Great Spot
We all immediately felt relaxed upon walking through the door. The place just has a cozy feel. Would recommend to anyone that's looking to decompress and just hang out. You must go to Puck's Glen though, which will be more than enough exercise for your stay.

Beautiful and tranquil house
We loved our stay at the Eckford House. 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.

Early Summer Holiday
We enjoyed our stay at the house, as a family of 6 adults we had everything we needed and plenty of space for us all without feeling crowded. It’s a very pleasant country house and ideally located in the area.

Gorgeous house, wonderful location, perfect hosts
We stayed at Eckford House for 10 days and had the most wonderful time. We arrived to a warm house with a roaring fire, a bottle of Baileys and a box of biscuits on the table, fresh eggs in the fridge and gorgeous toiletries in our rooms. 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!) Thank you for everything, we had the most perfect Christmas and New Year break,

Hidden Gem of Dunoon
We had a fantastic 6 night stay at this hidden gem nestled near the forest in Benmore,Dunoon. The house was immaculate, comfy beds, lovely wood burning fire and a fabulous hot tub. Highly recommend this house! It’s fair to say we will be returning.

Nice stay shame about the owner!
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! Sad times!
