Delighted to have experienced the Thistle House Guest House. It was a truly 5 star visit with nothing being too much trouble to the proprietors. Warm, comfortable and clean with stunning views across the Loch. Great benefit of a large guest’s lounge to relax in as well! Lovely freshly prepared breakfast to set us on our way! Thank you.

Having stayed at Thistle House many years ago we were interested to see how it had developed and came with two friends. We were not disappointed. Sue and Nick were perfect hosts. From our welcome tea and cake to being driven by Nick to our dinner venue. The beds were voted the most comfortable on our Scottish trip and our breakfast the best we had experienced.

This is our third visit to sue and Avril at Thistle Guest House , nothing is to much trouble . They have a lovely quiet and relaxing atmosphere and are very attentive . The house is beautifully decorated to a high standard . The coffee and cake on arrival is always a lovely touch and the breakfast is fabulous . See you both next year ! The Bakers .

It was lovely returning to Thistle House and meeting Sue and Avril. They couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome greeting us with tea and cake. The breakfast was delicious. Our room was very comfortable, warm and clean with everything we needed. We will be returning.

Thistle House is a very charming place. Lovely old house, peaceful, with a magnificent view on the Loch.Kind people, tasteful breakfast. Just perfect.

As always Avril and Sue were the perfect hosts, with nothing too much trouble.The house is beautiful with great attention to detail, including the fabulous breakfast.It’s a lovely area to stay in and there are so many things to see and places to visit.We shall be back xx

The locstion is amazing, overlooking the loch. Poperty is exquisite. Large bedroom with comfy bed. Verg modern en suite bathroom. Beautiful lounge and dining room. Hospitable owner. I would return here in a minute. The best place of our travels.

We really loved our stay in this well-maintained and spotless guest home.Our hostesses were so kind and accommodating.They offered us tea/coffee when we arrived, and were helpful with restaurant suggestions as well.Breakfast was very good - and made to your specifications.I wouldn't hesitate to stay or recommend this pretty place!

One of the best B&B I’ve ever been. Everything was just perfect, from the most lovely checkin with coffee/tea and homemade cake as a welcome, in the beautiful lounge, to the bedroom which is a family room with 2 bedrooms actually, and a top notch breakfast, amazing value for money, beautiful mansion… everything was perfect! Location is perfect with a gorgeous view on the loch. Highly recommended.

A dream location, the house with attention to every detail is very elegant and welcoming. The very kind owner pampered us with tea and sweets in a beautiful living room with a wonderful view of the lake. My heart remains here.❤

We enjoyed spectacular views from our beautiful, very comfortable room.Tea and biscuits in the spacious lounge Upon our arrival was a lovely.Breakfast was delicious and ample choices.Room was spotless and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here againor recommend.

Nothing too much trouble

The Thistle House is a gem, we truly enjoyed our stay. The service and breakfast was over the top as well as the comfort of our rooms.Definitely a place to consider.

Beautiful property with great landscaping, lovely enquire rooms an thoughtful hosts. Right across from the loch, you don't often get a view like this.

je recommande vivementcette maison d'hôtes avec vue sur le loch : accueil très chaleureux , belle décoration , confort , petit déjeuner délicieux, vente de produits locaux : tout est réuni pour garder de ce séjour un merveillleux souvenir !

We stayed one night at Thistle House Guest House and it was fantastic. The family room was lovely and comfortable and breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Reizende Gastgeber! Sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

Lovely property with cozy great room. Updated rooms and bathrooms. Very comfortable bed but comforter too warm for summer weather. Very hospitable owners and staff. Setting is amazing with views across Loch Fyne to Inveraray and castle.

Really enjoyed our short stay here.Avrill and Sue were perfect welcoming hosts, our room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and with a large comfortable bed. We had a nice view overlooking the water across to Inveraray.Finished off our stay with lovely breakfast.Couldn’t ask for anything more - highly recommended!

Exceeded expectation. Fabulous location on the Loch, beautifully furnished comfortable room and great choice for breakfast which was delicious. Welcome ing hosts, Lloyd round excellent value and thoroughly recommended...especially the breakfast marmalade with a 'little nip'!

Once again the proprietors have gone that extra mile to make our stay with them perfect in every way. This is the 5th stay with them in as many years and we look forward to our next stay which is already booked for July 2025.

We came to the area from the US for a wedding, and stayed a couple days at the Thistle House. Everything about it was great. It was a beautiful building, the room was large and well appointed, Sue and her sister were nice hosts, and the breakfasts were amazing.

signora Sue, che gestisce l'hotel con la signora Avril, ci ha accolti con molta cortesia e ci ha offerto tè, caffè e dolci in un salotto simile a quelli visti nei castelli che abbiamo visitato. La stanza è spaziosa e dotata di numerosi cassetti e un bell'armadio. A colazione abbiamo potuto gustare croissants e pain au chocolate deliziosi, waffle, omelette, pane tostato burro e marmellata. Abbiamo potuto scegliere la colazione in un menù particolarmente ricco. Bagno perfetto e con lo spazio e i ganci per appendere gli asciugamani bagnati.L'hotel èun pò isolato ma direi che fa parte del suo fascino: garantisce tranquillità.Meravigliosa esperienza!

Lovely to be back sharing a few days at Thistle House in the company of the Edwards family

Excelente en todo aspecto: atención recibida de las personas a cargo, presentación de las instalaciones y mobiliario, también un excelente desayuno.

We were running behind schedule, called The Thistle House Guest House and she gave us suggestions of where to stop and get something for dinner. They were so sweet and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing. Large room, piping hot shower and the beds are so comfortable. If you are traveling to or through Invernay I suggest you staying with Thistle House Guest House.

Sembrava di entrare in un sogno. Le due signore che gestiscono la guest house sono spettacolari. Posto molto accogliente che sa di casa, colazione eccellente preparata al momento in base alle nostre volontà. La camera completa e molto bella, attenta al dettaglio. Consiglio assolutamente

Bonjour Sue,Nous tenions à vous remercier pour votre accueil, nous nous sommes sentis comme des amis.Tous ces petits détails de décoration qui ont fait de notre séjour un moment inoubliable, cette vue magnifique sur le Loch,ces jeux de lumière changeant au bonvouloir du soleil, ces petits déjeuners incroyables.Merciiii de nous avoir permis de vivre ces instants magiques pour fêter nos 30 années de mariage...C'était une seconde lune de miel....

The rooms with a view overlooking Loch Fyne are comfortable and nicely furnished. The staff is friendly and the breakfasts are great.

The best guest house we have stayed in, with good breakfast, room and attention to detail.

We were staying for three nights for a summer break. We usually stay in hotels but this guesthouse was actually better than a hotel and the owners were lovely and so helpful. We had a lovely big room with fantastic views over the loch. There was a huge lounge to hang around in and lovely grounds with tables and chairs set up outside overlooking the loch. Breakfasts were excellent.

Wonderful guest house. Each room is beautifully decorated and has a really special feel. The lounge area is grand yet comfortable, with stunning views.We are always made to feel very welcome and well looked after. Lovely part of Scotland to explore. We’ve stayed severaland the high standards and quality of service remains the same each time. Highly recommend.

Response

Thank you Nicole.

What a lovely gem of a place. Hosts Avril and Sue are such genuine, friendly and consummate professionals when hosting. We were greeted warmly and given a personal tour of the home and rooms. Offered tea and cakes on arrival, a lovely touch.The house is 3 stories tall and a traditional building. 5 rooms are rented, the lower floor has a large double length lounge which is available to use by any guest. Games and books can be found in here. The other room downstairs is for breakfast. 4 rooms have front facing windows and the views are stunning. We staying in McPherson on the top floor and found it perfect.The room had all you could need, tea/coffee station, soaps and amenities, lovely ensuite, small chairs and table with a view to the front loch and very comfortable bedding. Milk and chilled water are available in a small fridge in the hall downstairs.Breakfast is pre ordered and time slots given, so you can choose when to enjoy your meal. We loved the locally sourced produce and preserves. Coffee on tap and warm hospitality throughout.For the price paid, the views available, and the charm of the place it's just gorgeous, don't question it, just book this place... Now.

Response

Thank you so much Stephen for your kind words… we really appreciate it!Thank you also for your being such fun guests and telling us so many wonderful stories and making us smile.

We couldn't rate our experience more highly. Avril and her sister in law, Sue made us feel very welcome and trusted, including bringing us refreshments in the guest sitting room when we arrived; which we weren't expecting. The house and our room was finished and presented to a very high standard and was immaculately clean. The breakfast was of a high quality and perfectly cooked. It's a stunning location, we never tired of sitting with a book or making desultory conversation in the evenings looking out across Lough Fyne. Above all, the setting is an extremely peaceful one. 10 out of 10 to Avril and Sue.

