Wonderful cosy cottage on the shoreline of Loch Fyne

We are besties with a 54 year age gap and enjoyed a wonderful week's holiday at the Moorings despite 6/7 days of rain. We found the cottage to be really cosy; the two large sofas were just right for curling up on to read or watch the TV and even though we weren't much good at keeping the log fire going all evening it was lovely to look at when it was alight and kept the cottage warm. We loved the location with the view of the loch, the quiet village with friendly natives, the ease to get to fabulous gardens and castles and walks. We enjoyed finding two amazing cozy cafes with Argyll Roasters coffee and even visited the Argyll coffee roasters And we had fab meals out locally. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very good accommodation

We felt very comfortable in The Moorings. The place is well equipped and very clean. The position is ideal, tucked away with just the sound of a stream and the breeze in the trees, and a view of the loch. Certainly a place we would thoroughly recommend.

Cosy Stay

We had a lovely stay at the moorings with four adults and one baby. The upstairs bedrooms are really lovely and beautifully redone. My only suggestion is The kitchen could be decluttered and organised a wee bit more but nothing that impacted our stay. Amanda was a lovely and super helpful host. Thanks for everything we had a very memorable trip.

A wonderful peaceful haven

This cottage suited all our needs, sitting out on the bench watching the gannets dive in the loch and the swallows busy overhead and enjoying the quiet and calm of the whole area was a delight. A cosy fire and far too comfortable sofa together with the huge bed upstairs made our stay a real pleasure. Amanda, our host was amazing helpful and kind going far beyond the norm.

Relaxing short pet friendly break!

Absolutely loved staying at the mornings for 3 nights with my partner and dog. Our dog loved being so close to the loch that she could go for a swim! The Moorings is little cosy home from home, has everything you need for a comfortable stay! The booking process was easy and contact with the host was also welcoming and quick responses too! Would recommend to anyone looking for a pet friendly cottage!

It was our first time in Scotland. After an exhausting day of sightseeing in Edinborough, we arrived at the accommodation in the evening, immediately felt at home and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The flat had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

A cosy cottage on Loch Fyne with lovely views

A cosy cottage in a nice quiet spot, with access to the Loch. The master bedroom was lovely and the bed was so comfortable. Plenty of wood and coal for the open fire, and a very nice gift pack on arrival. Secure garden to the rear for our pup. Some TLC could be offered to the ground floor but a most enjoyable stay anyway. Amanda was very welcoming and checked to see if all was OK during our stay.

Lovely quiet spot

We had a lovely, relaxing family holiday here. The owners looked after us really well before and during our visit, including rescuing us the day we locked ourselves out, and couldn’t have been more helpful. The cottage is very sweet, with bright, calm bedrooms and a cosy sitting room for the evenings. Best of all was sitting at the front of the cottage on the outside furniture, in the sunshine, overlooking the loch. I sat here for hours with my broken leg, reading, knitting and watching the boats and birds. The rest of the family played badminton or went for walks along the shore. There were lots of outings to be had, and plenty of nice places to eat nearby too.

Wonderful stay at the Moorings

Lovely cottage very close to the shores of Loch Fyne. We spent a lot of time paddle boarding and kayaking on the Loch which is beautiful. It's located in a very small and quiet village but within easy striking distance of places such as Inveraray, Dunoon, Bute etc. Amanda was great and made us feel very welcome. We loved having her dogs visit us too! Highly recommend a stay in this lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the world.

Beautiful home in a beautiful place

My family and I, along with our dog, absolutely loved our time at The Moorings. It was idyllic being within a stones throw of the loch, we all enjoyed sitting out the front with a drink and a book or some drawing. There was also so much to explore locally too, with forests, waterfalls and of course castles:) The house itself was a joy to be in, so comfortable with so many extras that made it feel like a home away from home. Our host was responsive and so helpful which made our stay a truly stressfree break away from it all:)

Schöne, ruhige Lage, direkt am Wasser

Das Haus liegt ruhig und abgelegen direkt am Wasser. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und zurückhaltend und wohnen nicht weit vom Haus entfernt. Hilfe war da, wenn sie gebraucht wurde. Wir wurden in der kalten Jahreszeit mit Holz und Kohle versorgt. Eine schöne Lage um die Gegend zu erkunden.
Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2022

Highly recommended! The Moorings is a delightful cottage hidden away on the east coast of Loch Fyne

A welcome retreat for our April break in Newton, an idyllic hamlet of cottages. Helpful and friendly host. Friendly neighbours.Traditional cottage boasts particularly comfy bedrooms in the newly renovated loft space. Dog friendly. Well equipped and bright kitchen space. Open fire in the living room with fuel provided. Quirky decor. The living room has a curtain provided for the draughty exterior door. Would love to return!
