Around 80 miles from Glasgow by road, one of the most scenic drives in Scotland, a drive along the narrow roads chisled out the hill side offers some of the best great views of the Bute, Arran and the Ayrshire coasts and the hills.
DIRECTIONS
Getting here by road from Glasgow this fabulous drive takes you up the side of Loch Lomond, through the Arrochar Alps and over the world-famous Rest and Be Thankful. The final stretch winds along the coast with the Kyles of Bute stretching out ahead. There are some wonderful viewpoints dotted along this road. Take the A82 along Loch Lomond to Tarbet, then the A83 towards Inveraray and Campbeltown. At Cairndow, turn left on to the A815, then at Strachur turn right on to the A886, signposted Glendaruel and Colintraive. Just after Glendaruel turn right onto the A8003 towards Tighnabruaich.
Getting here by road and ferry is another option is to get the ferry from Gourock to Dunoon and enjoy a drive through remote, mountainous country. You then pick up the same coastal road as above. Take the A8 to Gourock, then Western Ferries from McInroy’s Point to Hunter’s Quay near Dunoon. Turn right on to A815, then shortly after leaving the 40mph area, turn left on B836, a winding single track road with passing places. After about 17 miles, turn right on A886, then left on A8003 towards Tighnabruaich.
Beautiful House and location
4.7/5 Upfront Reviews - May 2022This house sits magnificently on the beach, so close to the water. Every bedroom window and all the living areas look out onto the water, for a relaxing ambience. The house is comfortable, well equipped and the lay out means you can always find a quiet space, The house and location offers something for everyone. We managed to go Paddle boarding, forest and coast walking, appreciate a shinty match, and a park and fairy trail for the wee ones to enjoy. We also watched dolphins and an otter. It’s a house to appreciate spending time with family and at the same time appreciating what nature offers you.
Spring break in Tighnabruaich
5/5 Upfront Review - May 2022Spent a delightful few days with adult children and their partners in this perfect spot.
It certainly lived up to our expectations - a really superior 'cottage' with a location on the water front that is impossible to beat.
Two of our younger members actually went in swimming.
Thanks for a great time.
Stunning house and views
Upfront Review February 2022
The house was incredible, I've never stayed anywhere like it. The kitchen had all the appliances you could need and plenty of dishware.
The beds and bedding were super comfortable and the showers and bath were great.
Outdoor area was fantastic even in February, and we managed to get a dip in the water.
Annual retreat
Upfront Review Sept 2021
I can’t recommend this highly enough, the accommodation was spot on, comfortable and well equipped, amazing views and lots of car park space - so great if you are all travelling from different locations. Couple of lamps needed new lightbulbs but that was a minor issue. Loved the private beach - we went wild swimming everyday (would recommend swim shoes though!)

Upfront Review June 2021
Good value for money. Excellent location. Would be good to have better selection of smaller bowls for serving etc in the kitchen but overall very good.
Even better than before !
Upfront Review June 2021
Our second stay here and the owners have carried out some excellent refurbishments since last year.
The location, facilities, equipment etc are all first class.
The booking agents were very helpful to deal with during the Covid confusion over numbers allowed in the house !
Lovely house
Upfront Review May 2021
Lovely house right on the beach had a great time on the water, great outdoor space, comfy and clean with modern interior. Only downside was BBQ wasn’t available during our visit we would’ve loved sitting outside cooking in the Gazebo area. Apart from that would definitely recommend to friends and family
Thanks again
Stunning location and excellent comfortable accommodation with views to die for.
Upfront Review May 2021
The location of Taigh na Mara is superb, with beautiful natural scenery all around and it is so lovely and peaceful.
The accommodation is wonderful , we felt relaxed as soon as we entered the house and ready to enjoy our stay.
There are lovely walks in the area and many scenic places to visit..We love Otter Ferry, Portavadie, Tarbert, the Ardlamont estate & Tighnabruich itself. But there are many more beautiful spots to discover.

Would definitely return for another long weekend
Brilliant birthday weekend!4/5 Homaway Away Review Stayed Nov 2019
Booked the house for its location and size for our group of 4 couples who were celebrating significant birthdays.Location is amazing and the views are spectacular, particularly from the conservatory and deck. The property layout is arranged to take advantage of the outlook.All rooms are simply furnished and each has a sea view.The kitchen/ large conservatory area was the most used by our group, followed by the large dining room where we enjoyed having the fire on in the evenings.We had a wonderful weekend and would recommend the house for groups of family, or friends!
Great holiday house - amazing location5 Star Upfront Review Aug 2018House was clean and very well appointed with plenty of space for the family. Location was amazing - very secluded and peaceful whilst still being close to all the necessary amenities. We had a great family holiday at Taigh Na Mara.