We travel all over the world and are used to staying in top quality although usually corporate styled hotels, as I was due to participate in a BDMLR course at the nearby Lochgoilhead,we decided to stay at the Thistle House Guest House, and what a find, from the minute we arrived we received an exceptional welcome, we were shown to a beautiful room with stunning views,we were then invited to the lounge for coffee ,cake and shortbread, the hosts could not do enough for us preparing early breakfasts ( delicious omletes)and we had requested packed lunches which by any standards were incredible, sandwiches, sausage rolls, cake , biscuits , crisps, and fruit ,water, all for an exceptionally reasonable price, the guest house was immaculatethroughout spotlessly clean ,we felt like we were the first guest to have entered this sumptuous property, it was so well looked after,the property was fully occupied yet we felt as if we were the only guests and so enjoyed the grandeur of Thistle House , additionally the hosts were kind enough to give us details of nearby restaurants which allowed us to book in advance. finally we had an exceptionally comfortable sleep, the rooms are all en-suite with well equipped bathrooms with shower, ample parking and well signposted in both directions, definitely visit again !!!

Response

We had a really fantastic accommodation for one night. On arrival, we were invited to tea in the lounge and asked if we would like a lift to a restaurant in the evening. After a hot shower, tea and a good night's sleep, we had a wonderful breakfast the next morning as ordered. Avril then kindly drove us to the start of our next stage on the Cowal Way, as she had offered again. Thanks!

We have just spent 6 nights at this wonderful b and b and it was perfect. Sue and Avril were so kind making sure we were ok. Everywhere was spotless , our shower room hadlovely Scottish toiletries , the bed was comfortable and there were ample tea and coffee making facilities. Our room looked over the garden and the Loch.The beautiful lounge was so peaceful to sit in to read or play a game.The breakfasts were delicious with so much choice you could have something different each day if you wished. This area of Scotland is beautiful, it’s quiet. It is halfway between Dunoon and Inverary and there is plenty to do for a few days if you research the area. Sue and Avril are full of ideas of things to do too. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Thistle House, it’s perfect!

Having stayed last year with my partner I was delighted to return to let my parents experience staying here and enjoy both the great location and the wonderful hospitality of Sue and Avril.We all had a fabulous stay despite the mixed weather and it was so lovely to make use of the lovely lounge to escape the weather and relax in comfort. The rooms were both lovely with wonderful views over Loch Fyne across to Inverary. The wonderful choices at breakfast met each of our different preferences - including thoseof my mum who is gluten intolerant. Freshly cooked to individual order they were a wonderful way to start each day . All in all a wonderful stay and we will definitely return.

It's across the loch from Inveraray, but worth the drive. Beautiful vistas from the house, which was attractively appointed and comfortable.

From the time we walked in we were warmly greeted and made to feel at home. Our hostess took us to our room and made sure we were familiar with all the necessities. Our room was comfortable and had a beautiful view of the loch. Before we left for a drive to dinner, we were offered tea and cake in front of a warm coal fire. After we returned the fire was still stoked and we were able to relax and read before turning in. The morning’s breakfast selection was plentiful and delicious. I must admit I chose several items on the menu and each was well prepared. We would highly recommend this B&B.

An excellent experience.The hosts were simply lovely and so extremely helpful.Working out details from directions, to dinner reservations, to extra blueberries with my home cooked porridge.Ine breakfast there, and no need for a lunch.Being greeted with a cup of ta was exceptional and so thoughtful.The room was exceptional.And the breakfast was professionally done.Well done, women.VERY impressive.Although a little out of theway, it is wellworth the experience.

Thank you Ken and Glynis. We really appreciate your kind words.

Das Thistle Guest House ist ein 4-Sterne Gästehaus, direkt am Loch Fyne, das seine 4 Sterne nicht verdient! Es müssten 5 sein!Zunächst zum äußeren Eindruck. Es handelt sich um ein älteres Gästehaus, dass liebevoll in Schuss gehalten wurde und technisch auf einem sehr zeitgemäßen Stand (2023) gebracht wurde. Unten ist der Frühstücksraum und der Aufenthaltsraum, die bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht wurden, sehr gemütlich und einladend sind.Die Zimmer lassen keinen Wunsch offen, jedes wurde unterschiedlich (farblich) eingerichtet und runden das bereits im Erdgeschoss gemachte Bild ab - sehr gemütlich und einladend und fast vergessen sehr sauber! Das Badezimmer war das Beste, dass wir bisher in Großbritannien erlebt habe, gemütlich, technisch top und ebenfalls sehr sauber.Nun zu den beiden Damen, die dieses Haus außerordentlich führen. Beide sind zuvorkommend, höflich, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Direkt bei Ankunft haben wir einen Tee mit Gebäck erhalten und durften erstmal ankommen. Das Frühstück am Morgen war außergewöhnlich und der perfekte Start in den Tag. Unbedingt empfehlenswert ist der Lokal hergestellte Orange Jam.Wir, Familie mit zwei erwachsenen Kindern, empfehlen das Thistle Guest House uneingeschränkt weiter und werden hierhin in 1-2 Jahren wiederkommen!

Response

Thank you so much Michael for your lovely review. We really appreciate it.

With regret I have to say that this is the best B&B I have ever stayed in. From the quality and comfort of the rooms, to the immaculate cleanliness of the whole place and the beautiful views over Loch Fyne to the lovingly prepared Breakfast and warm hospitality offere by Sue and Avril, it is just perfect! And that's why I said "with regret", as I know this review will make it more difficult to find availability when I want to visit next, but I have to allow for others to experience this gem of a place. :-)

Response

Thank you Birgit, it was lovely to be able to welcome you back to Thistle house.

My girlfriend and I had a great, comfortable stay at Thistle House Guest House. Finding the place and parking was easy, and we were well taken care of from the moment we arrived.

Response

Thank you for your lovely review. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your holiday in Scotland.

We were fortunate to stay here for two nights towards end May as start of our holiday on the West Coast; this is a wonderful B&B in a fantastic lochside location. Our son and daughter in law had stayed here twice and we were so pleased they recommended it to us.Ours was a lovely room overlooking Loch Fyne with stunning views; an on suite shower room and facilities, comfortable bed all spotlessly clean and well appointed. One could not want for more.Breakfast was delicious and generous.Avril and Sue are perfect hosts and we have no hesitation in recommending the Thistle Guest House which we will book again on our next trip to the West Coast.The Thistle sells on behalf of a talented family member a delightful range of ceramic candles and small pottery items. We can also highly recommend Benmore Botanic Gardens, and do make a trip to St. Munn’s Church at Kilmun should you have time.

Thank you very much Thomas. We hope that you all enjoy onward trip to Islay.

Wir waren leider nur 2 Tage zu Besuch. Hätten wir gewusst, wie toll es ist, wir wären länger geblieben und hätten von dort mehr unternommen.Das Haus ist wunderschön gelegen mit Blick in den tollen Garten oder auf den See.Es gibt Sitzmöbel im Garten und im Erdgeschoss einen wunderschön eingerichteten Raum für alle Bewohner.Wir hatten ein Zimmer zur Seeseite und es ist wirklich äußerst gemütlich eingerichtet und der Ausblick ist der Wahnsinn. Alles war sehr sauber.Die Erreichbarkeit über die Hauptstraße ist ebenfalls sehr gut.Das Castle und das Dorf von Inveraray sind zu sehen, man fährt aber fast eine halbe Stunde hin, da es genau gegenüber vom Wasser liegt ;-)Sue und Avril waren unglaublich freundlich und tolle Gastgeber. Nicht oft haben wir so freundliche Menschen kennengelernt, die offensichtlich das lieben was sie tun.

Thistle House Guest House: Highly recommend - either as a stopover en route to Oban and/or Dunoon, or for longer stay as it's in a great location for exploring the area.We were contacted a few days in advance to ensure all our requirements were catered for, and to provide us with pubs/restaurants in the area for evening meal as the guest house doesn't cater in evenings. On arrival, we were provided with tea and biscuit/cake. Beautiful views, games provided in the lounge, Fantastic breakfast.We even had a rainbow across the loch at Inverary when we departed.Would definitely recommend.

Bref, un endroit où on a envie de revenir se poser pour quelques jours.

Beautiful setting on the shores of Loch Fyne. Very welcoming hosts. Choice of 2 rooms. We took the smaller one with views over the loch.

Thank you Thistle House.

Thank you for your lovely review.

