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.

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!

Holidays
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.

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

Back to the Moorings
Here we are again as we said we would ( we were the first to stay at The Mooring in Aug 2021 after refurb) .Warm welcome greeted us when we arrived ,A beautiful day and fabulous week at the moorings Kayaking, fishing in the lough crab catching off the getty ,Fabulous weather only rained once and that was when we were leaving .Well fitted kitchen with all you need .A cosy log fire didn't need it this time .Comfy beds to lie in .Plently to do if you are inclined in the surrounding area or just chill. Resturants locally Creggin Inn has great fish and chips ,and cullen skink .Oysters from Lough Fyne and great ice cream from the pier shop in Inverary. Well worth a visit whether short or long ,We'll be back .

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!
