      Gate Cottage Christmas 2022
      We stayed at Gate Cottage for Christmas 2022 (22nd - 27 Dec) The Cottage comfortably sleeps 6 and is fully equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge/freezer and all the kitchen equipment needed. The cottage is lovely and cosy with a log burner (enough logs for our 5 days stay). The Cottage is in the heart of the beautiful village of Kames, with Kyles of Bute literally on the door step. A wonderful home from home experience with wonderful surrondings on the lovely Argyll and Bute coastline.

      Beautiful cottage in a stunning location!
      The cottage is well equipped and well presented. Great kitchen and, although we didn’t cook anything too adventurous, we would have had the equipment to do so if we had wanted to, which often isn’t the case in other properties. Stunning views over the water from the open plan living area. Lovely garden, with a little hidden section higher up that would be great for kids to explore. The garden is enclosed but the fence facing the road is fairly wide and not Labrador proof. There are a few dog-friendly pubs and cafes within walking distance if you decide to eat out. Although we didn’t go away to watch tv, having Sky etc came in handy instead of having to plug in a laptop.

      Christmas in Kames
      The cottage was beautiful and in a great setting. We had just about everything we needed and had a very relaxing break with our two dogs. The only negatives were that we had to purchase our own logs as there was only one bag and the toilets and some kitchen utensils weren't as clean as they perhaps should have been. All in all however we would highly recommend this cottage as it is very spacious, has a large garden, two driveways and modern and comfortable accommodation.

      Lovely cottage. Delightfully presented and very comfortable. We felt very at home from the moment we arrived. Short of nothing at all! The views are breathtaking- what a stunning part of the world the Kyles of Bute are. Would not hesitate to recommend this cottage, and would love to return again some time!

      Lovely location, super cottage
      We had a wonderful week here in July . The cottage is comfortably equipped with everything to make our stay enjoyable and there was ample space for five of us. The shore front location is superb and we relished the wonderful views, which change with time of day and weather. We saw lots of interesting birds, seals and even some porpoises on the boat ride from Tighnabruaich pier. Well worth it. Porthavadie Marina spa is lovely and very affordable for a jacuzzi with a view. Kames Hotel is great for dinner and their malts. Kames golf course is definitely worth a try, although a couple of holes are not for the faint hearted. We enjoyed the beauty and the peaceful nature of this location above all else. We hope to return soon.