I was welcomed at the door and given tea and cake which was lovely, the level of hospitality was second to none. The standard of the house was outstanding, well kept and very inviting. My room was lovely overlooking the lock, everything I needed. The breakfast was amazing and had a choice of exactly what I wanted. I cannot wait to stay again

I spent six days at Thistle House Guesthouse and loved every minute of it. Sue and Avril are amazing hosts. The rooms are beautiful and have everything you could possibly need. The cozy lounge room with a fire is lovely in the evenings. I loved being free to do my own thing, but knowing that I could call Sue if I had any issues. I chose to hike and use public transport which at times made life interesting, but Sue and Avril had plenty of tips to help me. I miss having breakfast with views of the loch. I hope to come back again!

Response

Thank you Rachel for your lovely review. We’re glad that you enjoyed your stay, and that you managed to navigate the local transport so well. We hope that one day you will return to Scotland and stay with us again.

Above all we were made to feel so welcome. We spent some time in the lovely lounge with its comfy settees and views of the loch.m

The stay has been spectacular. The house is wonderful, it is impeccable and everything is taken care of to the smallest detail. You feel like you are at home.

I would like to give you some details of my stay at Thistle Guesthouse in St Catherines.First I explained to the owners that I would arrive by bicycle and as such could not give an accurate time of arrival.On my arrival, 1.5hrs earlier, than check in time, this wasn't a problem.Keys for an immaculate room handed over, I was offered a very welcomed coffee with cake and shortbread.You did not have to ask for anything, perfect hospitality from the owners!Beautiful spot, lovely atmosphere, exceptional friendliness I would not hesitate to recommend Thistle Guesthouse to my friends.For a rating, 5stars and a half

The Thistle House Guest House was the highlight stay of our trip to Scotland.The location is stunning, overlooking a loch and hills beyond.The grounds are obviously well tended and we had a delightful afternoon sipping wine while admiring the views. The house is so lovely, immaculately clean, comfortable, and welcoming in every way. Our room was perfect, having 2 very comfortable beds and a modern and once again spotlessly clean bathroom. Breakfast was abundant and so so delicious… we were able to select anything we desired and it was graciously presented by the kind hosts.The hostesses are the true gem of this establishment, welcoming us like friends and treating with care and hospitality throughout our stay.We are so grateful we were lucky enough to have stayed in this exceptional home and recommend it without hesitation to discerning travelers.

They were delicious and homemade served in lovely handmade pottery.We could not recommend this place more.

This is a lovely Guest House on the bank of Loch Fyne. Very accommodating and helpful. No restaurants or shops within walking distance but a lovely restaurant and shops at nearby Creggans/Strathur, a few miles away by car.

Just returned from 4 comfortable nights staying at the Thistle.Breakfast’s lovely. I loved the daily fresh fruit salad.

L'accueil est des plus chaleureux de part la gentillesse de l'hôte mais aussi les lieux , tout est très accueillant. Les hôtes sont aux petits soins et il n'y a absolument rien à dire. Comme à chaque fois que nous venons en Ecosse les gens sont adorables, ça change des français... Surtout chez nous dans le sud ... Merci beaucoup, et dans la maison tout est parfait. Nous avons passé une merveilleux moment.Merci mille fois

Sue and her sister-in-law were wonderful hosts. The house is beautifully situated on the lake with stunning authentic décor. We were greeted with a cup of tea and cake in the lounge by the open fire on arrival and provided a delicious home cooked breakfast the next morning. Our room was cosy and with plenty of space for two large suitcases, a desk and sofa for relaxing. We had a short drive down to the local pub for a nice dinner. All in all a fantastic stay, we would have loved to stay longer.

We stayed at The Thistle as part of my 50th Birthday trip to Scotland. My wife and I were both so impressed. The staff were absolutely lovely, the guest house was spotlessly clean and quaintly decorated. Breakfast was delicious and we had a wide choice. Large extremely comfy bed. Would highly recommend just for those reasons but must say that the highlight was definitely the location! Breathtaking views of Loch Fyne! Peaceful and majestic. We’ll absolutely be back! X

We had a very comfortable night and a delicious breakfast. Would particularly rate the cosy sitting room and fire. Also got great tips on the local area – we loved Puck's glen! Thanks so much.

We had a wonderful stay. It a beautiful and comfortable home.The bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The breakfast was delicious and Avril and Sue were great hostesses

Well what can we say!!They say first impressions count and from the moment we got there we noticed how clean and friendly it was.We were greeted on arrival by Avril, who was lovely, she took us to our room and explained a few things then she offered us tea in the lovely spacious lounge (we had to decline as we were going straight out for tea).The next day at breakfast we met Sue, who was also lovely and the breakfast was gorgeous, every need and taste was catered for.The rooms in the guest house are very traditional (in keeping with the house) but very pretty, spacious and well coordinated, with everything you would need for your stay.The guest house is set in beautiful surroundings, very tranquil with a great view of the loch and well situated for visiting places.There is a place to eat about 3-4 miles along the road (which Sue and Avril recommended) or around the loch to Inveraray where there are several choices.Thank you Sue and Avril for yourwonderful hospitality, we had a great weekend and we will definitely be back!!Elaine and Trevor

Thank you Lior for your kind words. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay.

Thistle House is without doubt one of the best bed and breakfast establishments we have stayed in. It’s great location aside, it is beautifully furnished, comfortable and clean. Hosts, Sue and Avril, went above and beyond with their hospitality. They want their guests to have the best possible stay. Breakfast was freshly cooked with locally sourced produce and very ample. On top of all this it is also exceptional value for money. Highly recommended!

The owners of this B and B have got it spot on. Comfortable, homely, welcoming and the most amazing views across Loch Fyne to Inveraray Castle. If you're touring in this area, don't miss a stay here. The breakfast was excellent and the beds comfortable. If you find stairs difficult, ask for a first floor room when you book.

Thank you Valerie for your lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay.

Wonderful stay at the Thistle House B and B. The new owners have been in place for about two years and run a marvelous bed-and-breakfast about 20 minutes outside of Inverary. Beautiful furnishings with comfortable spacious rooms and a great breakfast. Hosts are very accommodating and offer good suggestions for the area. Good value. Highly recommended.

My wife and I stayed here while traveling with our adult son and his partner. We enjoyed our stay immensely as it is a beautiful property with charming and welcoming hosts. The facilities are excellent and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend it.

I enjoyed my stay very much, everything was perfect.I appreciate the kindness and hospitality of the staff, and the great breakfast..!

Response

Thank you so much Sarah for your lovely review. We look forward to seeing you again if you are back next year.

We had a lovely stay at the Thistle House as part of our honeymoon. We stayed for two nights in the MacPherson room, which was snug but very comfortable with an ensuite bathroom, sitting area, and beautiful view of the Loch. Avril and Sue were excellent hosts, very flexible and offering good advice of things to see in the area. The breakfast each day was cooked to order and was a generous portion. The house itself was very quiet and had a beautiful garden with a stunning view and outdoor seating area for admiring it. It was a very nice visit and I would definitely return!

Absolutely perfect stay.The house has a beautiful view of the loch, ideal location.The hosts are the nicest and very friendly and made us feel at home.Rooms have been comfortable and spotless, breakfast was the best our family had, we were all looking forward to having them every morning during our stay!We found it strange that this guest house was rated 4 stars, because we strongly believe it is worth more than that- 5 stars

The window in our room had a gorgeous view across the loch, highlighted by an amazing rainbow in the morning. Everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast had many delicious options.The hosts were welcoming and very helpful.We were very happy with our stay at Thistle House.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review.

We loved this beautiful guest house.Both Avril and Sue were so welcoming.The rooms were lovely and the level of cleanliness was outstanding.

Charming, comfortable and quiet house tended by Sue and Avril in the most welcoming and responsive fashion.Our room was spacious and clean and the breakfast was very well made.

We stayed at 4 B&Bs during our 7-day Scotland trip - Thistle House was the best.

It was so beautiful in this house, you hardly wanted to leave it. The owners are sweet as can be, the breakfasts are just lovely (fresh waffles, croissants, fantastic fruit salad), our room overlooking the water and Inverary Castle could not have been nicer. You can write books here! The bathroom with everything you could need, very nice light and a mirror landscape. We slept very well. No ghosts in the house. Assistance with carrying luggage. It doesn't get any better than that.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.

The guest house was located close to and ahead of the sea, which gave an excellent view with Invaray on the other side.

The welcome from Sue and Avril is really warm and they put a lot of thought into making their guests comfortable. This is a lovely area and it is well worth staying several nights at Thistle House.

The Thistle House Guest House exceeded our expectations! This is a true gem and a delightful stay. Sue and Avril were so kind and attentive. Our rooms were very comfortable and our views were beautiful. The decorations are warm and inviting. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and filling. The jam and marmalade served with the toast was so delicious we had to take some home. Sue was kind enough to assist us in finding a table at the Creggans down the road where we had a wonderful meal. We wish we could have stayed longer and certainly plan to return!

