Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Dale R. Apr 17, 2018 #### Lovely house and gardens Had a great week at Eckford House, despite the rather grim weather! Family and dogs had a great time exploring the 10 acres of land (I was slightly more dubious about the rickety bridges they were running across though!) and the surrounding walks. Only piece of constructive criticism would be to put locks on the doors for the shared bathroom between the two main bedrooms to avoid any awkward early morning encounters :) It's a very comfortable home with all amenities you could require, we didn't really take advantage of the hot tub unfortunately but it looked very nice and the kids used it a couple of times. Kitchen was great, all the rooms were nicely decorated, the crackling log fire was much appreciated on the colder nights! All in all a very enjoyable stay. ##### Dale R.

The house was beautiful, with very comfortable furniture in the sitting room and bedrooms. The kitchen was also very nice. Every room was decorated to a high standard. The house is situated at a quiet and idyllic setting with a very pretty path that takes you to a stream with a waterfall. The kids loved seeing the resident rooster and ducks walk around the property. It was chilly in the evening so it was nice to have plenty of firewood to make a fire in the fireplace. Our family also enjoyed the fancy hot tub in a separate part of the house after a long day of sightseeing and walking. It's a short drive to the Botanic Garden and Dunoon. The hosts Sandy and Roisin were very responsive and helpful with our questions. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit to this part of Scotland, will definitely be back again for a visit. ##### Jeffrey H.

The house itself is spacious yet cosy. The views are spectacular, we never tired of them. Our days were spent exploring the local area and our evenings were spent in the hot tub, playing games and stargazing. Just perfect! Sandy and Roisin were great hosts, totally unobtrusive yet available whenever we needed anything. We really didn’t want to leave. We recommend this property highly (whilst secretly wishing we could keep it to ourselves so that we could return whenever we wanted!)

The stay was fine until we got accused of taking a dog which had passed away before we went on holiday. Even after sending proof to the owner we still have been accused and fined because the owner found dog hairs in the kitchen of the property, this was from their dog! It was lovely to be able to pet a dog and feed it sausages from the bbq considering the circumstances. All in all this whole experience was ruined by having to prove the family dog was dead!

The house was characterful with large comfortable rooms, and the hot tub was an added bonus and used daily. The location was quiet, with beautiful scenery, and views. Benmore Botanical gardens is just down the road, which is well worth a visit. We also enjoyed local walks and Pucks Glenn. The weather was fairly cool but stayed dry for the majority of the time and we were able to go out and visit many lovely places, and enjoy family time together.

Sep 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceptionally clean, lots of space and a stunning view The stay was excellent, the property was exceptionally clean as far as these places go and stocked with just about any utensil you can think of! Plenty of room and with a great view over the surrounding hills. It's just far enough out of town that it feels secluded, but not far enough away to be inconvenient. That being said, this is a conjoined property, so the owners are just through a wall so take that into consideration, though to be fair they were very respectful of privacy and such and left us to it other than to greet and see us off when the trip was over. Some small notes, you will need a midge plan, the house (being a bit old and grand) has plenty of gaps on doors and nooks where midges will get in. Don't make the mistake we did on the first night and leave lights on in the evening! Also, there was a fire pit / barbecue with a very generous amount of wood but oddly nothing to light the wood with!!! We had to buy some fire starter but to be honest this was a tiny bit of ironic oversight compared to how well the rest of the house was kept and managed. Hot tub was also exceptionally clean, I believe it was completely refilled every night, you'll understand how that is accomplished when you get there ;) ##### Jack S.

I chose Eckford House as it seemed a perfect hideaway if the UK summer weather let us down. It was everything I hoped for. A quiet location with beautiful views and Loch Eck nearby. There are activities nearby that were enhanced by rain (Puck's Glen right by the property, Quad biking 15 mins drive away) and it was a cosy retreat with plenty of room for the teenagers to hide away when they needed to and the hot tub was the perfect welcome home each day. The property was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. The owners were friendly and helpful. I would love to return at any time of year. ##### Nicola B.

We all had an excellent stay at Eckford House. The hot tub was a great way to relax after our day and having a log fire burning at night added to the experience. We knew there were neighbours attached to the house by reading other reviews but we didnt see them or hear from them so it still felt like we had our privacy.

Sep 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely house and perfect location We had a really fabulous weekend at the house. It had everything we needed and really exceeded our expectations. I noticed someone had mentioned a lock on the jack and gill bathroom in a previous review and the lack of a lock did cause us a problem since we were sharing with my 20 year old daughter and her boyfriend! Maybe this could be something to sort out....other than that we really couldn't fault the house, the views, the weather and the hosts :-) ##### Suzanne C.
