The most amazing holiday property. Stunning location and the property itself was spotless and so very well equipped - above and beyond expectations. Host Adrian communicated faultlessly with us before and during our stay to check everything was ok. Would recommend this property in a heartbeat!

A beautiful home away from home

We had a lovely family holiday, complete with dogs at this wonderful home in Kames. Even with 8 and dogs in the house it never felt crowded and the upstairs living room was a huge hit and not just because of the beautiful views! Add to that the best equipped kitchen, the games room and en-suite in 3 of the bedrooms and you get an idea of just how excellent Four Winds is. Everything is thought of and presented in a really classy way. Overall, excellent!

Second stay at Four Winds

Our second visit to this home proved every bit as good as the first one and we had good weather and opportunities for good walks and to enjoy the magnificent views form the house. Improvements have been made, though we thought it would be hard to improve on the near perfect, and the addition of an area for table tennis and darts seems a great idea as dry weather is not always guaranteed in the West of Scotland. All in all we had a wonderful week and would certainly like to think that we will return again at some point.

Beautiful just beautiful

We had an amazing stay at Four winds it was a total home from home and the owners had thought of absolutely everything you would ever need while staying there. Communication was second to none. We had an amazing time exploring the marina and Kilbride bay ( best beach ever and worth the walk ) Lots to explore in this beautiful part of the country and a lovely trip up from Glasgow with lots of breathtaking scenery. We couldn’t recommend this property enough as we had three generations staying there and plenty of room for us all to meet together or spend time apart. Thank you for letting us have a wonderful holiday in your home.

A Great Space for Two Families

We had a great time in this comfortable spacious holiday home. It was perfect for two families with older teenagers and two dogs with a secure garden. Well equipped kitchen with everything we needed including pizza pans for birthday pizza night. It was lovely to have the light upstairs living room for reading or playing board games. We didn’t need to use the cars much and just explored the immediate area. Ferry across to Tarbert for fish and chips, beach day at Kilbride bay, cake and coffee in Tighnabruaich with a visit to the gallery. The teenagers were delighted to find the secondhand shop too.

The perfect holiday home

This house and location , with its beautiful view down The Valley to the loch exceeded our expectations. It was ideal for all three generations. Clean bright airy space out and warm inside. Tastefully decorated with an eye for detail. The owners have thought of everything and the house lacks nothing. We loved sitting in he stunning sun lounge morning and night but as the weather was good and we could sit in the spacious garden even that was topped by the natural beauty all around and the glorious view of the loch. Games room was great for the teenagers old and young. It was a great base to explore Argyll’s secret coast.

Lovely house with stunning views

Four Winds is set in the most beautiful location on an Argyll peninsula with views across to Bute. Walks straight from the doorstep onto the golf course and several other very local walks including the beach at Ostel Bay which was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. The house itself is immaculate, very well equiped with more games and jigsaws than I've ever seen in any holiday house (and there have been many!). The kitchen has everything you'd ever need, the only very slight issue is it's so well equiped there is very little space for food for 6 for a week. We just moved things around a little, the 2 fridges were an added bonus and we filled both! If you want a get away from it all with amazing walks, enjoy coffee and the most amazing home made cakes then this house has all of these on it's door step. Try out Argyll Coffee Roasters and Wild Kitchen for the best coffee and cake you will ever taste! And all of the other cafes we visited also sold their products. Four Winds was exactly what we all needed, a week chilling out in a stunning setting.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

Zeer volledig, gezellig huis op prachtige plek!

Prettige woning waar iedereen gebruik kon maken van eigen badkamer, heel fijn! Volledig toegerust met wat je ook maar denkt nodig te hebben tijdens je verblijf, er hoeft echt niets extra's mee in je koffer! Door de aanwezigheid van wasmachine en droger kun je ook met minder kleding toe en is je favoriete wandel outfit ook snel weer schoon en droog voor de volgende tocht. Het huis staat op een heerlijk rustige, hoge plek met prachtige uitzichten en uiteraard, volop wandel mogelijkheden. Vriendelijke buren en dorpsgenoten. Ideale plek voor een vakantie waarin wandelen, rust en onthaasten centraal staat. Tevens goede Wifi waardoor 'het digitale welzijn' voor de kids ook prima voorzien was. Voor uitstapje naar een grotere stad zit je wel even in de auto, daar zit je ver vanaf. Tevens nog een tip: houdt via bv Facebook even in de gaten wanneer de plaatselijke horeca open is, voorkomt teleurstelling in het weekend. Een deel is in het weekend gesloten, andere deel juist door de week niet open. (Mogelijk door personeels gebrek?) Wel twee supermarktjes in het dorp te vinden, dus hoeft geen probleem te zijn. Heel vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaar die zelfs nog de moeite nam ons persoonlijk te willen bellen in de eerste dagen na aankomst!👍

spacious, comfortable home away from home

Our family enjoyed a peaceful week at Four Winds in the quiet Kames area of Scotland (west highlands). We would gladly return! The house was reassuringly clean when we arrived, and it was equipped with everything we needed to manage comfortably: great kitchen, bathrooms, and sitting areas, plus washer/drier, board games, DVDs, books, maps, ping pong table, fenced garden and parking area. The views of fields, village, and loch were lovely, and the host was wonderfully communicative before our arrival and afterwards. We ate some good meals in town and enjoyed visiting local beaches and forest trails. We needed a car to get there and travel the area, but we saw many cyclists, walkers, and sailors as well. Enjoy!

Wonderful and relaxing

After a busy week touring London and Edinburgh we were very thankful for a few days at the Four Winds in Kames to take it a bit easier. The house was lovely and the views were amazing. We enjoyed the space, stocked kitchen and having a glass of wine in the backyard. We spent an afternoon playing golf on the course near the house and were lucky enough to have it to ourselves (especially for our kids). Everyone in the town was so friendly and helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer to explore more, but we were also very content to walk around town, enjoy a couple meals out and take in the beautiful scenery. Adrien was also very communicative and great to work with. Highly recommend!