Response

Thank you so much Laura for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Thistle House and hope that you enjoy the rest of your holiday in Scotland.

Well… if there are 5 star hotels (and I have really been to many of them) then this place should have at least 7!!! Nah… 8, yes 8 stars minimum! It’s a category of its own. Sue is doing more then words can describe in order to make you feel at home. My children started complaining right after we entered our room when I told them that we would just stay there for one day and leave the next day for the Isle of Skye. They wanted to stay there like forever. My wife too… Room, view to the sea, front garden, furniture, decor, common living room, breakfast, cleanliness, politeness, service… PERFECT. Well… perfect is again too poor to describe our experience there. If this place has a free room and it’s on your way (or close to it), book it without the slightest doubt. It’s just a 20 minutes drive to Inveraray to see the castle. Sue thank you, you are an example and a wonderful person!

Response

Thank you so much Stefanos for such a lovely review. I really appreciate it. It was lovely meeting your family and I hope that you have a wonderful time on Skye.

We were given first class treatment from Sue from beginning to end. Beautiful bedroom overlooking Loch Fyne and an excellent breakfast. We will return!

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again for a return visit.

En route from East Sussex to Mull, we chose the Thistle House Guest House for a one night stop-over from the internet description and were delighted with our choice. From the friendly welcome to an excellent breakfast every expectation was met or exceeded. A wonderful old house, tastefully modernised to high standards and set in a beautiful location - what more could you wish for!

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Im glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you have a lovely time on Mull.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Thistle House, from start to finish. We semi knew the area but this beautiful villa set in some fantastic surroundings with fabulous views proved to be the perfect base for our exploration of the Cowal Peninsula and surrounding Argyll area.Greeted by owner Sue, we were shown to our lovely comfortable and well appointed bedroom overlooking Loch Fyne. Breakfast was of a good quality and set you up for the day ahead. Special mention goes to Sue for her expertly cooked poached eggs.Overall we had four fantastic days here and I would say this is the best guest house I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Will most definitely be staying here again when we visit next.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review… ( especially the egg bit !) lol…. I’m so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that you will both stay with us again.

Response

Thank you Moshe for your lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Thistle House.

The house is situated in a beautiful setting and my room at the front overlooked Loch Fyne. Was made to feel very welcome and enjoyed coffee and cake in the lounge on arrival. My room was beautifully decorated, the bed extremely comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. A beautiful house in a perfect location for visiting many of the local attractions and Glasgow airport is just over an hour away by car. Breakfast also was exceptional and my only regret is that my stay was so short but a good reason to return.

Response

Thank you Sally for your lovely review.

Many thanks to Sue & Avril for everything they did for us in our mid-week break especially looking after my wife following an ankle injury. They went above and beyond what would have been expected.Amazing standards in the bedrooms (as a McLaughlan we were chuffed to stay in MacLachlan room!); the classy sitting room with cosy coal fire; and the full Scottish breakfasts that kept us going all day!Great location for exploring Inveraray and beyond and for eating out, especially the Creggans Inn and the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar.Thanks for a great break in difficult circumstances, Ian and Ann

Our hosts went the extra mile to make us feel welcome,the pot of tea and cake on arrival was just what we needed after such a long journey,nothing was too much trouble. By far the best bed and breakfast in St Catherine's/Inveraray,we look forward to staying again in the near future.

Great views, superb rooms - spotless and beautifully decorated. The breakfast - what a choice! And again perfect. I can’t think of anything that could be improved upon.

We had a lovely stay in the superbly comfortable Thistle House Guest House.Friendly and helpful welcome, clean and beautiful room, great power shower, and I loved the big drawing room with comfy sofas to enjoy the loch view and open fire. A fabulous place to stay.

The room was large, well furnished and clean. The en-suite was of a high standard and the bed , very comfortable. Breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty. A beautiful property in lovely grounds with superb views. I would recommend it would use it again if passing that way.

Response

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Thistle House.

We had a super night at this beautiful guest house. From roaring fire in the lounge to the beautiful rooms with stunning views over the water! In the morning, our breakfasts were exceptional and it felt like nothing was too much trouble.Many thanks for looking after us so well.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review Kirsty, I hope that you didn’t get too wet on your walk!We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay.

This was our second stay this year, a six night visit, and as expected the service from Sue and Avril again exceeded our expectations. Because they are always so booked up we were unable to book a Loch view room but the room we had was extremely well kitted out and was slightly larger than the Loch view room we stayed in previously and so we would not hesitate to book any room in the property. Keep up the good work!

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your return visit to us, and really pleased that you liked our Stewart room. We hope that you will stay with us again very soon.

What a gem... we stayed here for one night en-route to our 1 week cottage stay in the Scottish Highlands.Beautiful house, beautiful rooms/views and lovely hosts.A pot of tea (or coffee) with cake and biscuits on arrival, served in their wonderful guest lounge - really made to feel at home.We have already recommended to friends and family.

Im probably going to get myself in trouble here as Sue wants to write this review herself.I just wanted to say thank you,thank you so much for 4 days of unforgettable memories and laughter at what is undoubtedly the best bed and breakfast North of the border.

Hahah! Well you certainly kept us entertained! Thank you so much Mike and Sue…..Obviously ‘we don’t need another hero’ ( when we have paramedic Sue on hand) ….

Response

Thank you so much Chris, we hope that you will come and stay with us again.

We have just returned home after a week at Thistle House.Before we went we read the reviews and felt they must be somewhat exaggerated.Not at all.This is a place where you can use all the superlatives!The house itself, the wonderful welcome and hospitality - the fact that nothing is ever too much trouble, are quite overwhelming.Breakfast is wonderful with a very varied menu and any combination of anything seems to be allowed!We really look forward to our next visit. Jan and Hilary

Response

Thank you so much Jan and Hilary for your lovely review…. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will come back and stay again soon.

Another great few days at this beautiful and welcoming guest house. Sue and Avril are perfect hosts, we can't wait to visit again.

Response

Thank you so much again. It was lovely to see you both again ( and have you spotting more wildlife in the Loch !) We really hope that we will see you again soon at Thistle House.

Excellent location with great views over Loch Fyne. Very friendly welcome and caring hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Thistle House. And can definitely recommend for exploring this part of Scotland.

The first time that we've stayed here under the new ownership and we weren't disappointed. Equally as good as the previous owners. My wife's favourite place to stay.Hope everything goes ok for the new owners and hope to see them in the future.

Sue and Avril were fab. Delicious breakfast, lovely clean room with fabulous loch view. Only downside is the shower pressure, and check out time just a wee bit too early, 1100 seems to be the standard. Would recommend a visit any time of year, as it's a lovely part of the world.

One of the best B&B s I’ve ever stayed in . The owners were so accommodating and nothing was to difficult . The breakfast was absolutely superb in every way . The bedroom was beautifully decorated and very comfortable .We will be back

Great place very clean quiet. Very good restaurant down the road. Keven andKim are so nice. Breakfast very good

This gem of a guesthouse is in a very quiet area with lovely views over the lake.Location: Its 20 mins away from Inverary and 30 from Dunoon - but there are lovely pubs and restaurants within 15min radius for hearty food and drinks. Facilities: The guest house itself was a 5-star experience! Not a huge room but has super comfy bed, window with tea table and two chairs looking over the views outside, small make-up table and a wardrobe to put your things away. The ensuite restroom seems to be recently refurbished and was spanking brand new :) The front room on the ground floor is an absolute beauty and I would come back in winter just to sit by the fireplace.My favourite part of the stay was the breakfast. Even the breakfast room was a delight. The food was amazing and I had my first haggis experience. The jam and marmalade was so good and I was so glad I could actually buy some jars! All in all 20 out of 10. Loved it.

Response

Thank you so much Nancy for your lovely review, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.

Sue and Avril were super friendly and welcoming, they made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. We were offered tea, coffee and cake on arrival which was a lovely touch. The room was very spacious and bright, and the little extra complimentary things/ facilities in the room where above and beyond what you'd expect. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and offered a wide selection.The view from the guest house was breath taking and is located in a perfect place. We would definitely go back and would recommend.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review Samantha. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us at Thistle House. We hope that you will come back and stay with us again if you are visiting Argyll.

Before I stayed here I read several reviews that said the owners Sue and Avril couldn't have done more for their guests. I cannot emphasis enough just how true this is. They are the most accommodating and welcoming hosts I've ever met. The room we stayed in, Campbell room, had the most beautiful view onto the Loch. It was big and bright and the bed is so comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and caters for everyone's needs. I couldn't finish it this morning so what was left was wrapped for me for my onward journey. We spent a day in Inveraray and had dinner at the Creggans Inn. Which was a lovely meal. I cannot praise this beautiful guesthouse and the hosts highly enough. They really do go above and beyond to make your stay a wonderful experience. Thank you Sue and Avril

We felt very safe with good Covid measures in place.The house, rooms and grounds are lovely, with superb views across Loch Fyne.We had a beautiful room which was very comfortable and clean.The breakfast options were amazing too. Would definitely recommend staying at the Thistle Guest House.

