AirBnB Review - August 2022
My stay at the house was an absolute pleasure. The scenery from the house was parallel to none. I feel it's very good value for money and I thoroughly enjoyed the stay throughout; hopefully, I'll come again soon. I would highly recommend this stay with a family.

 

A great find - Ardmun House
5/5 Upfront Reviews - August 2022
For the last 6 years we have spent some of our summer vacation in the Cowall Penninsula and I always spend some time looking for the best place to stay. Ardmun House was a great find - the location is an ideal base for visiting so many different places and the house has everything that you need - a real home from home. The property is fully fenced and was therefore safe to let the grandson and dogs enjoy the outside space as we enjoyed the view of the water and beautiful scenery. Superb property.

 

Clean Comfortable and Quiet.
4.8/5 Upfront Reviews June 2020

Ardmun house was so homely and in fantastic surroundings, the family loved it. The Benmore Botanical gardens was so stunning, and only ten mins away.

 

What a gem of a house in a beautiful location.

Upfront Reviews Sep 2020

Wow what can I say we were all blown away with the location upon arrival.
The house is just so beautiful we spent a very comfortable stay here, what a gem of a find! have to say although there is two lounges we spent all our time in the conservatory as what a view!! also waking up to the view in the morning from the bedrooms, very comfortable beds in each room.
The house itself has everything you need for a perfect stay, Loved the fact there was an iron and board as saved me from doing the big iron before holidays! we loved sitting out in an evening around the chiminea fire under the stars.
Boys were very pleased they brought their fishing rods as 2 minutes up along from the house they all fished off the pier in Strone and plenty a catch, we also recommend that you take your bikes with you or hire whilst you are there as we biked for miles and still left a lot of undiscovered roads.
Sad to leave however we are very happy now we have just rebooked for next year.

 

Lovely week at Ardmun

UpFront Review Sept 2020

Very comfortable stay with lovely views across the loch. The house was spotlessly clean and we felt very safe from the risk of covid 19. We spent the majority of our time in the conservatory, no need to use the other sitting rooms, so we could benefit from the views. The kitchen is well equipped (although we missed a coffee filter) and the tap on the kitchen sink is a bit wobbly! The 4 poster bed proved to be very comfortable and the children fed back their beds were comfortable too although the single rooms were a bit snug. The garden was a great sun trap and we sat out whenever the weather permitted.
The house is in a great location with plenty of lovely walks within easy reach and of course Dunoon with the prom and Castle Hill.

 

 

Felt like home away from home

UpFront Review Aug/Sept 2020

The cottage location is perfect. Very relaxing, comfy, spacious and clean cottage. All the basic amenities were provided.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would surely recommend it. Can't wait to book it again.
