Cosy cottage with direct view of Loch Fyne
Auchgoyle Bay Cottage is the perfect base to explore Argyll – the Coast of the Gaels. The cottage is in the small village of Minard, just south of Inveraray and has direct views across the ever-changing panorama of Loch Fyne. There are walks to suit all abilities from the cottage, along the shore, round the village and up into the hills to the deserted Feorlin village or a short walk away at the National Trust gardens at Crarae. The loch shore is 100 metres away, where you can launch small boats and kayaks. Inveraray and Lochgilphead offer a range of facilities including restaurants, shops and other tourist attractions. Both are a short drive away. You can explore further afield if you wish with Oban and Kintyre within easy reach, but just as easily spend a week within a few miles of the cottage and do something different every day.

What a wonderful stay! We had everything we needed, and the hosts were delightful. The area is so lovely, too - we wish we had planned to stay longer to enjoy this cottage and the area.
The cottage is lovely. Just perfect to wind down and relax. We were in the area for a family wedding & were only there for the weekend but it was lovely to sit in the sun room for beakfast and just chill. I would love to go back for a longer stay.

We had a wonderful time here! Beautiful views of the water, quiet and peaceful place. The owners are very nice. Local area has lots to offer.
Lovely short break. Brian kept in touch, letting us know when we could arrive early.
Great welcome including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. The cottage was warm, clean and welcoming .
Nice, thoughtfully appointed cottage in a small village on the lochside.
A great holiday cottage in a beutiful location. You will likely want to have a car but there are bus services to the village. There are pretty port towns along the loch at Inverary, Lochgilphead and Tarbert. Ferries to Islay and Jura run from the port at Kennacraig.
Hosts have done an outstanding job providing every comfort. Loch views and access directly across street with access to numerous hiking trails. Highly recommend and one of the best self catering rentals I’ve experienced.
Brian and Becs have thought of everything to make this property the perfect getaway.
The cottage is pristine and communication from booking to leaving (reluctantly) was spot on.
We will be back again.
We enjoyed our week in the cottage very much. It was beautifully clean and very well equipped with everything we could possibly want for self-catering. There are so many lovely places to explore in the area and the cottage made a perfect base. Thank you!
The cottage has everything you need and a full folder provided with things to do in the area. Very comfortable. The highlights were the boat trip from Crinan and the distillery tour at Springbank. Beautiful area and not so many tourists.
Such an amazing view to wake up too. The property is just stunning. Such a cute little place to stay. The host are amazing too. They went above and beyond what we expected. The weekend away was just one of the best weekends we have had. Worth a stay! X
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute and clean house in an area of outstanding beauty.
The accommodation is well-equipped with everything one might need when on a self-catering holiday, including extras in the kitchen. The view from the front of the house is amazing.
The information on the surrounding areas provided within the house was simply outstanding - ranging from books to maps to personal recommendations from the friendly owners - and very well organised.
Very comfortable cottage, great help from the owners who live next door, lots of treats provided. Amazing to see the constant change of light and shadow over the loch on the doorstep, and the wider views to the Arrochar Alps. Lovely little village, very handy for Inverarary, Kilmartin Glen, Crinan Canal and other attractions of Argyll. Definitely to be recommended.
First of all we can recommend the cottage without any reservation. Everything is very neat and clean - prepared by the very kind hosts. They will assist you with everything and are always ready to make your stay as comfortable und nice as possible.
The area is just beautiful, offering a scent of seaside, hills and the greenest nature you will find on the planet.
We're happy to have been there!
Our family of 4 loved every minute at Brian and Bec’s cozy and homey little cottage. It’s perfectly located to explore and they’ve thought of everything you could ever need to be comfortable. The linens are lovely, the sun porch was heavenly, and the space was perfectly organized with Bosch appliances and comfy beds. The cottage is small but still perfect for a family of four. We loved exploring Kilmartin, Dunadd, Invarary, and loch Fyne. Brian had great advice for exploring and the cottage made for a quiet rest bit after our day of travel.
Pleasant apartment with window views of Loch Fyne. Very comfortable 2 bedrooms upstairs. 15 minutes from Inveraray with nice shops, activities and some good restaurants. Easy access to the rest of the peninsula. Hosts made it very easy. Even though they were out of town we were able to get in and out without difficulty. Would definitely recommend this spot.
Das Cottage entsprach genau unseren Vorstellungen. Es ist gemütlich und der Blick auf Loch Fyne ein Traum. Ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge oder einfach die Seele baumeln lassen. Die Vermieter nebenan sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und dezent. Gerne empfehlen wir es weiter.
Bonjour,
L'endroit est très agréable et très cosy.
Il est décoré avec charme et fonctionnalité.
Le propriétaire qui habite à côté a été très gentil, à répondu à nos questions mais à su rester très discret.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour.
