Thistle House Guest House

Having moved home to Scotland after many years in England we are very pleased to welcome you to our little slice of heaven overlooking Loch Fyne. We hope, like us, you will enjoy the spectacular scenery, the wildlife, the every changing weather (it does rain sometimes), and the wonderful food. The list is endless. We came for the weekend, found Thistle House was for sale and never made it home.

Thistle House is a traditional period property with individually designed rooms and modern ensuite bathrooms. It is located on the East shore of Loch Fyne with uninterrupted views across the Loch to Inveraray Castle. The property sits in 2 acres of wrap around wooded gardens attracting many beautiful birds, red squirrels, and pine Martens, and in the summer you can sit amongst the shrubs and flowers contemplating the peace and tranquillity away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. In the evenings the sunsets are spectacular with the light reflecting off the water. As there is very little light pollution the sky at night can also be amazing.

The neighbourhood is very quiet and unspoilt and perfectly positioned to visit many interesting places in Argyll and the surrounding areas. There are many wonderful walks (take your pick of hills, pine forests, and waterfalls)and interesting beaches all within easy reach. There are of course castles too if you are interested in history including Inverary Castle (1m directly across the loch and 20 miles by road). There are many great places to eat showcasing the best local produce from land and sea to suit all tastes or if you are a "foodie" maybe even enjoy the challenge of a different one every night, from simple sandwiches to fine dining and variations in between.
