A warm welcome awaits you from hosts Alistair and Jenifer to Thistle House, a beautifully romantic spacious homely old Victorian country house built in 1900 and is situated in a large pretty wooded garden, overlooking Loch Fyne to Inveraray and its famous castle.
Thistle House has been providing quality guest accommodation for over 30 years with many of its guests returning year after year. The accommodation has recently undergone a high quality refurbishment with your total comfort and relaxation in mind to enhance this already beautiful Victorian house.
Our gardens have some special visitors which can be seen from both our public rooms and bedrooms. Look out for our family of red squirrels and roe deer and keep a special watch out for the many seals in the loch at the front of the house. The house is also perfect for bird watching with both woodland and shore birds.
The Guest House is perfectly located for visits to Inveraray, Dunoon, Oban and many more of the beautiful surrounding west coast of Scotland's areas. It is also perfectly located for the famous Loch Lomond National Park with its lavish land offering a range of leisure opportunities; such as scenic drives, local crafts, rambling, sailing, fishing, hill walking, boat trips, historical sites, pony trekking and of course Scotland's most famous sport, golf. Our well appointed spacious bedrooms are individually named after local clans of the surrounding west coast of Scotland. Each room has a small history of the clan and a display of their tartan and crest.
All of the bedrooms have en-suite facilities, are tastefully furnished and are complimented with luxurious new crisp white cotton bed linen and fluffy white towels. Each of the rooms feature , flat screen remote control colour TVs, DVD/CD players, radio alarm clocks, hospitality trays, hairdryers, individually controlled central heating, and a high quality range of Hand made organic toiletries. For those warmer days a picnic blanket is available for use during your stay.
There is a choice of a Victorian 4 poster, king size, family, double and twin bedrooms. All rooms have panoramic views of Loch Fyne or the quiet tranquillity of our woodland garden. The impressive lounge is always a talking point amongst our guests and is indeed the perfect place for meeting and chatting to other guests. It overlooks the loch and has an impressive, romantic open log fire where you can relax in the comfy sofas enjoying a wee dram on us. The lounge also has an array of books and information on the local area. The Dining Room benefits from wonderful views over Loch Fyne to Inveraray and the castle.
