We are returning guests and absolutely love this property. It is in easy walking distance to local shop, pub and lochside. There is also a fab Indian restaurant and takeaway in the vicinity. There is a cafe in the village called Bluebell, they are the most welcoming people we met and dog friendly. The house was immaculately clean, the beds and towels were all quality grade. The kitchen is big and filled with plenty of cupboards all packed with any type of utensil you can imagine. If you are happy to cook its perfect, im not a cook but still enjoyed the social space. We did love the games room with a table tennis and darts, which we used quite a bit in the evening after a goid day out. Gorgeous relaxing loung with TV and beautiful views, the garden is spacious and well kept, our little dog loved it. We regularly book villas/cottages and most times they meet your expectations, however, this property exceeds it and thats why we return when we can.

Fabulous place

Delightful cottage in beautiful setting. Very comfortable with a lovely feel to the house. Great kitchen. We were party of 8 and had plenty of room without the house feeling overly big. Had the best mussels and fresh fish delivery from Fynest Fish and wonderful walks. Very much recommend Glenan Bay woodland walks (by Portavadie) and Kilfinan community woodland (at Tighnabruich).

great house

Four Winds was a great base for walking and kayaking. Recommend visiting Otter Ferry for supper and crabbing. Lots of wildlife, good place for bird watching, loved the room upstairs for the view and board games. Very well equipped kitchen, homely feel to the house. We were lucky to have fabulous weather, not what I was expecting on my first visit to Scotland. Great. Thank you

Very comfortable, well equipped property

The property was in a lovely location on the edge of Kames, on a hill with fabulous views north across the Kyles of Bute.Communication with the property owner was excellent and always helpful. The directions given were spot on.The house was extremely well equipped. We enjoyed relaxing in the upstairs room watching the scenery change with the weather.There were some good walks in the area and Kames was a lovely village with a good shop/post office. The Kames Hotel had a good menu and service was friendly and efficient ( make sure you book especially on a Friday. Further afield it was easy to visit Bute (nice castle in Rothesay) and Kilmartin Glen (highly recommend for the museum and visiting the cairns/standing stones/rock art in the area).Highly recommend this property, we had a great stay.

Nice place for a vacation with bigger family/group

Very nice and remote place. The house is in a nice little village with a small shopping store and an award winnnig restaurant (Tide and Thyme). The kitchen in the house is well equipped, so that cooking for bigger groups is fun! We enjoyed our stay!

A perfect stay

This is a fantastic property. So well located for all that the Cowan peninsula has to offer (lots), and such a great property. It really is ‘home from home’, probably the best we have stayed in in terms of being so well equipped. Whilst there were only two of us staying, it is such a vast property that you could easily fit 2 families in and not feel squashed.it is so warm and cosy and just has a lovely feel to it. We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough; the owners clearly care about their guests and want you to love it as much as they do.

A wonderful week in Kames

The house was superb. Excellent spacious accommodation for the 6 of us plus a dog, 3 cars and a boat! The upstairs lounge with its very large picture windows, had the most wonderful of views out over the Kyle. We found plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. The Kames Hotel in particular needs mention.

Family holiday for 8 and a dog

The youngest guest was 17, so having two living rooms, a games room and a kitchen diner where we could all easily cater and cook was ideal. Very well-appointed and more than thoroughly equipped. It was all very comfortable from the cosy downstairs TV lounge to the bright and airy upstairs viewing lounge. We appreciated having three en-suites and a bathroom. This is a very well tended property.
