Lots to do in the local area. Highly recommended! ##### Marie-Claire K. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Janet B. 3 Jul 2024 #### Pros and Cons! We enjoyed our week at the Old Fire Station, great location looking out towards Bute. The village is interesting and although there are some empty shops you can still feel the grandeur of bygone lives. The house is comfortable, clean, but not sparkly clean. The outside furniture was very dirty and I hadn’t come on holiday to start scrubbing it clean, which is what it needed. If it had been wiped down at the end of each holiday let and not allowed to build up, it would have been a lot easier just to give it a quick clean. There was an over whelming musty, damp smell downstairs in the bedrooms. I would also have liked clearer recycling instructions, these hadn’t been updated for a while, such as dates and what can and cannot be recycled. The kitchen bin and good old Henry hoover were in need of a good clean too. My husband and I holiday four to six times a year in the UK in holiday lets so I like to think we know what makes an excellent holiday home. One last thing, it is always very much appreciated if there is some milk in the fridge and maybe some teabags, coffee and biscuits. A little thought that makes a difference but there was absolutely nothing! ##### Janet B. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### sandra nelson 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyable few days Wonderful property that is in the heart of the village with walking trails on the doorstep. Comfortable facilities and a very nice outside space to watch the pontoon seeing the RLNI practicing and the boats coming in and out, ##### sandra nelson Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Red Squirrel, Stevenston by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stevenston-Hotels-Red-Squirrel.h31884764.Hotel-Information) > - [Scourie Lodge B&B and Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lairg-Hotels-Scourie-Lodge-BB-And-Gardens.h32759778.Hotel-Information) > - [Tigh Mor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Tigh-Mor.h23064993.Hotel-Information) > - [UHI Inverness – Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Cityheart-Inverness-Campus-Accommodation.h18692953.Hotel-Information) > - [Bentley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel.h32118669.Hotel-Information) > - [Strathburn Hotel Inverurie by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-Strathburn-Hotel-Inverurie-By-Compass-Hospitality.h12578746.Hotel-Information) > - [Rusacks St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Rusacks-St-Andrews.h21486.Hotel-Information) > - [Crieff Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crieff-Hotels-Crieff-Hydro.h574583.Hotel-Information) > - [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > - [Muthu Oban Regent Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Muthu-Oban-Regent-Hotel-Refurbished.h1419323.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Inverness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Inverness.h20408.Hotel-Information) > - [Myrtle Bank Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Myrtle-Bank-Hotel.h20233396.Hotel-Information) > - [Seabraes Apartments and Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Seabraes.h67115620.Hotel-Information) > - [Lochgreen House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-Lochgreen-House-Hotel.h12755818.Hotel-Information) > - [The Park Hotel Peebles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peebles-Hotels-The-Park-Hotel-Peebles.h13177753.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Blu Hotel, Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-The-Station-Hotel.h4564713.Hotel-Information) > - [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > - [Hot tub lodge with stunning view](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taynuilt-Hotels-Hot-Tub-Lodge-With-Stunning-View.h59769535.Hotel-Information) > - [Loch Lomond Waterfront Luxury Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Waterfront-Luxury-Lodges.h27365911.Hotel-Information) > - [Raven’s Cliff, Motherwell by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Ravens-Cliff.h23151361.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Bank Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Pine-Bank-Chalets.h29344496.Hotel-Information) > - [Buccleuch Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Buccleuch-Arms-Hotel-Restaurant.h5436640.Hotel-Information) > - [The Millcroft Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Millcroft-Hotel.h35254076.Hotel-Information) > - [Highgrove House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmarnock-Hotels-Highgrove-House-Hotel.h29841477.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Strathspey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Macdonald-Strathspey-Hotel.h2429678.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Aviemore Woodland Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Macdonald-Aviemore-Luxury-Woodland-Lodges.h34755276.Hotel-Information) > - [Metro Inns Falkirk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falkirk-Hotels-OYO-Metro-Inns-Falkirk.h22202528.Hotel-Information) > - [The Fox And Willow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-The-Fox-And-Willow.h4563123.Hotel-Information) > - [The Esplanade Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Hotels-OYO-The-Esplanade-Hotel.h6467698.Hotel-Information) ---
