We booked Cosses Country House because it was a convenient overnight stop on our return journey from a car rally in Mull and didn't realise then what a marvellous experience awaited us. On arrival we hardest the warmest of welcomes by Susan our hostess and were just in time for afternoon tea in the garden with her home made Victoria... More

I'm a bit late writing this review and I would have struggled to remember the finer details so it was nice to read other recent comments about this wonderful guest house. I wholeheartedly support what others have said and couldn't have described our stay any different. We came to stay here because our visitng Australian relatives wanted to capture Burns... More

We spent two nights at Cosses Country House whilst visiting Scotland and I have to say wow. We were in the Iona Suite with its enormous bedroom, wonderfully fitted bathroom and front room. We would strongly recommend you take dinner when you stay here. Dinner is served about 7pm where you meet in the living room (complete with crackling open... More

I have just returned home from 3 nights at Cosses Country House, a superb 5 star lodging in South West Scotland. We visited many castles and gardens during the day, and in the evenings enjoyed the exceptional 4 course meals Cosses offers, sometimes on our own, sometimes with other guests who were staying. The Cosses hostess has many years experience... More

As bridesmaid for my best friend's wedding, I wanted to give her a hen weekend to remember. When she mentioned she had never been to Scotland before, it seemed like the perfect place. We took a group of eight ladies (all ages) up to Susan's beautiful luxury guest house near Ballantrae in South West Scotland and it was a weekend... More

Arranging a hen party for my best friend, I didn't want a typical drunken city weekend so decided to go for this beautiful country retreat in South-West Scotland. It was a luxurious adventure weekend with fantastic cooking, a boat trip out to an island, a rocky climb, afternoon tea at a michelin starred castle and the best hospitality I have... More

Set in an idyllic location on the West coast of Scotland this Bed and Breakfast is a real find. We were greeted at the door by Susan Crosthwaite and her labradors and we knew then that this was a great find. The gardens are beautiful and the walks from the cottages are breath taking where you can look out to... More
