This is a fabulous property in a great location. The house is well equipped and very comfortable and the small community of Colintraive offers great walks along the shore and an excellent pub/restaurant two doors away. Great food and atmosphere.

A really comfortable holiday house. Spacious with large garden for barbecues and balcony . Hotel does delicious takeaway fish and chips. It is quite remote for supplies as village shop only does basics so be prepared. Still worth it.

Lovely house. Very comfortable clean and spacious. Our grandchildren loved the fact they could bike for miles on a single track road. There were cars but they wore reflective waistcoats and were careful. It wasnt busy. They loved the ferries, we went to the Isle of Bute twice. Fenced in garden was great too. Wonderful place.

Lovely location and scenery. Large spacious house with great views. Equipment and furniture is a little tired and needs updating, esp the television and dvd player Could have done with more up to date games and books. Maybe improve on the cleaning as the toilets were dirty and rooms dusty. Local pub was great. Convenient to get to the Bute ferry.
