The cottage has been recently renovated and benefits from all the normal creature comforts and more. It has a stunning natural setting, complete with the soporific sounds of a natural waterfall located to one side of the cottage gardens.

Surrounded by an abundance of natural wildlife, marine life, flora and fauna, including the endangered red squirrel and Pine Marten, the cottage is a perfect coastal retreat, in which to relax and unwind with family and friends.

Ideal escape to the Kyles of Bute
We had a two-night stay as part of a family tour of the area. The cottage was peaceful, clean and comfortable with absolutely stunning views out over the Kyles. It was exceptionally well-stocked with good quality toiletries and kitchen provisions. We also appreciated the bird / squirrel feeder supplies (which the red squirrels also enjoyed). Jill and Chris made us feel very welcome but also respected our privacy. This was a trip down memory lane for me and an introduction to the area for my grown-up daughters, and our stay here was a definite highlight of a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

The location and scenery is truly wonderful. So much to see and with wildlife in abundance we would happily of stayed forever! West Glen was the perfect place for our little family and Boxer Dog and we were out on our boat exploring most days.

So peaceful
Property was amazing, some really lovely touches and a great location. Jill & Chris were so kind and helpful allowing us access to all areas. Fantastic for wildlife (red squirrels, pine martens, badgers, herons, gannets and loads of small garden birds to name just a few). Just the place to wind down and relax.

Beautiful Argyll
Had amazing weekend at this wonderful property for my husband's 50th The setting was superb - a gem of a place to chill and decompress and just sit with nature. We were lucky enough to spot heron, red squirrels, sea trout, a variety of bird species, a doe and a seal. Just lovely. Unfortunately the pine martens were too elusive. We absolutely hope to return.

Stunning
We love it here and had a wonderful time as always, it's our favourite holiday. We saw lots of red squirrels, a barn owl ghosting along whilst we were out on our travels, we even saw the otters and caught the pine martens visiting this time! Jill and Chris are brilliant hosts, we love the little touches they make

A wonderful place to be
We were warmly welcomed by Chris and he gave us a short introduction to the house. This has a unique location right on the water and next to a creek. Unfortunately the otter didn't come to wash. But we were able to observe many other animals. The squirrels arrived very quickly once we laid out the nuts that the landlord had kindly provided. It was a great holiday in a very nice house in a nice little town with very friendly people. Always my pleasure.

Tighnabruaich Cottage Stay
Very nice stay. Two points, however, need to be mentioned: 1) Difficult access to property. A "small/regular" car would've had a very difficult time traversing it (huge potholes). A comment about accessibility to the property was not mentioned in the advertisement. 2) The water filtration system (UV lamp and filter) has not been checked since 2016... We do have the same system in our estate: the UV lamp is replaced yearly and the plastic filter tank is typically cleaned monthly to bi-monthly basis. The property is beautiful and peaceful surrounded by water and birds!

Great Argyll cottage
West Glen is a lovely coastal cottage, right on the waters edge reached along an unpacked road, which adds to the privacy of the cottage. Although the cottage is a traditional building it has been really well modernised with everything we needed for a really comfortable stay. Chris and Jill were super hosts, helping us when our plans changed and providing local knowledge. I’m sure we’ll return.

Beautiful, peaceful property!
Such a peaceful and relaxing place! We enjoyed the walks into the village and up to the old harbor and lily pond. Lunch at Five West was delicious! We do hope to return. One thing to note, the last leg of the road is challenging to a low to the ground car.

A go-again kind of place
I arrived rather late at this heavenly property but was greated by a very cheery host. He realised very quickly where my holiday needs were and kept the conversation on track with very helpful suggestions. I need a quiet location in a comfortable place, close to facilities and most importantly in tune with nature. I got this in spades. Right from the visiting red squirrels, a pair of playful sea otters and bird species galore. Thank you so much for allowing me to stay there. It was so, so memorable. I still think about that red throated merganser sitting on the shore without a care in the world.
