A great property in a lovely location

Very comfortable with lots of space. Very well equipped climbing down to the beach needs care but good fun for the children when there. An otter family playing was a bonus.

Absolutely perfect!

The property was outstanding in every way. There were eight of us, across three generations of family, and every single one of us was bowled over with the house. There was enough space and sufficient leisure rooms for us all to have our own space, as well as family space together. In addition to being spotlessly clean, it was modern and expansive, both inside and outside, with excellent facilities... including its own private beach! The views were stunning, and I would recommend this to any group wanting a break. The only thing you can't guarantee is the weather, but it was fun to watch not only the variety of yachts sailing past the house, but also the waves getting bigger and bigger from the loch-view window. In addition to the house being ideal, the letting agents couldn't have been more friendly, efficient, helpful and professional. Their communication with me was excellent, and they went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied at every stage of the process. Can't praise the whole experience enough.

A great place to stay

We loved our stay, the accommodation was perfect and it was great to have so much space! The games room and log fires were well used, as was the beach which was great for swimming, snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking. The kitchen had everything we needed and the seating area off it was a stunning place to take in the views. Also great to have board games and books to dip into. The local shop was good for extra supplies, and would highly recommend Kames Hotel for a meal out.

Fantastic Holiday destination

A spacious, fully equipped, excellently located home. We had such an incredible holiday, including visits to Argyle Coffee, Mount Stuart, Steam boat Waverley, Colintraive and Portavadia. I highly recommend this home, with its private beach, quiet location and amenities. Thank you to the owner for such a lovely home.

A week's peace

An excellent place with wonderful views Good for total relaxation. Reading, walking along the loch and board games. Not much else to do which suited us. An excellent local shop but glad we took most supplies with us! No welcome pack which was very disappointing. If we hadn't bought teabags we would have been stuck! Shop closes at 6pm!!!!!

The most beautiful cottage in Tighnabruaich

I have been in this property so many times in the past few years and I do find the cottage absolutely comfortable, tidy and clean. The owner is very kind and immediately ready to support in anyway. I’m looking forward to be there soon again.

Beautiful waterside cottage

Amazing panoramic views over the water. Very comfortable well equipped large house. Just missing a cafatiere. Wouldn't recommend swimming off the beach but a stunning sandy bay at Ostell/Kilbride Bay gave a lovely swim

Taigh Na Mara

The house is fantastic, so roomy with all your entertainment needs catered for. We loved the floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the Kyles. As a family we used the beach everyday in order to launch our kayaks and paddle boards. We love the fact that we saw porpoises and seals swimming by and the boys went snorkelling to look at the sealife more closely. A holiday that made forever family memories.

Beautiful House and location

This house sits magnificently on the beach, so close to the water. Every bedroom window and all the living areas look out onto the water, for a relaxing ambience. The house is comfortable, well equipped and the lay out means you can always find a quiet space, The house and location offers something for everyone. We managed to go Paddle boarding, forest and coast walking, appreciate a shinty match, and a park and fairy trail for the wee ones to enjoy. We also watched dolphins and an otter. It’s a house to appreciate spending time with family and at the same time appreciating what nature offers you.

Spring break in Tighnabruaich

Spent a delightful few days with adult children and their partners in this perfect spot. It certainly lived up to our expectations - a really superior 'cottage' with a location on the water front that is impossible to beat. Two of our younger members actually went in swimming. Thanks for a great time.

Stunning house and views

The house was incredible, I've never stayed anywhere like it. The kitchen had all the appliances you could need and plenty of dishware. The beds and bedding were super comfortable and the showers and bath were great. Outdoor area was fantastic even in February, and we managed to get a dip in the water.

Stunning property and location

What an amazing place and property, we were a family of 6 and honestly we did not get in the way of each other at all. There were a couple of issues with no heating on when we arrived, so the house was freezing, no bin bags for rubbish, someone else's food remains in the cupboards, the fireplace had not been cleaned out of ashes. One of the main issues was floor cleaning was poor, there was old pasta under the sofa and dining table but my husband found the vacuum cleaner and we got the worst of it up. BUT, this does not take away from the fact that this property is outstanding. the Area is stunning and the people around in the village very welcoming. We had a very relaxing time and would definitely stay here again. Don't let the small issues above put you off, it certainly hasn't put us off wanting to return, but if there are issues, they need raising, can't only have the good reviews without being honest can you !

Annual retreat

I can’t recommend this highly enough, the accommodation was spot on, comfortable and well equipped, amazing views and lots of car park space - so great if you are all travelling from different locations. Couple of lamps needed new lightbulbs but that was a minor issue. Loved the private beach - we went wild swimming everyday (would recommend swim shoes though!)

July 21 Holiday

Spent a lovely week in house. Very comfortable in an awesome location. Weather was great so spent most of time outside but with 3 social areas inside there was plenty of space if the weather had not been as good. House was well equipped and laundry room was a real bonus. From reading previous reviews, we took some camping chairs for outside lounging in the sun. Perfect property and location for family holiday and would thoroughly recommend. Will definitely return.

Our second stay here and the owners have carried out some excellent refurbishments since last year. The location, facilities, equipment etc are all first class. The booking agents were very helpful to deal with during the Covid confusion over numbers allowed in the house !
