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.

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.

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.

Lovely cottage in stunning location
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.

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.

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.

Relaxing break
A warm welcome awaited us at Auchgoyle cottage, with a little note and welcome pack and fresh milk in the fridge. The cottage is a cosy little home from home with everything we could need for our stay and has stunning views across the loch. Brian and Becs are on hand next door if there are any issues, but we didn’t have any. The cottage is perfectly placed to explore the surrounding area. We’d love to return! Anne and Jim

Fantastic 5 star
What a fantastic find! The most perfectly catered for holiday home. Everything has been thought about so carefully down to an emergency sewing kit! Brian and Becs were such friendly, helpful and informative hosts. We were greeted by a very welcoming tray of goodies and milk already in the fridge. Bravo to both of you!

Wonderful loch views, comfy cottage
Very comfortable cottage, great help from the owners who live next door, lots of treats provided. Amazing to see the constant change of light and shadow over the loch on the doorstep, and the wider views to the Arrochar Alps. Lovely little village, very handy for Inverarary, Kilmartin Glen, Crinan Canal and other attractions of Argyll. Definitely to be recommended.
