Coorie Doon, picturesque setting on Crinan Canal
5/5 Stars - VRBO Reviews - October 2023
After searching accommodating in Argyle i picked Coorie Doon & the property was beautiful. Very well appointed with everything you could think of & more. The area has so much to see & such history also. I would recommend picking this cottage & enjoying the whole experience of cottage & area. The only thing that could be better would be to do it in summer & watch the boats on the Crinan Canal.

Pretty, spotless, cottages with the Crinan Canal on your doorstep.

Excellent in every way
5/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - September 2023
So much good about this cottage. Location right on Crinan Canal with a great 4 mile walk to Crinan which has a lovely cafe and restaurant! The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Comfy bed, good heating system, hot water instantly. Easy parking close by. A very thoughtfully presented property which we much appreciated. Hope to return.
 
A fabulous week on the canal
5/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - June 2023
A lovely property with everything and I mean everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday. We walked the towpath and a couple of beaches, checked out the local area and some of the historical sites as well as watching the yachts sail slowly up the canal and then we just relaxed.
Ann and Steve have thought of everything, and the house is just so welcoming and comfortable we could have stayed on for a month. We even received messages during our stay telling us of all the local events, so that we missed nothing.
Thank you Ann and Steve for all your hard work in making such a lovely home from home and letting us share it, and then arranging the best weather Scotland has experienced in a long while.
 
Excellent location, spotlessly clean.

den gem on Crinan

5/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - April 2023

Stayed at Coorie Doon for 5 days, after a hour drive was a perfect place to relax unwind with a gin.
We could not have asked for more it was comfortable, had everything in which was great , kitchen was well stocked with all that you could need, décor was fabulous and cosy home away from home.
Loved all the little touches of sweets and biscuits only downside was it needed to be restocked.

Would like to thank Anne & Steve who was most helpful from the start to the end. Will defiantly be booking again this year at Coorie Doon on the Crinan great place to explore.

Easter at Coorie Doon

4/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - April 2023

Lovely cottage and very well kitted out. Only managed to sit outside the cottage 3 times for a coffee/wine, as it was a bit of a windy week, but it's a beautiful place to watch the world go by. Cottage very clean, especially all the kitchen utensils etc.

Will look to come back at a slightly later time of year.

 

Guest Review - August 2022
Our stay at Coorie Doon Cottage was absolutely wonderful! We had been traveling through Scotland for a couple of weeks and just needed some chill time, and this was the place! With gorgeous comfy beds, blankets, a great fireplace we were in cosy heaven. The outside area was wonderful to read a book and watch the boats come past. Anne and Steve have created a home away from home with all the comforts we needed! Our family can’t wait to return!!

 

Guest Review - July 2022
Dear Anne and Steve,

I hope you are all well. We arrived back in Dubai early this morning. We had the best time staying at Coorie Doon, and want to really thank you for the beautiful little place you created. We didn’t want for anything and everything we needed was there, a real home a way from home and we could just relax. My son has rated it a 10/10 stay and we all agree!  We can’t wait to come back!

 

Guest Review - July 2022 

We enjoyed our stay at Coorie Doon despite the rain.  Thankfully we did manage to coorie doon!

The Cottage was well equipped, comfortable and tastefully furnished/decorated.

When we did sit out in the garden it was a lovely spot to enjoy the sun and watch the sailing boats pass by.

I enjoyed reading the book you left which helped when visiting the historical sites in Kilmartin Glen.

Best regards,

Tom