Response

Thank you so much Chris and Janice for your lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay.

We loved our stay at Thistle House Guest House. I literally couldn't find any faults with the accommodation or the service. Avril and Sue went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted and needed. We were even able to plug in our electric car and charge overnight which wasvery convenient. Our sea-view ensuite room was lovely, and you can tell that there's been great attention to detail with all the small things. The king bed was very comfy (I'm usually really fussy about the beds!). Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. All in all we had a great 2 night stay and would recommend the guest house without hesitation to anyone visiting the area.

We had a beautiful two days in this lovely property . The owners were fabulously hospitable . Tea and cake when we arrived and a pleasant introduction to everything .

We booked this as a last minute booking whilst in Inverary. This has to be one of the nicest bed and breakfasts we have ever stayed in.Both Sue and Avril could not do enough for us.I was offered a coffee in the beautiful lounge for residents and to my surprise there was a selection of fresh cake and shortbread as well.Our room was which was quite luxurious, and overlooked Loch Fyne and across to Inverary.For breakfast you could order as much or as little as you wanted.We could not recommend The Thistle House more and would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Thistle Guest House really is superb. Avril & Sue are welcoming, helpful & friendly hosts.My family & l enjoyed our 4 night stay very much.

Avril & Sue who run the Guest House have created a warm, friendly and luxurious place to stay. We were a large group of ten and nothing was too much trouble. On arrival we had a pot of tea & coffee with cake. The breakfast is superb and we can’t wait to come back:)

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was lovely having your family staying with us and we hope that you will come back and stay at Thistle House again.

We wanted to stay longer , one night was not enough in this lovely house. Sue and Avril ( our hosts) were very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble .We were welcomed with refreshments , our room was gorgeous and they kindly filled our flasks for the drive the following day and got up early to serve breakfast before we left for Mull.

Response

Thank you Nicola for your lovely review. We hope that you enjoyed your time on Mull and that you will come back and stay at Thistle House again.

We enjoyed a warm welcome to a perfect stay. Tea and cake on the terrace looking across the Loch in the sunshine set the quality of our visit. Our well appointed room had a table and two chairs at the window overlooking the Loch. Breakfast was plentiful, varied and of a very high standard. Cleanliness was excellent.

Response

Thank you so much Jane for your lovely review. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.

Really lovely hosts! We felt so welcomed on our arrival. We had a nice cup of tea with great cakes in the fantastic lounge. Just perfect after a long road. The bedroom was spotless and beautifully decorated with amazing views. The breakfast was delicious (haggis is so good! And I got extra waffles with maple syrup ????). Cherry on the cake: Avril and Sue managed to get us a last minute booking at a lovely restaurant nearby. Which was not an easy task!We had such a great stay! I would highly recommend!

Thistle House Guest House is a beautiful building in a great location. It’s immaculately clean and the hosts were exceptionally helpful and welcoming when we turned up at the last minute after our ferry had been cancelled. We were so fortunate to be able to stay in such a lovely place.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I hope that you were able to get your delayed ferry, and that you enjoy the rest of your holiday. We hope that you will stay at Thistle House again if you are in the area.

“The second best view of Loch Fyne”........according to our hosts, Avril and Sue, when we arrived. If true, then it is the only thing second best in this delightful guest house. The welcome, the bedrooms and communal spaces, the breakfasts, and the hospitality are really quite special. We loved it!And I can’t imagine how the view of the loch could be bettered.

Response

Thank you so much Jenny for your lovely review. Our view from Thistle House is spectacular but if you walk to Castle Lachlan from the Inver restaurant direction I think that our view is surpassed….We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Thank you for staying with us and sharing it for a while. We hope that you will return to Thistle House if you are visiting Argyll again.

Couldn’t fault Thistle House, well looked after. Will be back!

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review Maria.

I recently stayed at the Thistle House Guest House with my wife and teenage daughter.Our stay didn't disapoint, our 2 rooms had uninterrupted views over Loch Fyne with Inverary in the distance. The hospitality offered by Sue and Avril matched the quality / decor of the rooms with a breakfast to match.The gardens are well maintained with views over the Loch, perfect spot to watch a sunset with a glass of wine.I have no hesitation in giving our stay 5 out of 5 and would highly recommend anyone wishing to stay in the Loch Fyne area to consider the Thistle House Guest House.We very much look forward to visiting again.

Response

Thank you so much Mark for your lovely review. We hope that you will all stay with us again soon.

We arrived to be met by Avril with the offer of tea or coffee and homemade cake which was a surprising, lovely touch.Beautiful property, amazing views over the loch or to the wooded area behind.Avril and Sue could not have done more to make us feel welcome and the breakfast was just perfect, everything fresh and tasty.The beds and pillows were really comfortable and the rooms have been decorated with a great deal of care and attention to detail.Thank you both, if we come back to the area, we would love to stay again.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review Cynthia.

Sometimes you find a place so beautiful and well run that you don't want to spoil it by letting other people know about it! This is Thistle House.In an idyllic setting on the banks of Loch Fyne, directly opposite Inverary. The house itself is a masterpiece and so well restored. Fantastic and loving attention to detail everywhere from the magnificent gardens, to the historic guest lounge with the way too comfortable settees, and finally the individually styled bedrooms. We had a double room on the top floor (loch view) with large ensuite shower room.In terms of service, despite Covid restrictions we were extremely well looked after by Avril and Sue, always there to safely help and advise in any way. From the pot of tea and biscuits in the lounge on arrival, to the tourist advice and fully loaded Scottish Breakfasts with extras! I don't want to tell you how good all of this was, but there you have it. 5 stars!... Oh and remember to bring the Smidge! (midge repellant)

Thank you Guy for such an amazing review! … We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Thistle House… Please come again ( and tell your friends about us ! ????)

Lovely warm welcome to a beautiful house.We had a beautiful and very comfortable room overlooking the loch and it was just spectacular.This was the perfect place to relax, explore or have a nice romantic break with the views and the setting just absolutely breathtaking. Sue and Avril were lovely hosts and made you very welcome with a very natural service.We finished our stay with a fantastic breakfast and left extremely happy

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review James. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope that if you are in Argyllyou will come and stay with us again.

We had a great time staying at Thistle House. Located on the bank of Loch Fyne, the House has a fantastic view over the loch and the mountains behind. The hosts were very friendly and were trying to do everything to meet our requests. The breakfast was excellent too! I’d highly recommend this place if you come to this side of Scotland.

The new owners, Avril and Sue, made us feel most welcomed, despite of having to still adhere to COVID restrictions.The rooms are beautifully decorated and immaculately presented, offering breathtaking views over Loch Fyne.A large choice of lovingly prepared breakfast feasts sets you up for the day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Guest House.We were warmly welcomed and treated well throughout.The Thistle hotel is a clean, delightful place to relax at Loch Fyne.A hearty breakfast was just superb to start the day.The property owners Sue and Avril couldn't do enough for us during our short stay.

Response

Thank you so much Raj and Margaret. We hope that you will come back and stay with us again.

Just lovely, Avril and Sue were great very attentive hosts. The attention to detail was second to none including homemade cakes and short bread with coffee when we arrived after a long journey and homemade preserves at breakfast which I have to say was superb the menu was substantial something for everyone.We had a lovely comfy room overlooking the loch which was spotless. Unfortunately we had to leave.Would recommend to anyone superb value for money.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Ferdinando. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope that you will come again soon.

There are only positives from our stay at the Thistle House. On arrival you are made to feel most welcome and no request seems to be too much trouble. The rooms (including a stunning communal area) are spacious, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and most comfortable. The breakfast on offer is amongst the best we have had after any overnight stay. From the garden, there are stunning views over Loch Fyne to Inveraray. A terrific place to stay when visiting the area.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review Martin. We hope that you and your family will come back and stay with us again.

Lovely welcome with tea and cake on arrival sat outside in the sunshine overlooking the loch. First impression was WOW and it lived up to this throughout our whole stay. The ladies who run this are attentative and nothing is too much trouble for them. Breakfast is to die for, the haggis and black pudding alone are worth imbibing. The room we had was lovely, very comfortable and had everything you could need. Would we recommend - YES, will we return - DEFINATELY!!!

