Holiday rentals with lake access in Loch Etive

Great location with an amazing view! Perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

We have just got back from a fantastic week at The Barn in Ardfern. Cameron’s dad Phil lives nearby and he gave us lots of good tips for places to see. He was also a lovely friendly person to chat to. The Barn is very private and peaceful. Inside it is fantastically designed, comfortable, with everything we could need - a beautiful kitchen, crisp white bed linen, lovely bath and shower, and nice milk, biscuits and wine to welcome us. Places not to miss are Arduaine garden, Crarae garden, Ardmaddy garden and Crinan canal for walking or cycling. Lucy’s in the village was lovely for breakfast, lunch or coffee & cake. Just five minute walk up the hill near The Barn is a splendid view on the surrounding Lochs. We also went to Iona (book ahead with CalMac or West Coast Tours) - it was great getting the bus between ferries rather than driving. The ferries get very booked up at this time of year. Altogether we could not have asked for a lovelier week- thanks so much Phil Abi and Cameron.

Wow! Wow! Wow! We were totally blown away by how amazing this place is. What a beautiful, characterful home. Very easy space to relax in, with everything you need and more. Stunning location. Sitting in the window or on the front porch the views were mesmerising. Half an hour to Loch Lomond and The Cobbler. Discovered the sailing club across the road and watched sailing races while enjoying a G&T. Brian the host is so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again when we visit this part of Scotland. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

The accommodation is lovely, superb views over Loch Tay. Upstairs area is very spacious, well equipped throughout. Thoughtful touches left such as tea, coffee, sugar, shortbread and milk. Kim also messaged to let us know the place would be ready earlier than the listed checkin time which we really appreciated.

We spent a wonderful week at Hollybank with our kids & extended family. Hollybank is situation in a beautiful Glen - it’s remote, peaceful & set amongst a stunning backdrop of mountains. We loved: - The peaceful area - Spacious/modern house - Well equipped kitchen - STUNNING views!

Lovely home, we had everything we needed, so cosy too. Everyone was very happy. Even better than in the pictures! Very peaceful surroundings on Loch Fyne, couldn’t ask for a better view- really wonderful. Ann is a kind, responsive and thoughtful host.

Lovely (mostly) clean, modern house. Downstairs shower isn’t fully enclosed and with an overhead shower meant water going everywhere, especially when washing your hair. No toiletries provided, apart from hand wash (we have stayed at numerous properties over the last 6 weeks and the majority have dispensers on the shower walls with body wash, shampoo & conditioner) and no shelf in shower to put your own toiletries on either which is annoying to have to keep bending down to pick them up. The kitchen was well equipped, although some cooking pans weren’t overly clean. The dryer’s filter hadn’t been cleaned either. The lounge area was nice with comfy furniture, but the dining chairs we found a little uncomfortable as they sank when you sat on them. But apart from that we had a lovely stay.

Rock Cottage was a great ‘study camp’ for my daughter in the run-up to her exams. The house was immaculate and very much a home from home. The beds were very comfortable. The highlight, though, is outdoors - the wild garden is enchanting and full of bird life - we loved sitting in the sun room watching the swallows outside, followed by the bats at dusk. It’s in a very peaceful location but only a short drive to Kenmore or Aberfeldy for shops and restaurants. We’d love to be back!

Very clean and comfortable annex. Andrew received us very kindly.

it was a perfect apartment in a perfect location ...Surrounded by wildlife and so peaceful overlooking Kererra Sound...we saw a seal swimming one evening! only 20 minute easy walk to Oban. plenty of restaurants but Lidl and Tesco 1 mile away if you prefer to cook and eat alfresco overlooking the Sound. Irene a wonderful host who gives so much information on places to visit etc and very quick to respond. it was a wonderful week and would highly recommend it to others...

Sarah’s cozy, clean home was so comfortable and practical! The beds were so comfy! Our hostess was very responsive to any inquiries we gave her. Having the crib/ cot already set up for us was such a hospitable touch. We loved taking our morning coffee in the cozy window seat and soaking in the stunning views!

The flat is beautiful and spotless. plenty of atractions in a close proximity, lovely view from the bedroom window. Suz is a great host, very proactive, everything went really smoothly.

Great location and well equipped space!

We had a fantastic stay at Emma and Steven's apartment. It was spotless, cosy and fully equipped for a relaxing break. We really liked the location, with great walks nearby and Oban just a short drive away. Be sure to visit the newly reopened Taynuilt Inn at the end of the road - a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

Lovely place to stay. Chrissie gave very helpful instructions to find the accommodation as well as some good recommendations. Everything was as described and had everything needed for a quiet stay. Good fishing places nearby. Local cafe was great too. Chrissie was very friendly

Lovely apartment within private grounds and access to the loch. A short drive to plenty of pubs, restaurants, activities and walking areas.

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

Lovely cottage with beautiful views surrounded by country side. Communication was fab including hints and tips for things to do. We had a great few days and will definitely stay again. Thank you!

Comfortable well appointed accommodation in a beautiful area. Easy walk to visitors centre, viaduct and railway station. Host provided comprehensive instructions and recommendations. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Old Laundry.

I’ve stayed here on a few occasions both with family and on my own when touring the west coast by motorcycle. Every time i stay it gets better and more things are added to the beautiful garden for you to explore. Highly recommended and the Hosts can’t do enough.

Words cannot express the wonderful week we have had on Loch Katrine. Old Smiddy is ideally located for hiking the mountains, lochs and woodland and Carole has thought of all you need to make it feel like a home from home. Having our morning tea watching the Barn Swallows and House Martins catching their breakfast on the lake in the sunshine was very special. Aberfoyle has all you need for food and cute shops and fantastic Doone Hill walk from the town - Free Parking!!! A ferry trip on the Sir Walter Scott from the pier over to Trossachs Pier is a MUST and the Primrose Hill hike was stunning. The Pier Cafe is outstanding, definitely worth a treat and just a short walk away. Thank you Carole for sharing your amazing house, we will be back to enjoy the hot tub and sauna 🤞

We had a relaxing and restful couple of days at John and Dora's...just what was needed after a hectic month of travel. John was most welcoming and helpful and the biscuits were delicious. The accommodation was very comfortable and we loved sitting in the lounge with the warm sun shining in on us. We ate at the local pub and had a ferry ride to Gourock...most enjoyable. We had some trouble finding Oakdene but that was NOT due to the excellent instructions, but because of roadworks. A very helpful local pointed us in the right direction. If you want to experience a piece of paradise this is the place for you.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we loved it just as much the second time round. We are a family of 4 with a 4 and 6 year old and the house is perfect for us. The best view accompanied by chickens and ponies on the doorstep! It's a great base to explore the loch and beyond. Highlights include a local walk to 'the island', climbing Dun na Cuaiche and a ferry over to Kerrera from Oban for a walk and cake. Highly recommend!

Fantastic place! Really beautiful views. Everything was as described. House was clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend it!
