Lovely location, room enough for 2 people and had everything we needed. Sitting onside looking over the waters to Bute was very peaceful, had a very relaxing week. Hosts were available if needed but did not intrude. Only suggestion would be to swop out tv for a freely Internet TV as Internet very good on the premises and existing TV not good for reliableconsistent reception got no signal quite often in the evenings.

Stayed for a few days and were treated to some gorgeous weather, the location is stunning and not too far from Glasgow. The owners were very respectful with space and communication was great and done so through texting, would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage on the Kyles of Bute

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location on the Kyles of Bute. Cottage great for 2 people close to all local amenities. Really enjoyed our stay and received excellent advice on the locality from Eileen the property’s owner. Would thoroughly recommend.

Another great holiday

This is our third time in Pier Cottage on the stunning Kyles of Bute. We regard this place as our home from home. The historic building is comfortable, the owners are very accommodating and the situation on the beach is idyllic. Can’t wait to return.

Short Break

Spent 4 nights at Pier Cottage, Kames. Although small, it had everything that we required and was ideal for our needs. The location is second to none. The owner Eileen was on hand for any advice and quickly sorted any minor issues. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Lovely location limited indoor views

Kames and the property are ideal for cycling and kayaking. Views from inside are limited but outside chairs are comfortable. Limited storage and small fridge but clean and comfortable with lots of great eating places not far away.

Wonderful waterside stay

Had a great couple of nights chilling out - just me and my grown up son. Lovely place, awesome location. All you need. So peaceful and calm. Fire on the beach at night. Recommend popping into the FIVE WEST cafe in Tighnabruich. There's also a scruffy looking hotel that does quality meals. Wee charity and antique shop too.

Beautiful location

I had wonderful weather and the hosts could not have been more helpful. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Only 2 criticisms: the mirror in the bathroom should be a few inches lower. I am 5ft 2 inches and could only see the top of my head and pepper and salt would be very nice.

Nice cottage.

This was a nice cottage but the beds were very uncomfortable. The mattress was thin and felt like you were sleeping on the metal. I was not comfortable here and did not stay the entire time that I booked for.

Unsurpassed tranquillity

Small, quiet and cosy well-equipped cottage, immediately on the sea front with private deck area and pebbled beach, with main beach roped off and sloping down to sea. View of sea from inside cottage is more limited, but side windows do give a reasonable view. I was there on my own and although the cottage is equipped for 2, it would probably feel cramped for more than a couple of days if more than 1 person was staying there. There are pleasant places for coffee and to eat within walking distance or a short drive. Although quite a number of people walked past the cottage and along the beach with their dogs or to sail, it always felt quiet and tranquil.

Cottage charmant, vue magique!

3 jours au calme, les pieds dans l'eau dans ce cottage charmant, avec beaucoup de cachet, bien rénové et équipé. Terrasse en bord de plage, une vue extraordinaire sur la mer et l'île de Bute. Le village de Kames est très calme et très beau. Coup de cœur de notre voyage en Écosse !

The short break we had was what we expected and more due to the location of the accommodation

The position of the accommodation near the beach and location of the Kames hotel was perfect for our us . From the we visited other places of interest such as Rothsay and Dunoon . The owners Mr and Mrs duff were especially helpful during our stay The weather was an added bonus and the view accross the Kyles of Bute were fantastic

A wonderful bolthole on the shore of the Kyles of Bute and a stone's throw from the Kames Hotel
