Great base for exploring Argyll

Cosy, comfy little cottage on edge of Inverary, with great views across Loch Fyne. It was clean, well-equipped and had nice welcoming touches of shortbread, wine and some coffee pods too. Would have to recommend ear plugs if sleeping in the front bedroom as the main road passes infront of the cottage, but the lovely views in the morning more than make up for it! Our only criticism would be that the parking area at the back is not very well described on the arrival instructions (and it differs from the information in the folder in the house), so we may have unwittingly parked in a neighbour's spot to start with. Perhaps an up-to-date drawing of the parking area would help guests in the future, or some signage on site. Parking in the area by the bus stop opposite the house was the easier option, we decided in the end. However, we did enjoy our week there very much, and Inveraray itself is a great wee town with a good range of shops, bars and cafes just a short (and very scenic) stroll away.

Convenient short stay

A convenient location for Inveraray with lovely views across Loch Fyne. Heavy traffic on the main road can be a nuisance but this didn't stop us enjoying this historic property complete with its original bread oven

Newton Cottage 2024 September

We have stayed at this cottage on several occasions. We find it ideal as we come to visit family in the surrounding area . Found the TV to be somewhat out dated ! and difficult to read text on screen when program checking.

Fyne Romance

The perfect cottage for us in an outstanding position, lovely and comfortable with beautiful views. It felt very much like a home from home with fab towels and comfy beds, tastefully decorated with attention to detail and excellent amenities. The only thing I’d say and I knew before we went there from reading the reviews, the road noise is pretty loud and I’d advise earplugs.

First holiday in Scotland

Don't be fooled by the exterior, this is a lovely, well equipped cottage for two to share. Waking up to the view of the morning sunrise across the Loch was a real joy. The only drawbacks are the close location to the main road means there is a lot of traffic noise, and close proximity parking is difficult, although there is ample space at the rear of the back garden. Other than that, the cottage itself is great, and the owners were most helpful when called upon.

Perfect Getaway

Absolutely charming cottage with an amazing view of the loch. Everything you want to visit is a short walk away. For US visitors, it’s like something out of a storybook or BBC drama. Rooms are small but cozy, kitchen and laundry were very useful. The back garden is beautiful, great for morning tea. Very much worth the money.

October in Inveraray

Lovely small cottage in a good location. Really handy for the local amenities. All restaurants, shops within walking distance of the cottage. Property, was clean & tidy. The only issue is with the windows & front door of the property. Neither are sealed properly or sound proof. So, you can hear all traffic going up & down the road. Particularly if sleeping in the front bedroom at night. The property needs double glazing.

Newton Cottage South

Lovely cottage and great location, nice bottle of wine on arrival. Twice a year we travel to the west islands on fishing trips and we would certainly stay in Newton cottage south again.

excellent accommodation and location

A well appointed cottage with stunning views of Loch Fyne. It is within easy walking distance of the town where there are a variety of shops and restaurants. It is advisable to book restaurants in advance. I look forward to returning.

Some bad, some good.

There was very little toilet paper supplied and there were some dirty dishes in the cupboard. The kitchen was supplied with the bare minimum. The refrigerator needed to be wiped out. The owner was responsive to a question. Needs a bit of an update. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was adequate.

An enjoyable short break

Inverary was a lovely little town for a short break and Newton Cottage South had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped (we ate out so only used it for breakfast and snacks), the bed was comfortable and the bathroom, although small, was new and clean. It was an easy 10 minute walk into the town and the co-op was even closer. The view was lovely and there was a great back garden to sit in when it was sunny. Parking was also available at the back of the cottage. The road traffic was quite loud but we got used to it and it wouldn't put us off staying again.

Sorry left cottage early due to some factors noises of scratching etc in attic very loud and scary.

Had to leave cottage early for various reasons loud noises in the attic quite scary and not nice. Also the traffic noise was awful constant you couldn’t sit out front al all impossible to enjoy the view. Also the two armchairs in room were absolutely filthy definitely would not sit on them and couch was very uncomfortable. Both front door and back door entrances were very dirty never been swept in months leaves and dirt being carried into house. Bedroom was fine nice views and apart from loud noises in attic would have been ok. Bathroom also was ok although large people might struggle with tight shower cubicle but ok for us. Kitchen was also ok although no drawers for cutlery and no bowls or microwaveable equipment and sink difficult to keep the back of it dry. We were sad about these issues really but it needs upgrading of downstairs furniture urgently and outside back area need some T.L.C. Sweeping and some plant pots and some chair cushions etc not much but just nice touches only a suggestion.

All round very good. 2 good size rooms. Modern finish. Only draw back was the road out front. But the view more than compensated for it.

Lovely break

Newton Cottage South is very well presented, cosy and comfortable. Stunning views right outside the door. There was nothing we needed that was not provided and we had a terrific break. So easy to just wander up the road for evening meals, drinks etc., and some great walks nearby.

Perfect relaxing break

A lovely cosy cottage which gave us a lovely base for our holiday. Only a few minutes walk into Inveraray and stunning views from the cottage over the loch and mountains.Only slight negative is there is a road right outside which can be a little noisy but don't let that put you off, it is a perfect place to stay for a lovely relaxing break.

Great loch side stay in quiet town

Great location looking out over the loch, cottage has everything you could want and is really comfortable. The town is really nice with some small shops that you can get the basics. Book in advance for restaurants as they were all full. Nice walks around Inveraray castle and 30 min drive to great walks around the west side of Loch Lomond park.

House with a view

We have been spoilt on our recent stay in beautiful Inveraray. The warm weather allowed us to enjoy the evening views over Loch Fyne and even dips in the loch (it's quite shallow outside the property). As others have mentioned, the house is straight onto the A83 but it is not a constant stream of traffic and, if you are a light sleeper, the road cannot be heard from the back bedroom. Super provisions in the kitchen and very useful to have a washing machine as we'd already been away for ten days prior to this stay. Highly recommended a visit to Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, Fyne Ales Tap and Brewery and Samphire.