Response

Thank you for your lovely review. We are really glad that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Wish we could have stayed here longer. From arriving and warmly shown to our room with a great view of Loch Fyne we were treated to home made shortbread & lemon drizzle cake with tea and coffee in the garden overlooking the loch. We were very lucky with the weather being able to sit outside but we could equally have had it in the very smart and comfortable lounge which we enjoyed later in the evening.The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows were so good I took off the covers to find the make so I can order some when I get home.A full breakfast menu and everything tasted fresh and delicious.You got the feeling nothing would be too much trouble for them but they seem to have thought of everything you could possibly ask for already.We will hopefully be back, but for longer next time.

Had a fantastic stay at the Thistle House. The place is beautiful and the views were spectacular. Sue and 88888 were lovely welcoming hosts and can not praise them enough and made our stay more than welcome. I would like to thank Sue for going out of her way on the evening do drop us off AND pick us up from the local restaurant which was also lovely that they recommended. The room we had was absolutely gorgeous and overlooked the lock, very clean and tidy. We would recommend this place 100% and will stay again. Kind regards Paul and KC.

We loved staying at Thistle House. The house itself is charming - lovely furnishings, paintings and other decorative touches -is verycomfortable and has great views over Loch Fyne to Inveraray. Sue and Avril were so friendly and welcoming, we were served tea and home-made cakes in the lovely lounge both days we were there. Breakfast was delicious and generous. There were many considerate touches in the rooms. I can’t rate it highly enough and would definitely stay again and the rest of our group agree on that.

Thank you Mary for such a lovely review, we hope that you will stay with us again. Hope that you are enjoying your time on Mull.

We were anticipating a lovely stay from previous reviews and were not disappointed. The 9.8 score is fully deserved. A friendly welcome from Sue and Avril into their exquisite house made us feel honoured guests. Lovely bedroom with seaview (though the garden view rooms have a lovely vista for another time). All the decor and furnishing feels brand new, tasteful and top quality. Breakfast was generous and every choice offered. What more to say? Quite the best b&b we've stayed in (and we ourselves rent 2 chic holiday cottages).

What a fabulous guest house! From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed, dinner booked for us at the local restaurant (restaurants were closed from 6pm due to Covid restrictions) and helped with our bags into our excellent rooms. The rooms were very clean, comfy and beautifully decorated and overlooked the Loch. The breakfasts were plentiful, delicious and served early for our early starts. Thank you Alistair and Jennifer

The fact that this was my fifth time staying at Thistle House says it all.Warm and comfortable rooms with modern bathroom and stunning views, superb breakfasts and perfect hosts. Thistle House is a true home from home.Thank you, Jenifer and Alistair, for a wonderful and relaxing stay.

A wonderful guest house. Everything was top notch - the welcome, the room, fantastic breakfast and the views were superb. Score 11 out of 10!!!!

We stayed at the Thistle House for a couple of nights and struggled to fault any aspect of our time there. The quiet, remote setting was the perfect getaway from city life made even better by the tireless efforts of the hosts. I can't thank them enough for the care and attention they put into making our stay as excellent as it was. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely and friendly hosts; warm welcome in beautiful surroundings.

Lovely stopover, We enjoyed our short stop at this Guest House. Hopefully spend more time here next time we are in the area. Great breakfast as well. Many Thanks.

Beautiful location, the guest house was welcoming, warm and cosy.Rooms were very comfortable with everything you could possibly need and a fantastic view of the loch.Breakfast was delicious with an excellent selection of various supplements to go with your main choice.Nothing was too much trouble and your every need met,Alistair and Jenifer were the perfect hosts.Exceptional value for money.

Dear BillThank you for taking the time to write your glowing review which we appreciate very much.In response to us under achieving the100%Judging the weather before guests arrive is a tough one, as it is so changeable on a daily basis, but on addressing this, and individual needs there are blankets in the wardrobe in each room to add for extra warmth or alternatively, to replace the duvet if it is too warm, or if the guests simply don\'t like duvets.I hope you return in the not too distant future when you can check for yourself, but.... not until you have completed some of the paint projectswe discussed and shared.Kind regards Jenifer

Comfortable stayLovely breakfast

While travelling through Western Scotland we stayed one night in Thistle House. Alastair met us on arrival and gave us a brief safety induction before showing us to our room. The room complete with ensuite was very tastefully decorated (as was the whole house) and comfortable. A beautiful breakfast was served in the dining room which was set up to accommodate 4 tables with social distancing measures in place. Without hesitation I would recommend the Thistle House and if we are in the area again needing accommodation I will certainly contact them.

Honestly one of the most welcoming places we have ever stayed in. Jenny the owner takes a genuine interest in where you are from and what you are up to, in addition to of course your well being. Nothing is too much for her to make your stay comfortable.The views are incredible across the Loch from the house and the house itself is immaculate. It is cleaned everyday and especially in these Covid times I felt incredibly safe - all precautions are followed.The ensuite was fantastic, with good shower pressure and hot water. The beds were comfy and it is in a brilliant location for exploring the area. Highly recommended and if I go back to Scotland would definitely stay here again.

They hosts were wonderful and location is superb.Great breakfast and very nice house/room.

We enjoyed a lovely weekend at Thistle House in August 2020. The Thistle House Guest House was spotless and beautifully decorated, the breakfast was excellent and our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The location is stunning. Due to the reduced number of tables( in line with Covid 19 restrictions) in the few hotels on this side of Loch Fyne it was difficult to get a dinner reservation at the weekend so we would recommend early booking.Our son and daughter-in-law joined us for the weekend and they were equally impressed.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Lovely hosts. Excellent choice for breakfast. Super comfy bed. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

We couldn’t fault any aspect of our stay... Both Jennifer & Alistair were amazing hosts, tending to your every need.Room was extremely comfortable, the breakfast was very well made, very tasty, plus plenty of choice, all freshly made each day!!!Location was great with spectacular views of the Loch.Would highly recommend a stay if you’re in the area

A lovely. friendly place to be. Just wish we could have stayed longer.

Thumbs up from us. Everything as it should be.

A fabulous house, a wonderful couple, all top notch, a real benchmark for how to run a high end guest house. Absolutely loved it

This is an excellent guest house, maybe the best I have ever been to in the UK. Very tastefully appointed in a wonderful location, superior breakfast and very helpful and charming hosts. Just go there.

A beautiful early 20th century family house looking over Loch Fyne towards Inveraray. The property is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. The hosts are helpful and friendly and the breakfast is absolutely perfect.

Thistle House is a fabulous guest house with wonderful views of Loch Fyne and welcoming hosts. My room was comfortable, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is the best I think that I’ve ever had in a guest house, with all local produce. Overall it is an absolute credit to the lovely owners.

Simply Excellent!

We had an extremely comfortable and enjoyable stay.Our room overlooked Loch Fyne with stunning views.It was exceptionally clean with good quality facilities and equipment. Breakfast was delicious. Would recommend and stay again.

Having stayed at The Thistle on several occasions I knew how high the standards were and am pleased to say on this visit I was not disappointed. Covid 19 measures were well executed and everything felt safe and clean.The room was very comfortable with stunning views over Loch Fyne and breakfast was delicious and generously portioned.All in all a great place to stay.

Lovely place to stay, great views of the sea. Everywhere was super clean and tidy, big choice for breakfast. We felt so safe there we stayed an extra night.

We had the most wonderful stay at Thistle House. Jenifer was very welcoming and willing to please at all times. The view was simply stunning and I felt very sad when we had to leave.If I did haveone suggestion to make, it would be to have summer duvets,as the 13.5 tog duvets, even in Scotland, were just a bit on the hot side at this time of year.Apart from that though, it was the perfect holiday retreat.Many thanks for a wonderful stay and delicious breakfasts.

Hi Debbie Thank you for lovely positive review which we appreciate very much. I wish you had told us you were too warm as we would have shown youthehoneycomb blankets in the wardrobe for guests who either don\'t like the duvet or are too warm.We hope you had a safe journey home. Kind regards Jenifer

Everything in the guesthouse is first class, the breakfast, décor, gardens, views, and hosting from Jennifer and Alistair could not be more welcoming.we stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed it enormously.

I cannot recommend Thistle House enough. The room was spotlessly clean, the bed was incredibly soft and the view was, as you’d imagine, breathtaking. However, what really sets Thistle House apart is the hosts. Alistair and Jenifer went above and beyond, greeting us warmly and making sure we got dinner reservations for our last minute trip, making us a scrumptious breakfast and after asking what we wanted to do with our time up there - informing us of a beautiful local walking route and gardens. I’m so glad we stayed there! Cannot recommend highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay at Alistair and Jennifer's Guest House. It was a great location for exploring thelocal area. The hosts are so helpful, the place is well presented and the breakfasts are delicious! We will definitely be back!

Stayed two nights,accommodation first class with stunning view,exactly what we wanted,a quiet relaxing wknd with a touch of luxury.

