This is the best dog friendly holiday home we have ever rented. It’s well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Area is beautiful and neighbours were very friendly. Hotel serving good food only a short walk away. Was sorry to leave and would definitely like to go back.

Lovely stay by the sea

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. Everything had been well thought out and the lovely welcome pack was much appreciated. The location is perfect for sightseeing on the secret coast and also travelling across to Bute for the day on the ferry. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property and would love to return some day.

Returning to the Kyles

Derryguaig is an excellent property, beautifully equipped and in an excellent location. It was beautifully clean and had a Welcome Hamper which was an equally excellent touch. Back garden is enclosed and dog friendly. Have rented with Argyll Self Catering previously and would certainly do so again. We'll be back!

Derryguaig by the sea

Lovely ground floor accommodation in a great location close to lots of local amenities. Lucky enough to have had good weather for most of the week and spent relaxing afternoons in the garden watching activity of the boats and taking in the view while enjoying coffee or a glass of wine before dinner. Very well equiped kitchen with a most welcome basket of goodies. Second time staying at Derryguaig and will definitely be back!

We had an amazing stay at Derryguaig the property have everything you could need and more. The weather was kind to us and we had some nice sunshine which made the views over the Kyles of Bute even better! There was also a lovely welcome basket which was much appreciated especially by our Golden Retriever Riley when she realised there was also treats for her lol Would highly recommend

Stunning location.

An absolutely lovely place to stay. Right on the shore of the Kyles of Bute. I stayed with a friend and our dogs. The welcome food hamper was a really nice touch with essentials for the first night and morning. The living room is massive and looks over the Kyle’s with Bute over the water. Everything works well and just lots of nice touches you don’t normally get in a self catering let. I highly recommend and hope to return…

Easter Family Break

Lovely few days at Derryguaig, great property for 2 adults, teenager and a dog. House had everything we needed, very well equipped. Really comfy and lovely views out over the Kyles of Bute. Nice Friday night dinner at the Tighnabruaich hotel and fab lunch at The Oystercatcher in Otter Ferry, well worth the trip and lovely swim in the loch after. Visit to Ostel Bay and nice lunch at Botanica in the Barn after and a day trip to Bute. Would highly recommend the house and the area.

Comfortable house, great views.

The flat is equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. We were also greeted with a food basket and fresh flowers. The view of the water and the island of Bute was great. The small village and its inhabitants are lovely and the walks are beautiful. The only drawback: The mattresses were not that comfortable for our standards. All in all, a very nice time.

Good memories

Once again a great stay. Thankyou so much for enabling this. It is such an elderly friendly property and I know my parents both loved it. Despite biblical levels of rain on one day, we got out and about. Even in winter there is lots of places to go and NO midges! We also enjoyed watching the RNLI jetty wobbling madly in the waves. Hoping to return in the early summer (someone has to feed those midges) though, sadly, this will be without mum and dad.
