Waterside Villa, shore front location with 22m balcony, 5 bathrooms, sleeps 8

This property is advertised with private parking but there isn't any. You need to park out of sight on the street and access the property down an alleyway and across a neighbours yard, which is littered with debris. I advised Argyll Self Catering of the error in the listing but 6 weeks later this has still not been rectified.

We had a wonderful week in this lovely property in a beautiful area.

We had a great stay in a comfortable house!

The house was perfect for us. Spacious and comfortable and fabulous views and location. The whole area is beautiful. There are good local shops and cafes/restaurants within walking distance. Lovely local walks. Pebbly beach nearby. The Portavadie Spa was also great hit - indoor and outdoor pools, gym, hot tubs and lovely restaurant. The hob was malfunctioning on first night - but the owner organised an emergency replacement until an electrician could repair it. Great response on a Saturday night.

What an amazing property in such a unique & beautiful location. The cottage is simply stunning especially when the sun is out - You've got to try it!

The location is absolutely fab, love the area, the views and so easy to get on the water. This is a spacious property, comfortably fitted 4 adults and 4 kids. Only downside for me was the double mattresses were VERY soft (one was just about ok, the other was the worst I have tried to sleep on).

I have been in this property so many times in the past few years and I do find the cottage absolutely comfortable, tidy and clean. The owner is very kind and immediately ready to support in anyway. I’m looking forward to be there soon again.

I have been at this cottage many many times and as always Argyll self catering and the owner are on top of everything. I can’t be tired of being here, great location, beautiful house.

Travel and arrival instructions were clear and easy to follow. The house is spacious with a variety of lounges to either be together as a group or chill alone, with a book or music. The views from front rooms or deck are fabulous whether bright and clear, or with the wind splashing the waves against the windows. The pool table was a favourite spot! The bedrooms and ensuite facilities were great, with plenty of hot water and comfy beds. Plenty of room and crockery in the kitchen, although we did struggle with the high-tech oven!

Waterside is a stunning property in one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland. The property was well appointed and there was ample room for our family group of 8. We were blessed with great weather so enjoyed the views from the balcony. We made use of the information about the local attractions and went on the ferry to Tarbert as foot passengers (great advice), ate at Botanica at the Barn and Kames Hotel (both amazing) and spent a glorious day on Ostell Bay beach.
