    generous breakfast
    immaculate rooms
    comfortable stay
    gravel path

    Had a fantastic time with friends! We explored some beautiful coastal areas and enjoyed the historic sites nearby. The breakfast was generous and delicious, setting the perfect start for our adventures. The rooms were warm and immaculate. I highly recommend the Double Room for comfort and a lovely stay.

    The gravel path gave me a bit of a scare with my motorcycle, but we managed to find some stability eventually.

    lack of amenities

    Hosts Jim and Ellie made our experience truly enjoyable with their warm hospitality. The breakfast, featuring delicious homegrown organic fruits, started each day on a high note. The spacious double room offered ample comfort, and having access to great Wi-Fi was a bonus. It’s a shame that we couldn't stay longer to explore more local recommendations, which we found intriguing.

    A Perfect Retreat Near Crinan Canal

    Just spent one night in the spacious family room. Ele and Jim went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend the Starfish in Tarbert for amazing seafood—worth the drive! Make sure to ask for dining recommendations. they have fantastic suggestions!

    Perfect getaway for me!

    Had an amazing stay here. The hosts were super welcoming, and the room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was a real treat, lots of options to choose from. The only issue was the thin walls. I could hear doors slamming at night. But honestly, it didn't ruin the vibe for me at all.

    Comfortable rooms with unique architecture from an old cinema, creating a distinct atmosphere. The beds are cozy, providing a perfect overnight stay after a long day of travel.

    Parking can be a bit tight at the back, which may be tricky for some to navigate. The decor feels a bit dated and lacks modern touches like extra plug sockets or USB ports next to the bed, which might be inconvenient for tech-savvy travelers.
