A house with stunning views, well equipped kitchen, cozy towels, good linen and fun games. EV charger was an advantage. We didn’t have the sun but it would be even more special in the summer. Well located and you can walk to Kames Hotel in a few minutes. We will would recommend

Lovely house, in a beautiful location

Beautiful views over Kyles of Bute from sitting room and bedroom. Well equipped house, that felt as though the owners used it themselves - unlike some places I’ve stayed in that lack basic utensils. Good pub/restaurant and village shop that has pretty much everything you might need within easy walking distance. Thoroughly recommended.

A special place

We had the most lovely time at Craignethan. The cottage is well decorated, clean and right by the water. The views are absolutely stunning. An early rise with a baby was made so special watching the sun rise over the water each morning. The cottage has everything you could need and more. Katie provided us with tips on places to eat and visit. We are so happy that we followed her advice! Our trip to the beach and local restaurant made for the perfect trip. We have already decided that we will be back!!

Fantastic property to stay in. Perfect for us going with friends, as it meant we had the cottage with 2 bedrooms for 1 family of 4 and then the out house with a further 2 bedrooms and bathroom for the other family. Stunning views, everything you need for a lovely cozy holiday. took part in the New Year's dip just a few minutes walk away at the Kames hotel beach all of us which was fun. . Already thinking of when we can all return. Just perfect! Communi

Clean and relaxing place to stay

Such a calm location. Driveway enough for two 7-seater cars and more. Outhouse with another 2 bedrooms separated from the main house is prefect for us as kids can sleep quietly there, and we don’t need to worry about chatting too loud. Bathroom in the main house is awesome. Not only it is clean but the water pressure is very good.

Craignethan- Peace & Quiet

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Craignethan. The location is just perfect and the environment so peaceful, relaxing and absolutely stunning. I would certainly book the accommodation again, and we will definitely be back to the area next year. When the weather is right, it’s better than the Med!!

Perfect Bolthole

Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location with a lovely hotel/pub just down the road and an excellent village store within walking distance. Perhaps not the best location for families with small children but if you want to walk in fabulous scenery or just to relax in beautiful surroundings it is perfect.

Fall in love with Scotland

Fabulous accommodation and location for our stay for a family wedding. Everything we needed was supplied…… incredible views and facilities nearby AND they turned on the sunshine for me ☀️The journey from Glasgow is breathtaking…. but needs time to enjoy and take care. I manage to escape 4 days with only 1 ‘Scottish midgie bite’ Thanks to Smidgie lotions Will definitely be back.

Idyllic beach house

Craignethen is the most beautiful and comfortable little beach house. The views from the living room and decking are epic. The house and kitchen are so well stocked with everything that you could need. There are some lovely thoughtful touches including complimentary slippers, board games, books and DVDs. Excellent communication with the owners as well. I am most definitely going back!
