Lovely cottage stayed here twice now on fishing trips with my sons. Very clean and very cosy we would certainly use again on our next trip.
Cottage perfect location

Cottage has everything you need and in perfect location but unfortunately the skirting boards and floor upstairs, stairs and downstairs all need a very good clean. We swept them but there’s no hoover to use. Needs a deep clean. Would still recommend.
Great time spent in this "dollhouse"

The house is well organised. I will share three remaks to help you to improve it : - we didn't find a hairdryer; - it was impossible to dry our clothes in the garden (with the sun) because the rope for hanging is durty, broken so too short - the table legs are now too short: they need to be wedged
Thank you again for this booking: we will come again!
Mixed review.

This property needs some tender loving care. There were dirty dishes in the cupboard, no paper towels supplied and only the bare minimum of just about everything. The owner took several hours to respond to a question. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was nice enough. The location was very nice and we loved Inveraray.
Fabulous view

Superb location, view and comfy bed. This property was fine for 2 of us but ground floor area would be too small for any more people to be comfortable. It would be helpful if a cupboard or shelf could be cleared to enable own food storage. Cooker and fridge could be upgraded. Description needs to point out that the garden is shared. Location instructions for arrival are poor. You have to find the house on the busy road and then enter house to find parking instructions, which are also unclear. Information pack could give info on nearest doctor /hospital etc if needed.
A perfect cottage

Newton North was wonderful. Perfectly equipped, lovely decor, great location with marvellous views across the loch. Thoughtful extra touches like hot water bottles, binoculars, ice packs already in the freezer, etc.
The only down side was the main road, which ran past the front door, with lorry traffic starting from early morning.
Great stay.

We stayed here as a family of 4 (2 children aged 7 and 10) and mostly had a lovely time. The location on the loch is stunning and the cottage had a nice bit of character and a decent sized garden (shared with next door cottage). However, the beds were very uncomfortable and badly need replacing. We knew there would be road noise but along with uncomfortable beds this made for very disturbed sleep. There was a note from the cleaner to say that they were cleaning to high standards due to covid 19, however I felt the standard of cleaning could have been better, especially in the fridge. The only other thing is not really a problem just something to bear in mind - it is very small and wasn't quite adequate space for us. Especially as the extending table was a little broken so would only confortable seat 2. Would probably better suit a couple, or couple with 1 child.

Lovely view. Nice ocean decor. Pleasant back yard. Beautiful walks up the back to the quiet woods. Thoroughly enjoyed Inveraray and area. Traffic noise.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review and very much appreciate your kind comments. With regard value for money, only staying 2 nights has an impact. Fixed costs stay the same if staying 2 or 7 nights. Always check prices for longer stays as the nightly price reduces significantly.
Darling of a cottage!

Very well presented. Everything seemed new and clean. Simple and homely. Great location. We visited Crinan, Port Appin, and Tarbet all within easy reach. Huge choice of walks and we particularly enjoyed fishing on Loch Awe from Loch Awe boats. Does have some road noise.
Beautiful Cottage

We (a family with 2 children) spent a couple of wonderful days in this very nice little cottage. The view on the loch is amazing and the traffic noise calms down almost totally during the night. The kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed. Inverary is a great place to stay when visiting Scotland!
Well deserved break in a fabulous cottage by the sea

Myself and my husband were able to grab a few precious days together and I booked Newton Cottage as the location for this. The cottage is very well located with unobstructed views to the lake and indeed just a couple of minutes walk from it. The cottage was very well laid out and a lot of thought had gone into the design, creating a lovely waterside atmosphere with the use of colours and furnishings. It contained all mod cons and everything you might need to cook for yourself if you so wished. Amenities were within a short walking distance and we were delighted to discover a Co-op almost next door (though you would hardly know it as it's off the main road) for any last minute needs. Access to the centre of Inverary was a few minutes walk away where you can find places to eat and drink if you wanted to do so. All in all, hiring the cottage was a very easy experience and good information was provided before and during our stay. We were so pleased, we decided that one day soon, we'll be back again.
Lovely location directly opposite the loch in Inverarey.

The location is excellent. There is a beautiful view from the front of the cottage which is directly next to the lock and has a stunning vista right across and down the lock. There is a back garden which is enclosed. It is a very short walk along the shore side to the village shops and restaurants and bars. Parking just across the road is convenient too. It is a small cottage for four adults, with only one comfortable settee, so a bit of a squeeze for the four of us! It is well equipped, clean and modern in decor. TV and wi-fi worked well as did dish washer, washing machine ect. Overall a very good choice a for a few days stay in a lovely location.

The cottage was really clean and the decoration made it feel like a beach holiday, very central for Inveraray town.
Great place for holiday

We had a great family time in Newton Cottage North. Could enjoy Inveraray Highland games too which was extra bonus to our stay. Location of the cottage is great with a beautiful lake view. Wish we could stay longer.Thank you!

Have visited and worked in Inveraray before but usually stayed in hotels . Booked the cottage last minute a wee bit pricey but it was a holiday weekend . Arrived Friday night got parked over he toad and access to key with no problems . Cottage was very clean and tidy . Good garden at back which was a sun trap . Log fire was an added bonus with lots of fuel readily available . The only gripe was that the cottage is single glazed and when the lorries pass outside during the night or early morning it is a wake up call .

A very clean, comfortable, well equipped cottage. Waking up to look at Loch Fyne from the bedroom window was so beautiful, looking different every day. An easy walk into Inveraray which has everything you need. So many interesting and beautiful places to visit in the area.
