Fantastic space in amazing location
The location is absolutely fab, love the area, the views and so easy to get on the water. This is a spacious property, comfortably fitted 4 adults and 4 kids.
Only downside for me was the double mattresses were VERY soft (one was just about ok, the other was the worst I have tried to sleep on).

A unique property built to a very high spec and one where you can relax with friends or family.
We have stayed in a lot of rental holiday properties over the last fifteen years and this one comes top overall.
It's real test was that our week in July was not blessed with the best weather, but the airy and light spaces (and that includes the bedrooms and bathrooms) coupled with the view, the modern layout and very high quality fixtures and fittings, meant that my wife and I and four friends were able to enjoy the bonhomie and fun that only a really good break can provide.

Great house in fabulous location
The house was perfect for us. Spacious and comfortable and fabulous views and location. The whole area is beautiful. There are good local shops and cafes/restaurants within walking distance. Lovely local walks. Pebbly beach nearby. The Portavadie Spa was also great hit - indoor and outdoor pools, gym, hot tubs and lovely restaurant. The hob was malfunctioning on first night - but the owner organised an emergency replacement until an electrician could repair it. Great response on a Saturday night.

Stunning cottage
I have been in this property so many times in the past few years and I do find the cottage absolutely comfortable, tidy and clean.
The owner is very kind and immediately ready to support in anyway.
I’m looking forward to be there soon again.

Weekend Break
Travel and arrival instructions were clear and easy to follow. The house is spacious with a variety of lounges to either be together as a group or chill alone, with a book or music. The views from front rooms or deck are fabulous whether bright and clear, or with the wind splashing the waves against the windows. The pool table was a favourite spot!
The bedrooms and ensuite facilities were great, with plenty of hot water and comfy beds.
Plenty of room and crockery in the kitchen, although we did struggle with the high-tech oven!
Waterside is a stunning property in one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland. The property was well appointed and there was ample room for our family group of 8. We were blessed with great weather so enjoyed the views from the balcony. We made use of the information about the local attractions and went on the ferry to Tarbert as foot passengers (great advice), ate at Botanica at the Barn and Kames Hotel (both amazing) and spent a glorious day on Ostell Bay beach.

Waterside
After a number of previous visits to the Waterside it was lovely to return. You couldn’t ask for a better position with stunning views which are ever changing. House is very well equipped and comfortable. It was strange not being able to control the heating ourselves though as the temperature/weather was always different. Rang the owner once to put up it on, which they did straight away, but we would have preferred to have been able to do it ourselves as and when was necessary. Having said that we have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

This was our 7th stay at The Waterside and as always it didn't disappoint us in anyway. Bruce was an amazing host and communication was brilliant. We should have been a group of 8 but ended up with only 2 of us due to restrictions. A quiet and relaxing week which was just what we needed and The Waterside allows you to unwind perfectly. The most amazing views which are as good as watching any television from all of the living area windows, as well as the bedrooms. Many, many thanks for a wonderful time....we have already booked the same week for next year!

Review of New Year delayed because of January mayhem
Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. Views from windows amazing, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and great en suites. Fabulous location. Village had fireworks on Hogmanay at each end, we had benefit of both lots being in middle. Grandson loved beach combing, and bonus seeing otters in wild. Loonie dook was loonie. Food at Royal an Lochan v tasty. Lunch at the Oystercatcher amazing. Beach at Ostel Bay lovely and peaceful albeit few muddy bits to get to it. All in all a great choice for family break to see in 2020.

Pity about the rain
This house is in the perfect location to discover this part of the country, accomodation wise it is perfect with four on-suite bedrooms and what would have been a stunning sun room had the sun shone. the kitchen is modern with plenty of cooking utensiles and all the other stuff required for a family of eight or more to eat.
My favourite bit is in the bedrooms, the full length mirrors are the heaters great idea.
