Amazing
What a lovely gem of a place. Hosts Avril and Sue are such genuine, friendly and consummate professionals when hosting. We were greeted warmly and given a personal tour of the home and rooms. Offered tea and cakes on arrival, a lovely touch. The house is 3 stories tall and a traditional building. 5 rooms are rented, the lower floor has a large double length lounge which is available to use by any guest. Games and books can be found in here. The other room downstairs is for breakfast. 4 rooms have front facing windows and the views are stunning. We staying in McPherson on the top floor and found it perfect. The room had all you could need, tea/coffee station, soaps and amenities, lovely ensuite, small chairs and table with a view to the front loch and very comfortable bedding. Milk and chilled water are available in a small fridge in the hall downstairs. Breakfast is pre ordered and time slots given, so you can choose when to enjoy your meal. We loved the locally sourced produce and preserves. Coffee on tap and warm hospitality throughout. For the price paid, the views available, and the charm of the place it's just gorgeous, don't question it, just book this place... Now.

Although somewhat out of town, it is well worth the drive. An excellent B and B, with wonderful co owners who go WAY out if their way for each visitor. They made some dinner reservations for me, despite warning us several times about restaurants booking up. Very very helpfull, and even greeted me with my first name. I will go back there. Definitely the best place that I stayed in during my 14 day Scotland trip!

Perfect stay near Inverary
Great views across Loch Fyne. Thistle House was an excellent place to stay whilst touring the area. Clean, comfortable and welcoming, there was a spacious residents lounge and outdoor seating on the terrace. Very good breakfast, freshly prepared with lots of choice. Highly recommended.
