Lovely few days at Derryguaig, great property for 2 adults, teenager and a dog. House had everything we needed, very well equipped. Really comfy and lovely views out over the Kyles of Bute. Nice Friday night dinner at the Tighnabruaich hotel and fab lunch at The Oystercatcher in Otter Ferry, well worth the trip and lovely swim in the loch after. Visit to Ostel Bay and nice lunch at Botanica in the Barn after and a day trip to Bute. Would highly recommend the house and the area.
As always wonderful

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. Everything had been well thought out and the lovely welcome pack was much appreciated. The location is perfect for sightseeing on the secret coast and also travelling across to Bute for the day on the ferry. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property and would love to return some day.
One of the best

We have stayed in holiday homes for many years and Derryguaig is one of the most comfortable and well equiped in an amazing location. It was spotlessly clean, bed and bedding comfortable and good quality. Plenty of kitchen crockery and kitchenware, the extras like toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, cleaning aids etc. were most generous. We enjoyed sitting out in the sunny front garden watching the world go by, the boats and the birds. Mustn't forget our morning visitor, a roe deer coming down for breakfast.

This is the fourth time we have stayed at Derryguaig and it did not disappoint. This year we even had good weather except the last day, although the down side was that the midges and clegs were out in force. The village was very quiet, even for June but fishing, walking, kayaking, paddle boarding were excellent all week. Missed seeing the Waverley this year though I believe she is back on the Clyde again at the end of the month. Shame the Gluepot and Royal have got so dear these days. Glad the Tinny still keeping the faith.
Total relaxation

We had a wonderful stay, so relaxing in an amazingly well equipped apartment with everything you could think of provided in spacious rooms. The location was excellent with easy parking in a quiet village and spectacular views. Definitely somewhere to return and explore local area some more.

We had a wonderful stay at Derryguaig by the sea over the festive period. The house was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owner was fab and always on hand if needed. There was a gorgeous welcome pack and lovely Christmas decorations adorned the house. We will happily return to this beautiful house.
Return visit to our favourite place.

This is our fourth stay at Derryguaig by the sea since 2020...we simply love this property. The views, walks nearby, beaches, cycling routes-the list is endless... but nothing beats the feeling of home on each return visit. The property is well equipped with everything you need, a wonderful multi-fuel fire, gardens to front and rear and i have to say very welcoming locals. We will definitely return.
Excellent stay

A brilliant property for enjoying Tighnabruaich & wider Argyll. Shops and cafes less than 100m away, sea and island views and a very comfortable / well equipped property. I look forward to returning - thank you for all the thoughtful and generous touches.
A fantastic place to stay

We had a brilliant two weeks at Derryguaig and we couldn't recommend it higher. The location is great, close to the shops, cafes and pubs, and close enough to the water so we could swim most days, and watch otters, dolphins and a wide variety of bird and boat life from the front garden or front room. The house was much bigger than we expected, beds were very comfortable, WiFi was excellent, and it was very well equipped, we could not think of anything that was missing. The owners were very helpful and understanding, so all in all heartily recommended.
Beautiful location and property

We have stayed in this property twice and both times it has exceeded our expectations. Great facilities at the property and wonderful views overlooking a peaceful loch. Great place for a quiet relaxing break, with lots to do in the surrounding area.

This was our third stay at the property. It is ideal for my elderly parents with its location close to the village shops and the porch where they could sit and watch comings and goings when the weather was wet or windy. Midges were out in force that week and seem to have developed a taste for smidge too! I now know why so many people used to smoke! We love coming here and seeing family and friends while enjoying Tighnabruaich as always. Hoping to be back again next year.
Fully relaxing week.

Could not have wanted more from this property and a relaxing week. We weren’t blessed with good weather but that’s a gamble you take when staycationing. However the comfort we found in the apartment when the a long way to make up for this. Thank you so much for the hamper which was such a lovely surprise ( the bread was especially good ) The view from front window was our entertainment on most evenings changing all the time as the weather changed, we also saw the Tighnabruaich lifeboat go out on one occasion it was reported on the RNLI website as being the third time this year. We had several excellent evening meals at the Portavaidie Marina which is a lovely setting for a relaxed evening. Also the village itself has several place’s to eat which we tried and had excellent meals and service.
I have only one thing to mention that could improve the bathroom for someone like me who prefers a bath to a shower that would be a hand rail to aid getting in and out, as I’m sure Im not your only older guest with arthritic knees.
Hurray!

We cannot thank Shirley and Donald enough for their hospitality. The property is such a wonderful place to stay, has everything you need for those cosy nights in (when the Scottish rain descends). The view also makes the property extra special, the location is fabulous for anyone wanting a peaceful setting, whilst overlooking the sea. Although Tignabruaich has a small community, everyone is pleasant and helpful. We have stayed at the property for a period of 4 weeks over the last twelve months-i think that says more than words.
Highly recommend!!

Had a fabulous stay at Derryguaig . Lovely spacious rooms with amazing views. Great kitchen and conservatory for dining. Access to local shops and restaurants also easy. Welcome hamper from the host was a gorgeous surprise. Loved it all! Thanks Argyll self catering holidays, another great property on your site.

Great holiday in a well appointed property. Perfect for my elderly parents and all the better for the great weather this year, though the Tighnabruaich midges were gnawing through the windows to get at us some days - brought back memories from past summers and all us weans being dumped into a bath with Detol, after feeding the Kyles’ midges. This was our second stay at this property and hope it is only the second of many! Find Iain and the staff at Argyll more than helpful whenever I contact them. Can’t praise them enough.
Yet another fantastic staycation at Derryguaig by the sea!

This is our second stay in a twelve month period, and we have rebooked for October. The property is such a homely place, with everything you need for those nights in beside a log fire. We were gifted with the sun during our stay, so a visit to Otter Ferry and Ostell bay were a must. The villa i believe they call it in bonny Scotland, is very well equipped. The views are spectacular, the village location perfect, with the added bonus of a wonderful tearoom and welcoming local pubs...the local residents were also very helpful.
I'm saddened writing this review for two reasons, one we had to return home and two- others will now have the benefit of this wonderful home in a superb location.
Highly recommend.

Very spacious and clean. Welcome hamper was an added bonus. Perfect location right on the sea front with terrific views. Could possibly do with some sort of wall or fence in the front garden as there is a big drop onto the road.

We spent a fortnight at Derryguaig with our two kids. The accommodation was ideal - spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for eating in, which we did most nights. The weather was mixed while we were there so we only ate in the garden one night but the dining room was lovely too, nice big table, light airy conservatory (and well heated for the cooler days). We all slept comfortably and the bathroom was ideal - bath and shower, and plenty of hot water. The sitting room was really comfy too and there's a smart TV with Netflix, Prime etc. We spent a couple of rainy days happily in the house. Beyond the accommodation, I only have the highest praise for the owner's responsiveness and how problems were dealt with. We had a couple of issues while we were there (teething troubles really - I think we were among the first few guests to stay) and she responded within minutes to my texts and got things sorted right away. It really meant that the issues themselves became insignificant and didn't mar our stay in any way. We have stayed in many holidays homes over the years and this hasn't always been our experience! There is a wealth of good places for a bite round and about. We were there just as things were opening up post-lockdown but we kept up to date by joining the local community Facebook group - through this we even managed to order takeaway from those restaurants not fully open and make orders from local producers to be delivered to the village shop (itself well-stocked and friendly), so a good way to get up to speed with what's happening round and about. Overall we had a great stay after a turbulent few months. Great walks, beaches, wildlife, food, drink, scenery and above all a perfect holiday home in every way.
Great stay, lovely flat
