About this property

Gate Cottage on the shore front, sleeping 6 persons.

Gate Cottage is a stunning self-catering cottage set on the waters edge in the picturesque village of Kames. Beautifully presented the cottage is filled with modern flair and Scottish country charm, perfect for guests who are looking for comfort and relaxation. Ideal for families or couples wanting to enjoy this magnificent region.

Featuring three bedrooms, this beautifully restored cottage was the original Gate House to Ardlamont Estate. The location and the views over the Kyles of Bute are a highlight.

With open living spaces and sea views to enjoy Gate Cottage is nothing but warm and welcoming. The open plan living area features the kitchen, dining and sitting area, a large living space with picture perfect windows looking out over the sea. The main living room is filled comfortable leather sofas and a wood burning fire. A wonderful room to enjoy cosy nights in.

The kitchen is very well equipped, complete with electric cooker, hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. From the kitchen there is a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, an extra space for storing wet boots and coats.

The cottage has three bedrooms, the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, both spacious and inviting. There is a twin room with sea views and a double bedroom sharing the family bathroom with a bath/overhead shower, basin and WC.

Outside
The grounds itself is a haven to explore, with a large garden to enjoy further views out over the Kyles of Bute and the nearby villages. With outdoor furniture enjoy this wonderful area on lazy, sunny afternoons. The views are spectacular. There is will also be a seating area on the shore side of the property from April to October to soak up the views.

Gate Cottage is an ideal base to explore the West Coast of Scotland for walks, fishing and visiting the many surrounding attractions. Or you may simply take time out to enjoy the ambience of this gorgeous cottage by the sea.

Family getaway
Our stay here was lovely, unfortunately we were staying during Storm Agnes so the weather was dreadful. Beautiful cottage, a little out of the way and a long trip down but if you are looking for peace and quite and a beautiful view of Bute and the Kyle of Bute then this is the place to stay. We found the ferries brilliant very quick and much easier ro come via the ferries than all the way down from Loch Lomond. The cottage has everything and was spotless. Would definitely recommend Gate Cottage.

Beautiful location
Gate Cottage is in a beautiful part of Scotland and is a comfortable cottage. Disappointing that you can't enter the cottage until 5.30pm, unlike all of the other holiday homes we have stayed in which have been around 3-4pm! No welcome pack either which is very unusual these days!

Gate Cottage Christmas 2022
We stayed at Gate Cottage for Christmas 2022 (22nd - 27 Dec) The Cottage comfortably sleeps 6 and is fully equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge/freezer and all the kitchen equipment needed. The cottage is lovely and cosy with a log burner (enough logs for our 5 days stay). The Cottage is in the heart of the beautiful village of Kames, with Kyles of Bute literally on the door step. A wonderful home from home experience with wonderful surrondings on the lovely Argyll and Bute coastline.
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022
