Fantastic Holiday destination
A spacious, fully equipped, excellently located home. We had such an incredible holiday, including visits to Argyle Coffee, Mount Stuart, Steam boat Waverley, Colintraive and Portavadia. I highly recommend this home, with its private beach, quiet location and amenities. Thank you to the owner for such a lovely home.

Taigh Na Mara
The house is fantastic, so roomy with all your entertainment needs catered for. We loved the floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the Kyles. As a family we used the beach everyday in order to launch our kayaks and paddle boards. We love the fact that we saw porpoises and seals swimming by and the boys went snorkelling to look at the sealife more closely. A holiday that made forever family memories.

Excellent location
Lovely property, spacious and well equipped, and in a fantastic position on the waterfront. Nearby Kames Hotel great for food, but Tighnabruaich a disappointment as very little open and virtually impossible to get lunch. A drive to Portavadie did secure lunch.

Stunning house and location
We really enjoyed our stay at Tighnabruaich. The house was very cosy and the views over the water were amazing. We cooked quite a lot and found that the kitchen was very well equipped and it was great having a dishwasher. It's a short walk into Kames or Tighnabruaich village and the water is calm enough to kayak. I'd love to come back and stay again for longer.

Stunning
Family holiday for three generations. Pretty much everything was excellent. The views from the location are truly amazing and the house itself is a sight to behold. Very spacious and has everything you could need. As easy as Kames is to find, you’ll need sat nav to find the house. The road to/from the house is a little treacherous on foot for those with mobility issues but plenty spaces to park vehicles at the house itself.

A lovely place to relax
Fantastic stay in this lovely house by the sea loch. Every room had fabulous views, and it was stunning in all weathers. Calm and still waters with reflections of Bute, then waves lapping on the beach, just outside the window. Fabulous to just sit, and watch the water. We spotted porpoises in front of the house! Loved all the rooms, especially the stunning conservatory, the big pool room with spectacular views, and sitting outside bird spotting. Quiet and peaceful. Beds were really comfy, with lovely linen, showers were great. Shop nearby, and the spa at Portaverdie only 10 mins away, with a luxurious outside heated pool, we all loved it. Definitely want to come back!

Fantastic location and the view is worth every penny. House has just about everything you need. (no handsoap and broadband stopped working). All minor issues however with a rubbish signal on mobile (three) couldn't really communicate! Loads of room in house and garden. With a bit of tlc inside and out would give 5 stars.

House was older and more worn out than appeared in images. Carpet fragments for area rugs, bathroom veneers, etc. The view from the glass room was excellent and favorite of the whole party. Great food nearby at Tide and Thyme. Also no hand soap was provided and WiFi was spotty at best
