A wonderful comfortable place to spend a quiet holiday in the most amazing location.

We had a most enjoyable stay in the height of comfort. Nothing had been missed - even Christmas decorations . The house was very well equipped with everything we needed and warm and welcoming in the height of winter. The view was outstanding as was the weather.

Great holiday stay

Lovely bungalow overlooking Bute . Perfect location for exploring Kyle’s of Bute surrounded by lots of walks . Recommend Kilbride Bay and The Bothy at Kilbride Farm , Carry Farm for fresh lobster and Langoustine to buy and ferry to Tarbert and circular walk past castle. We managed to walk daily despite the rain but unfortunately unable to sit outside and enjoy the view as so wet Kames local store very handy too !

Stunning location and extremely comfortable bungalow

Not our first time in the area, but our first time staying in this property. Furnished to a very high standard and has everything you need ..but it’s the location that blows you away ..right on the shore front with huge glass windows (and door) and the view is just spectacular. 5 mins from Kames hotel and a couple of minutes further to the Village store. We will defo be back and this will be our first choice of property to rent again

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!!

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

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!

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 well appointed property in a beautiful location. The garden is fully enclosed if you have a dog.

I have marked the condition as OK because there are a couple of items that are in need of maintenance attention:- A kitchen cupboard is hanging on its hinges. In the bathroom in the bunkhouse, only one spotlight worked out of four. Everything else was perfect!
