Ardfyne on Loch Fyne

5/5 Upfront Reviews - May 2023

Excellent house, which was used as a base to explore the area.
We had very good weather more or less when we were there (mid-May 23 for a week), which helps. Not many midges about!
The house was clean and comfortable with large kitchen area and dining area with two of all major white goods (two ovens, fridges, microwaves etc.).
Red squirrel watched us each breakfast most mornings.
Three (very) large bedrooms upstairs with en-suites, which we used (we were a party of three couples).
One bedroom downstairs with separate bathroom and I believe the house can accommodate up to ten.
The view from the upstairs seating area and verandah over the loch is lovely.
Highly recommended.

 

The quiet side of Loch Fyne
5/5 Star Upfront Reviews -  March 2022
If you wish a walk on the quiet side, then do not hesitate to stay at this lovely house, Ardfyne. With beautiful views over Loch Fyne to the west and in a great location altogether, this property is superbly well-equipped and spacious. Also, well-placed for an evening meal out in the nearby Creggans Inn, book ahead as this is a very busy restaurant with great seafood. Forest trails, mooching along the shoreline for shells and driftwood, hills and gardens to explore, and within easy distance of most places such as Inveraray, Benmore Gardens by Dunoon and your own hidden gems yet to discover in this lovely corner of south-west Argyll.

5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - May 2019

Ardfyne on Loch Fyne is a stunning house in an idyllic location. The main purpose of our stay was to have a base for our family while walking The Cowal Way which stretches from Portavadie to Inveruglas. The house is more or less half way along the route. The facilities, comfort, cleanliness were excellent with loch views to die for from the lounges and front bedrooms. A real find. I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends. The one negative about the property is the driveway. It is extremely steep, unsurfaced, uneven and not for the faint-hearted. Two members of the family got their cars stuck on the way up and had to be pushed out of potholes.

 

We loved this house.

A wonderful place to share time with family or friends. It was really spacious with a big kitchen and two lounges with fantastic views.

Tranquil with stunning views

5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - New Year 2017/8

The location is brilliant : views are amazing : really close to the Loch. Small local shop within walking distance and a great pub 15 minutes walk away: we came with a large group at New Years Eve and a local came out to play the bagpipes . Great for family and each bedroom ensuite made for comfort and privacy. Kitchen is huge and they have a huge dining table to support the full house. Clean and really comfortable the only fault was the clothes horse to dry clothes was broken - seriously couldn’t find anything else to complain about and me : I am fussy ! Loved it.
