Cosy cottage with direct view of Loch Fyne

Auchgoyle Bay Cottage is the perfect base to explore Argyll – the Coast of the Gaels. The cottage is in the small village of Minard, just south of Inveraray and has direct views across the ever-changing panorama of Loch Fyne. There are walks to suit all abilities from the cottage, along the shore, round the village and up into the hills to the deserted Feorlin village or a short walk away at the National Trust gardens at Crarae. The loch shore is 100 metres away, where you can launch small boats and kayaks. Inveraray and Lochgilphead offer a range of facilities including restaurants, shops and other tourist attractions. Both are a short drive away. You can explore further afield if you wish with Oban and Kintyre within easy reach, but just as easily spend a week within a few miles of the cottage and do something different every day.

Perfect getaway

The cottage is lovely. Just perfect to wind down and relax. We were in the area for a family wedding & were only there for the weekend but it was lovely to sit in the sun room for beakfast and just chill. I would love to go back for a longer stay.

The cottage has everything you need and a full folder provided with things to do in the area. Very comfortable. The highlights were the boat trip from Crinan and the distillery tour at Springbank. Beautiful area and not so many tourists.

Nice, thoughtfully appointed cottage in a small village on the lochside.

A great holiday cottage in a beutiful location. You will likely want to have a car but there are bus services to the village. There are pretty port towns along the loch at Inverary, Lochgilphead and Tarbert. Ferries to Islay and Jura run from the port at Kennacraig.

Comfortable, homely stay in an idyllic area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute and clean house in an area of outstanding beauty. The accommodation is well-equipped with everything one might need when on a self-catering holiday, including extras in the kitchen. The view from the front of the house is amazing. The information on the surrounding areas provided within the house was simply outstanding - ranging from books to maps to personal recommendations from the friendly owners - and very well organised.

First of all we can recommend the cottage without any reservation. Everything is very neat and clean - prepared by the very kind hosts. They will assist you with everything and are always ready to make your stay as comfortable und nice as possible. The area is just beautiful, offering a scent of seaside, hills and the greenest nature you will find on the planet. We're happy to have been there!

Argyle coast escape

Our family of 4 loved every minute at Brian and Bec’s cozy and homey little cottage. It’s perfectly located to explore and they’ve thought of everything you could ever need to be comfortable. The linens are lovely, the sun porch was heavenly, and the space was perfectly organized with Bosch appliances and comfy beds. The cottage is small but still perfect for a family of four. We loved exploring Kilmartin, Dunadd, Invarary, and loch Fyne. Brian had great advice for exploring and the cottage made for a quiet rest bit after our day of travel.

Apartment on the Loch

Pleasant apartment with window views of Loch Fyne. Very comfortable 2 bedrooms upstairs. 15 minutes from Inveraray with nice shops, activities and some good restaurants. Easy access to the rest of the peninsula. Hosts made it very easy. Even though they were out of town we were able to get in and out without difficulty. Would definitely recommend this spot.

The cottage was equiped with everything we needed. We did find the stairs very steep and narrow. It was great to be able to cook a meal and get up to date with washing and drying. Becs was helpful when we arrived and Brian.communicated well beforehand. We appreciated the dairy free milk and delicious GF biscuits
