space that it’s easy to do different things yet assemble for meals. The view from the conservatory and garden is stunning. We had one person in a wheelchair and the house worked well for him too. Andy and Joan were welcoming and helpful.

Everything as described, a good host, Therese gave us information about local bakers and some eating establishments which were excellent. We would certainly go again, the weather was in our favour, which was another bonus

Great holiday. The lodge is fabulous - clean and very well presented.

We enjoy this cottage so much that this is the 3rd time we have been. The perfect place to relax.

Really comfortable stay in a beautiful setting. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, Douglas is an attentive host who was available when needed. The bungalow was equipped with everything we needed for cooking and resting which was much appreciated as our stay was over Christmas! Douglas very kindly gifted some wine and chocolates and he was there for our arrival to show us around the house, giving some useful information on nearby shops, places to eat and things to do. We were unfortunate with the weather; however, the bungalow was very cosy and thoughtfully decorated for Christmas and time spent inside looking out at the fabulous views made up for it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at James's caravan. The views are stunning and the area is situated within easy reach of various other attractions and places to visit. Would highly recommend.

A lovely, modern, well-designed environmentally sensitive building with three en-suite rooms opening on to a spacious living/kitchen area. Great views up towards Ben Nevis. Being about mid-way on the island exploring north and south on foot is easy. Wonderfully near the only shop and the community centre cafe and museum. Food at the cafe is punching above its weight for a small island with a great menu. Clare has an organic kitchen garden which can provide fresh veg if available plus eggs from the chickens.
