Thistle House Guest House

We stayed 3 nights here and it was absolutely delightful. Sue and Avril are amazing hosts. The breakfast delicious with locally sourced food. The rooms were very comfortable. Local eateries are also excellent. If you like seafood try the chowder at The creggans Inn. In inverary Samphire restaurant Langoustines or mussels are out of this world. For the outdoorsie type try hiking up to the watchtower from Inveraray castle.

Land lady very helpful in moving cases to a wonderful room overlooking the loch. Room very clean and tidy, breakfast excellent quality. Beautiful lounge available also over looking the loch, one of the best places we stayed at on our 17 day tour.

The most beautiful property in the most beautiful of locations..Sue and Avril were the perfect hosts..thankyou for having us!!

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 immaculate throughout 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 !!!

Sue and Avril really made our stay pleasant. From the moment I had contact with Sue (requesting another night stay) to dinner reservations and afternoon tea when we arrived, she was constantly engaged with us and making our stay at her beautiful Thistle House warm and welcoming. Breakfast in the morning was fabulous and held us on our daily hikes. Avril was always willing to stay and have a lovely conversation about the wonderful breakfast, adorable chickens out back or just the beauty of Scotland. Wow! Such a fabulous place to unwind. We definitely would stay again. Thank you!

Hospitable innkeeper. Gorgeous surroundings. Very quiet countryside a little treacherous Drive in but well worth it.
