The Old Cottage

Delightful B & B! Karen and Darren are warm, welcoming hosts so knowledgeable of the area. We loved our stay. Our room was immaculate, cozy sitting area with a beautiful view of lovely gardens and the water. The bed was so comfortable, the en-suite bathroom was great. Their breakfast was delicious and we so enjoyed visiting with the other guests while watching squirrels, birds and bunnies dine on the patio. They recommended a nearby restaurant for dinner…top notch ! We even got to hear their friends play and sing folk music! Arduaine Gardens are walking distance. We will remember The Old Cottage and it’s wonderful hosts fondly. Book it!

Breakfast was good. Comfortable room. Glad it was close to Melford Hotel where I had an excellent dinner.

We chose this lovely BandB for its location and great reviews. It was an excellent choice. We cannot praise the hosts, Darren and Karen enough. We were warmly welcomed and shown our room , Islay. It had views of the garden and was beautifully appointed and really comfortable. The en suite was lovely and we had plenty of space. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Darren and Karen have a Great knowledge of the local area. This was helpful for planning our sightseeing. Thank you! The location is perfect for visiting Arduaine Garden, Kilmartin and Crinan. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Wonderful stay. Perfect location next to Arduaine gardens and Melfort hotel. Our room was beautiful, peaceful and so comfortable. Darren and Karen are the perfect hosts. Excellent breakfast and facilities. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We had the most incredible stay at Darren and Karen's charming cottage in Scotland. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The cottage itself is a true gem, with its picturesque surroundings and cozy interior. It's evident that Darren and Karen have put a lot of love and care into every aspect of the cottage. The attention to detail is impeccable, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds and tasteful decor. The location is simply breathtaking, nestled amidst the stunning Scottish countryside. We enjoyed long walks in nature, taking in the beauty of the landscape, and exploring nearby attractions recommended by Darren and Karen. Furthermore, Darren and Karen were exceptional hosts, always available to assist us with anything we needed. Their local knowledge and recommendations made our trip even more memorable. We cannot recommend Darren and Karen's cottage enough. It's a true oasis of tranquility and a perfect retreat for anyone seeking a relaxing and unforgettable escape. We are already looking forward to returning to this magical place!"

Amazing hosts who went out of their way to help us have the most enjoyable stay. Wonderful breakfasts and beautiful rooms.

Stop looking and book this place immediately! I cannot say enough wonderful things. The rooms are beautiful and extremely clean, the B&B overall is comfortable and inviting, and the breakfast was AMAZING. It is also in a fantastic location with a glorious view of the water. Karen and Darren have made sure The Old Cottage has everything you need to relax and truly be on holiday. We stayed in 8 hotels/B&Bs during our UK road trip, and this place was by far the best. Our only regret is that we were not able to stay longer!

The best service you can imagine! The hosts are absolute #1 in service and see the customers! The room fantastic, the breakfast perfect. We just love this place!

Excellent bed and breakfast, in a nicely refurbished (2018) cottage, bordering one of the most beautiful and fantastically situated gardens of Scotland. Rooms are spacious and fully equipped. Breakfast à la carte in a room with stunning view on Loch Melfort. Hosts are welcoming and kind. Great value.
