House vacation rentals in Argyll and Bute Council

Andy’s house is fantastic for a celebration weekend. Twelve of us stayed there comfortably and there is so much public space that it’s easy to do different things yet assemble for meals. The view from the conservatory and garden is stunning. We had one person in a wheelchair and the house worked well for him too. Andy and Joan were welcoming and helpful.

Great holiday. The lodge is fabulous - clean and very well presented.

Really comfortable stay in a beautiful setting. Thank you

We had a fabulous stay here would highly recommend and would 100% come back. The house is spacious clean and quiet we had a great week here. Lots to do in the surrounding areas too to keep everyone happy.

Fantastic country estate home. We felt very much at home here. Set in some beautiful private grounds well out the way. Beautiful walks down the river and through the woods. The house is extremely spacious with all the mod cons you’d expect. The house felt warm and welcoming from the start. Very comfortable beds and sofas. Pool area was clean and tidy as well. Couldn’t rate this place enough. Overall a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Would happily return to Monkwood House.

My second stay at this place. Was very impressed the first time. A very relaxing and very tidy place to spend a weekend with family. Very good view of the sea and Alisa Craig island rock. Caroline and Stuart were very helpful and accommodating with my scheduling of the stay. Highly recommend this place.

We had a very cosy and comfortable stay in Lisa's caravan. It was well equipped, clean and warm. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Glasgow. We had the best of both worlds, a beautiful view and landscape to explore plus an easy train into the city. It ticked all the boxes.

We sadly only got to spend one night in this lovely house, we would happily have stayed much longer if time allowed. It was a spacious home away from home for our group of 8 after a day in the hills of Glencoe. We had so much fun playing darts, pool and table tennis in the games room and the hot tub and the views were fantastic. The water pressure in the shower was strong and luxurious and the shower products were lovely too. I fortunately the King bed was as hard as the floor which I found impossible to sleep on, but some people might like a very hard bed. The bedding was spotlessly clean and fresh and there was even some extra bedding in the hallway closet which was really helpful. Overall a really great stay. Would definitely stay again (just in a different bed 😉)

Brian was a fantastic host with an absolutely stunning property! The surrounding area is scenic and the property well stocked with everything you could need. We had an issue with extreme weather during our trip, but Brian was incredibly responsive and accommodating, helping to sort everything out quickly. We would definitely return!

Great cozy place with an amazing view. We felt ‘at home’ from the moment we entered the house. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful place. Absolutely spotless and cosy. Tina was outstanding and so friendly. First time away with our dog and it was honestly perfect. We will definitely be back. Thanks for hosting us. Suzi, Ross, Finlay and Cooper xx

Pictures do not do accomodation justice. Kitchen/living space is phenomenal. We had a great family trip. Close enough to the main estate/facilities yet far enough away that it is very peaceful. Definitely 5 star accommodation and worth the extra £££s.

We loved our stay in Whiting Bay. Grant’s house was lovely! When we arrived we were greeted with a gift basket and the stove burner was ready to go! House had everything we needed and plenty of space for 5 adults and a toddler. The location was fab and we loved looking out the bay window each morning and were lucky to see a couple of pods of dolphins passing! Overall, we had a great stay and Grant was an excellent host!

Great place to stay while in Islay! So cozy and comfortable. Beds were comfy. Bathrooms were clean and had everything needed. Kitchen was large and we enjoyed cooking a meal while staying here. Lots of kitchen necessitates. Host was friendly and instructions were clear. We were nice and warm despite it being cold outside. Loved being close to some of the distilleries and somewhat centrally located on the island for everything else. Great spot!

Wonderful stay at this lovely house. Amazingly clean and everything we needed. Helen was really friendly and helpful. We had a brilliant time. Would 100% recommend.

Beautiful and comfortable home from home in a stunning location. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

I rented Paul's accommodation for 7 weeks in total and it was lovely, clean and very handy for our tour during their rehearsal period. I shall definitely book again for more rehearsals in Jan/Feb/March 2025. Paul was also very responsive if we needed anything. I would highly recommend this house.

The Black House was perfect for our weekend on Islay. It was a great home base location for exploring all of the island. The house had everything we needed and has the most amazing views. We would definitely stay here again!

We received a lovely welcome from Cath and thoroughly enjoyed our time in her beautiful home. We would have no hestitation in recommending it to family and friends.

Nice clean and modern place within a 10-15 minute walk of the centre of town. Excellent value for money with responsive and friendly hosts, thanks guys!

Felt like home away from home. Very cosy, clean, and quiet. A great place to explore Ayrshire.

Arguably the best location on the island in terms of accessibility - 5 minute walk from the ferry, absolutely fantastic shop and the nook chippie right next door, 5 minute walk to the cafe, 2 minute walk to the boathouse and 5 minute walk to a lovely little beach to let the dogs run around and explore. As we stayed off season we were aware that the local amenities were on reduced hours or closed for the winter but it didn’t impact our time on Gigha as there is plenty to see and do. Highly recommend a dip in the sea at the twin beaches! Nicola was available for all our queries and responded immediately to our messages and calls - highly recommend this lovely home. It was also lovely to be greeted with some local milk and tablet and the dogs were not forgotten either with treats provided to welcome them also. Thanks, we will be back!

Lovely lovely house in very peaceful surroundings. Would definitely use again. Excellent, responsive host.
