Customer Reviews of Kyles Cottage, Colintraive - Sleeps 6
"Family time"
I greatly value the service the Mackay's agency provides all their customers, I can find no fault at all whenever I have booked a holiday property from them. The holiday cottage in Colintraive, Argyll, was excellent, a child friendly house and an enclosed garden where children were safe to play and enjoy. The cottage was in a great location with the pebble beach on its doorstep. Colintraive is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the countryside, with a great hotel and shop just minutes away. I found that my family all enjoyed themselves, and I enjoyed the quality time spent with my family.

"Great Location"
A bit of a remote location and well away from shops etc and only one hotel almost a mile away. But that is exactly what we want to find in Scotland. A very comfortable cottage, good heating and a wood burning stave thown in as well. Even had four bicycles available for use at no extra cost. The cottage enjoys a very sheltered position and virtually faces south so we enjoyed quite a few days just sitting outside in the small garden. The sea at high tide is only 15 meters or so from your front door. We will definitely return at some future date.

"Lovely, quiet holiday house"
Saw dolphins from the window. The rooms are cozy, beds comfortable. Kitchen well set-up. All around a wonderful house for a family or small group of travelers. Will recommend to friends and family. We did not take the ferry (Gourock-Dunoon) and according to google maps, wouldn't have saved us that much time by taking the ferry. We went North from Glasgow along Loch Lomond to the tip of the inlet, over, and back down again. It's a beautiful drive anyway. Have fun :)

"Relaxing with wonderful views"
Comfy cottage, a little worn at the edges but we didn't mind that. Had problems with the heating but help was on hand. Unfortunatly no starter fuel for fire and none available close by unless we wanted to pay the hotel £30 for a small bag! But the views and surrounding scenery made up for these little things. Look forward to bringing our grandchildren here.