We have had the pleasure of Jenny and Alister’s hospitality on many visits and we have no hesitation in fully recommending Thistle House. We have travelled Scotland widely and have never found a better guest house. Norma and Harry Taylor

Had a wonderful overnight stay here and will be back! jenifer and alistair gave a warm welcome and were great throughout.Beautiful and well kept room with gorgeous view of Loch Fyne.Would highly recommend!

we had a fabulous time...the house is spotlessly clean ..facilities and breakfast are first class...the hosts are friendly and very knowledgeable on places of interest and transport links..would definitely recommend

High quality in every aspect

We were travelling up the west coastheading for Skye. Today we visited Loch Lomond andwanted to see Loch Fyne and Inveraray.Thistle House is absolutely stunning. Alister and Jennifer from the moment we arrived made us feel welcome and special. The room was immaculate andvery very well presented. . Breakfast was amazingand set us up well for the day ahead. We will 100 percent be returning and would recommend without any hesitation.

Don't know what else to say except 'Can't fault anything'.Lovely and clean and friendly hosts. No complaints.(We did have a snorer next door but nothing anyone can do about that !!!).

une maison d'une propreté irréprochable dans une superbe endroit avec Jenifer et Alister extrêmement gentils, serviables et accueillants une adresse à recommander vivement

Very comfortable clean very pleasant and a good breakfast a place you could recommend

Jenifer and Alistair are hospitable hosts to a superb guest house. Those 2 nights we stayed, we found them to be welcoming, attentive and helpful. Our room, as well as the other facilities and services left nothing to be desired.Next time we'll be in the area, we definitely will stay there again.

Really nice place with sea view. Excellent breakfast and overall nice room

Thistle House provides a welcome in every way. The room comfortable with perfect beautiful bed linen.The shower particularly specious with a selection of wash kit and many sizes of towels.The room was shown as I arrived and all details explained.Breakfast in the attractive dining room was excellent. All home cooking done to perfection with the right variety of selections-- cereals, fresh fruit, bread.The service from Jennifer was a delightful mixture of friendliness and efficiency making one feel welcome with ease.I strongly recommend this venue as the best choice and would select it again without hesitation.Thank and you for such a good experience.KimKim Davidson Kelly.selection of

Just had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Thistle House. Alistair and Jennifer are extremely welcoming, friendly owners, with all the local knowledge that one could need. The room we stayed in was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, including a very new, up to date bathroom and shower. Best of all our room was at the front of the house and so it looked out on to a stunning view of Loch Fyne. We were also provided with lots of local information both from printed booklets that the owners had prepared and from the owners themselves who bent over backwards to help us with anything that arose. Breakfast was also excellent - a fantastic choice of cereals, fresh croissants, and cooked breakfast - all using fresh local produce and served in a lovely clean modern breakfast room. The Thistle is also excellently situated with incredible nature and sightseeing spots nearby and also excellent restaurants. If you have a car then it's just a 15-30 minute drive over to the busier Inverairy on the other side of the Loch. All in all we had a wonderful time at the Thistle House and would highly recommend it as a guest house that offers all the 'homely' character of a guest house but without any of the 'fustiness' that you sometimes find - it's all very fresh, clean and modern - somewhere that's really nice to be in.

It was wise to come back. Rooms are refurbished, bathrooms modernized. The breakfast is superb as always. And it is good to talk to the hosts!

Great hosts A and J made us feel so welcome in a beautiful house for three nights on the very interesting Loch Fyne.

We only stayed one night but it certainly left it’s mark. A stunning guest house with warm and friendly hosts. A magical view from the grounds and our room accross the loch. Breakfast was cooked to order with homemade jams and yoghurts. The room was large, clean and comfy and bathroom excellent.

We stayed for one night going up to Skye and three nights on our way home and can recommend Thistle House in every wayFirst there is the warm welcome and hospitality of Alistair and Jenifer - they are great hosts - and they serve a great breakfast with a wide choiceThe house and rooms are beautifully appointed and clean, and there is a superb lounge to use in the eveningsThen there is the setting - in a quiet place overlooking Loch Fyne, with a view across the Loch of Inverary Castle and town. The view was great and always changing with the weatherThe House is with reach of Loch Lomond and all its amenities, as well as several local pubs and restaurants.if you want a quiet place to stay we can truly recommend one of the nest bed and breakfast houses that we have ever stayed in

I loved everything at the thisle house: the room was comfortable, the view was amazing, the hosts were lovely and the breakfast was great! I also liked that the hosts make efforts to be ecoresponsible. I highly recommend the thistle house

Thank you again Jennifer and Alistair, our stay was excellent as usual can't wait to visit again.

Without a shadow of a doubt, this was the best B&B I have stayed in and all 6 of us agreed. From hygiene to bed comfort, breakfast generosity and quality and even ease of accommodating to our plan changes, Jennifer and Alistair were outstanding. Add to that the spectacular views of Loch Fyne and what you have is a place that we will definitely revisit. Thank you.

Ein super netter und herzlicher Empfang von Jenifer und Alistair. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber. Der Blick über den Loch Fyne nach Inverness war in den wenigen regenfreien Momenten sehr schön. Das Frühstück frisch von den Beiden zubreitet war perfekt. Diese Unterkunft ist empfehlenswert.

Great place, best breakfast, lovely people running it ...can’t ask fore more

The room was big and very clean. Hosts were very kind and helpful, they explqined how to arrive to diferent places and where to have dinner when we arrived. Location is great for visiting Loch Lemond and views from the House are very nice. I recomend this accommofstion 100%.

Wonderful place and marvelous guests.Highly recommended !

Everything was fantastic. Rooms, breakfast, the hosts. The location of the house. But we only spent one might there. We feliz in love sito the site and would like to return. Thank YouTube so much Jennifer.

Such a lovely guest house! Stayed here as a family, in 3 different rooms which were all great, especially the room with the lake view. The place is peaceful, warm and gives you a homey feeling (loved the lounge!). The views are stunning, breakfast was generous and delicious and Jeniffer, the owner, is very kind and friendly. We had a great time and hope to come again in the future! Thank you!

A beautiful place which take you back in time with wonderful hosts.Relaxing, comfortable room with planty of space. We asked for a silent room where the calm environment could fully match.There is a excellent restaurant close by, recommended by our hosts.We highly recommend this place!!!

Amazing house and wonderful stay. The owners were lovely and breakfast was really good. We will come back, for sure.

Absolutely beautiful guest house - in a stunning location. With generous and kind and thoughtful hosts, nothing hadn't been thought of, this really was a dream come true! We will definitely be back in the future. Perfect antidote to city living. Thank you!

Everything at Thistle House was beautiful, starting with the view on the Loch, comfy bed, locally sourced breakfast (the Black pudding is really really great!) and the hosts so kind and helpful. We stayed shortly, but we hope to come back soon.

Thistle House was perfect. A beautiful home, in a stunning location. Delicious breakfast and an opportunity to try haggis- it was lovely! But most of all, wonderful hosts. We felt like family! We will definitely go back one day!

It was an amazing moment to stay in this beautiful house with so warmful owners.Thanks very much

C'était parfait, vous êtes des hôtes charmant Thistle House est magnifique et très bien entretenue et la vue est époustouflante !Les alentours du Loch Fyne sont superbes.C'était notre troisième visite et nous reviendrons.

We received a warm welcome and were delighted with the beautifully decorated and very comfortable room.Next morning's breakfast in the charming dining room was delicious and generous in choice and portion. Most friendly and helpful hosts, we will most certainly return.

Perfect in every way!

We recently stayed a couple of nights and what a lovely stay,Jennifer & Alistair are such wonderful hosts and make you feel right at home in their wonderful guest house which is immaculate, our room was beautiful and had a lovely loch view, our breakfast, home cooked by Alistair were simply delicious and we were looked after wonderfully by Jennifer to which nothing was too much trouble, in the evening we enjoyed the lovely garden and gazed upon the beautiful loch with inverary castle on the opposite shore, summer heaven, wishing you all the best and thank you for a wonderful stay John & Laura

BEEN TO THISTLE HOUSE MANY TIMES. JUST RETURNED HOME FROM ANOTHER EXCELLENT HOLIDAY IN SCOTLAND. SILMPLY PUT, THISTLE HOUSE IS THE BEST GUEST HOUSE IN ARGYLL.

From the gorgeous setting and views to the friendly welcome it was just a perfect stay. The place is immaculate and Jennifer couldn't have been any friendlier or more helpful. It was dead quiet which guaranteed a perfect night sleep in a very comfy bed. We will be back!

