Thistle House Guest House 4 stars

Saint Catherines

Situated in a scenic wooded garden, Thistle House Guest House overlooks Loch Fyne to Inveraray and its famous castle. Free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking are provided in this spacious Victorian country house. Sue and Avril were charming hosts and made us feel so welcome. All of the rooms were tastefully decorated. Our bed was very luxurious and we had the best 2 sleeps of our 3 week vacation. The delicious breakfasts were served in the charming dining room. We simply had to buy a piece of the locally made pottery that the preserves were served in. The view of Inverarry was lovely. We would highly recommend Thistle House.

Skerrols House 4 stars

Bridgend

Within 15 minutes’ drive of 4 of the Isle of Islay’s whisky distilleries, Skerrols House has uninterrupted countryside views and is just a 5-minute drive from the coastal village of Bridgend. Located in the centre of the island, Bowmore Distillery is less than a 10-minute drive away. Exquisite location, big rooms and bathroom. Amazing breakfast (croissants are to die for!), and lots to do at the house (board games, etc.). To top it off, Thomas who was managing the place was ever helpful and great! Highly, highly recommended place!

Dungallan Country House Bed & Breakfast 5 stars

Oban

Dungallan Country House is a adults only bed and breakfast guest house.

Originally built as a summer residence by the Duke of Argyll in 1870, Dungallan Country House Bed & Breakfast is situated on the edge of the town of Oban. The tranquil and secluded, yet commanding position means that the hotel offers superb views to 3 sides. Oban’s promenade and the town’s shops are just a 10-minute stroll away. We just liked all. Excellent rooms, nice building, great breakfast, a hugh selection of single malts, breathtaking view with sunset, what else you are looking for?
