My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and can heartily recommend it. The hosts are marvelous, the room (Lamont) was spacious and in tip-top shape, and breakfast options were varied and high-quality (products are locally-sourced whenever possible, including Jenifer's home-made yogurt). The lounge is very inviting with its comfortable seating and wood fire. The view across Loch Fyne... More

We spent only a night en route from Loch Lomond to the West. This B&B situated on the shores of Loch Fyne has glorious views of the loch and beyond to Inverary. Seems isolated but if you're already in the Highlands, this is bliss. It has a very cosy living room (with a nice warm fire on in the freplace)... More

From the beautiful setting to the cozy and inviting rooms, to the service of the wonderful hosts - everything was perfect at this B&B and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. An extra plus for me was that the hosts insisted on carrying my mother's luggage up to her room and back to the car, a service that we... More

On the shore on Loch Fyne opposite Inveraray. This lovely old Scottish home has been well kept, is well appointed and has a beautiful outlook. Although the closest restaurant is a 5 minute drive, the experience of staying at this guest house is worth it, plus Jennifer & Alistair were extremely good hosts. Breakfast was outstanding.

The Thistle house is a lovely B&B. My husband and I stayed here for one night on our way to Islay. The location is very picturesque and the bed and breakfast fits right in. Each room is named after a different Scottish Clan and was nicely decorated. Jennifer was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed our stay. The... More

This is a lovely B&B in a great location, with wonderful views. Jennifer and Alastair are very welcoming and gracious hosts. The room was big, comfortable and well appointed. The beds are comfy with good pillows. Breakfast was terrific. All in all, good value and we strongly recommend this B&B.

We had a wonderful stay here last week. Lovely house. Big comfy Lounge with fire. Perfect for relaxing with tea and scones. Room was lovely and the views amazing. Breakfast was also delicious and perfectly presented despite the snow knocking the power out briefly. I'd stay here again.

Well, what can a I say? Amazing! Jennifer was the perfect host with a perfect setting. I was greeted with a warm welcome after a long day travelling. A great room with a super view over the loch. First time over on the West coast, so was usure where to stay. But Thistle House proved to be an excellent choice.... More
