There was a safe place for me to keep my motorcycle out of view. upon arriving staff were immediately friendly and offered to help me with getting the bike sorted. I was even greeted by a little wild bird who popped out the bush, apparently he is fed by the staff The room was very clean and the property is in a beautiful location with views of Inverary Castle across Loch Fyne. It would be nice if there were a path down to the Loch as the waters edge was pretty much inaccessible other than that, no criticism the cooked breakfast in the morning was outstanding one of the best I've ever had

Sue and Avril really made our stay pleasant. From the moment I had contact with Sue (requesting another night stay) to dinner reservations and afternoon tea when we arrived, she was constantly engaged with us and making our stay at her beautiful Thistle House warm and welcoming. Breakfast in the morning was fabulous and held us on our daily hikes. Avril was always willing to stay and have a lovely conversation about the wonderful breakfast, adorable chickens out back or just the beauty of Scotland. Wow! Such a fabulous place to unwind. We definitely would stay again. Thank you!

What a lovely gem of a place. Hosts Avril and Sue are such genuine, friendly and consummate professionals when hosting. We were greeted warmly and given a personal tour of the home and rooms. Offered tea and cakes on arrival, a lovely touch. The house is 3 stories tall and a traditional building. 5 rooms are rented, the lower floor has a large double length lounge which is available to use by any guest. Games and books can be found in here. The other room downstairs is for breakfast. 4 rooms have front facing windows and the views are stunning. We staying in McPherson on the top floor and found it perfect. The room had all you could need, tea/coffee station, soaps and amenities, lovely ensuite, small chairs and table with a view to the front loch and very comfortable bedding. Milk and chilled water are available in a small fridge in the hall downstairs. Breakfast is pre ordered and time slots given, so you can choose when to enjoy your meal. We loved the locally sourced produce and preserves. Coffee on tap and warm hospitality throughout. For the price paid, the views available, and the charm of the place it's just gorgeous, don't question it, just book this place... Now.