We hope that the review title tells you everything that you wish to know about Thistle House but just in case - It's a lovely house in a beautiful setting with terrific views. Jenifer and Alistair are extremely welcoming and helpful. The bedrooms are pretty and comfortable,and the breakfasts are terrific. What more could holiday guests wish for?

Nice quiet location to stay with friendly hosts, large rooms, great views, and a good breakfast

First Class. Would definitely return. Hosts were lovely. Great atmosphere

A warm welcome, a well equipped comfortable room, superb setting and good breakfast choice.

An outstanding experience. Wonderful host, beautiful breakfast and stunning views.

One the best hotels I ever stayed in.The host is very friendly and helpful in every possible way.Nice rooms and view for the lake...Possibly the best breakfest in scotland is a bonus (:

This B&B continues to give the highest level of comfort and service. The breakfast is wonderful, all local produce, and serving details mindful of sustainability. You cannot get better.

We stayed for 2 nights. We were greeted by Alistair and Jenifer (hosts) who provide such a welcoming atmosphere. The amazing friendliness continued throughout our stay. The room that we had over looked the Loch and was far beyond 5 star, our room had a luxurious bathroom and the bed was so very comfortable. The breakfast options were all delicious with the food provided is sourced locally. I would recommend this guest house highly. Another service available nearby is the local Taxi driven by a lovely gentleman (John Wright). We required Johns services and not only did he provide a safe ride, his knowledge of the area and history was just amazing to listen to

Fantastic location and beautiful room. Alistair and Jenifer were very welcoming and helpful throughout our entire stay.Great breakfast and highly recommended.

Excellent hosts and very friendly and attentive.Very comfortable accommodation with great attention to detail. The breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended B & B

We loved every aspect of our stay at Thistle House!Many thanks to Jenifer and Alistair

Fabulous stay as always. Alistair and Jenifer are wonderful hosts, very warm and accommodating, who take a genuine interest in their guests.

Stayed a couple of days at the start of our three week holiday in Scotland. Wonderful view over the water and a lovely B&B. Super breakfast and super room. Well looked after by the owners and would happily stay again if we were in the area.

I have no hesitation in commending Thistle House as a really good place to stay. Well organised, very comfortable in spectacular surroundings.

Friendly and informative welcome from Jenifer and Alistair. The room was lovely with everything we could need and had a fabulous view. Excellent breakfast and very helpful tips for our ongoing trip. Thank you

Lovely acomodattion, lovely room, lovely View, lovely breakfast and lovely host.Wishing to come blackThanks for everything 💖

We’ve returned to Thistle House three times after our first visit. Jenifer and Alastair are warm and expert hosts, eager to meet every need. The breakfasts are delicious and the views over Loch Fyne are breathtaking. After 20 visits to Scotland we’ve found no better place to stay.

We were 2 couples driving through the Highlands. Our stay at Thistle House was one of the highlights of the trip. The rooms were stunning and were made to feel at home by our lovely hosts Alistair and Jennifer. Thank you for your warm hospitality! Hope to see you again! :-)

Lovely guest house and warm welcome.

Lovely home made yoghurt, in our packed lunches too!

Beautiful house in a fantastic location overlooking loch fyne with Inverary castle taking centre stage across the loch.Rooms are nicely decorated, clean and quiet.Guests have access to a large lounge area, making the stay much more comfortable and relaxing.Could not have asked for anything more.

Thoroughly enjoyed our short visit. We recieved a lovely a warm welcome that was evident our whole visit. Lovely comfortable accomodation and public rooms, the views are stunning, the hotel immaculate. With an epicurean choice of breakfast we were forced to avoid a cooked option and were still thoroughly spoilt for choice i would thoroughly recommend the Thistle hotel.

Charming house, excellent breakfast, kind welcome

Beautiful location , stunning bedroom with a comfortable bed topped with a cosy feather duvet.Guests living room was very cosy topped off with an open fire xBreakfast was superb , the best veggie breakfast I’ve had whilst away !Alister and Jennifergave us a a first rate stay at thistle house , sadly we only booked in for one night but we will definitely be going back !

Only one night, wish it had been more.Friendliness, cleanliness, decor, facilities, loveliest breakfast. Did I mention cleanliness?Thank you.

Third visit to the Thistle House in a beautiful setting. Lovely comfortable accommodation. Good choice and presentation of freshly cooked breakfast. Thanks to Jennifer and Alistair for making us so welcome.

This is a beautiful guest house right on the shore of the Loch, just opposite of Inveraray Castle.The accommodation are very nice and comfortable and some of them overlook the Loch.Alistair and Jenifer make you fell at home right away and the cooked breakfast is very good

Very comfortable accommodation, superb breakfast and friendly hosts. A must for this part of Scotland

Overnight stay here and as usual very homely. All the rooms are decorated to a high standard. Would recommend this hotel to anyone in the area.

Simply the best Guest House in Argyll.

We enjoyed a lovely evening at the Thistle House in the Campbell Room.The home is situated on beautiful Loch Fyne and is run by the delightful Jenifer and Alistair. The home is kept in immaculate condition and our room was spacious with a wonderful en suite bath and a beautiful view over the lake. In the morning, Alistair prepared a delicious breakfast while Jenifer attended the dining room efficiently. This is a lovely stop for traveling in this area of Scotland and we highly recommend it!!

Title refers to the amazing pass one drives through to arrive at this lovely home in St. Catherines. We’ve been staying here since 1993 and love the location. Beautifully decorated by charming owners Jenifer and Alistair, with wonderful loch view of Inverary and a short drive from the town and other attractions, it’s comfortable and enjoyable.Great breakfasts too!

Jennifer and Alistair are fabulous hosts, so welcoming and kind. The accommodation is superb with a fantastic outlook over to Inverary castle.. Perfect location for exploring Argyll and Bute. Home from home!

Best guesthouse ive had the pleasure to stay in.

Easily one of the best places we've ever stayed. The house is spotless and the hosts are sincerely interested in meeting your needs. Breakfast is outstanding too.

Thistle House is a lovely place to stay for a few days.Jenifer and Alistair always give a warm friendly greeting to their very inviting guest house.The rooms are large, but comfortable, well decorated and spotlessly clean. The breakfast has plentiful choices of juices,cereals,fruit and cooked items;also tea and coffee.Will obviously stay again.

Bit of a ride, see somewhere to stay picked Thistle.What a fabulous choice,owners fantastic location fantastic,all I n all fantastic.

AMAZING COSY HOUSE WITH THE MOST AMAZING LOCATION, EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE AND LOVELY VIEWS...A MUST STAY HEAVEN ON EARTH...

Bel endroit devant un loch superbe, avec au loin le Château d'Inveraray ! Maison chaleureuse, confortable ! On y est bien grâce aux hôtes disponibles ! Petit-déjeuner excellent !

Enjoyed our stay,friendly,good comfortable rooms,great views and top breakfast.

A very lovely familiar guest hozse! Pretty and nice!The sray was fantastic, the view over the Loch great.Thank you Jenifer and Alister!

It doesn’t get any better than Thistle House. A truly wonderful, high quality guest house. The property is immaculate and in a fabulous setting. Alistair and Jenifer are perfect hosts, helping you feel welcome but giving you space to relax and enjoy. Breakfast is a delight. Bedrooms are warm, spacious and cater for your every need. Highly recommend. We shall definitely be returning!

Beautiful house in a stunning location. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Delicious breakfast. Fabulously comfortable rooms.

We stayed at Thistle Guest house for 2nights,it would take to long here to adequately praise our delightful hosts Jennifer and her delightful husband Alistair enough. When you are asked "can I help" it is heartfelt, they can't do enough for you. The house is beautiful,everything anyone could want, from cleanliness quiet elegance, to the stunning perfection of it's situation, with views that can hardly be imagined. A comfortable bed and perfectly cooked breakfast friendly hosts. What more could anyone want. Thank you Jennifer, everything was amazing.

Everything was magnificent. The property was possibly the best of our 23 day trip (so we’ve had a lot to compare it to). The rooms are superbly appointed (I especially loved the guest living room on the main floor); the views were awesome, the food terrific, and I really appreciated the conversations with the proprietors/owners—Alistair and Jenifer.We wholeheartedly recommend this place!Primo!

schöne Zimmer, nett gelegen direkt am Loch Fyne (Blick vom Zimmer auf das Loch), gegenüber Inveraray und Castle, sehr nette Gastgeber, helfen in allen Belangen. Super Frühstück, verschiedene Optionen von Omelett bis Full Scottish Breakfast, dazu Brown Bread u.v.m.

Un super accueil, un beau cadre, une chambre impeccable avec vue sur le loch. Petit déjeuner de très bonne tenue avec des produits locaux. Nous recommandons chaleureusement.

The most complete and finest B&B we've ever been to. Superb location. Stunning views. There's no need to add more
