Cowal hotel guide. Macdonald Hotels hotel in Cowal, Scotland

A lovely stay. Helen was warm and welcoming on my arrival. The room and en suite bathroom were exceptional and the addition of a small fridge with fresh milk and a bottle of water was a lovely touch. There were plenty of sockets and the and those on the bedside drawers also had usb ports which were extremely useful. The only adjustment I would have liked is that it would have been nice to have 4 pillows on the double bed rather than 2 pillows placed in the centre! Overall a lovely stay and...

The room was very clean, and a 5 star review for all the little extras/ little touches. A little jar of oat milk in the fridge was appreciated for my teas/coffees and also being vegan there was biscuits I could eat. The bed was comfy, and the location is lovely - lovely views of the loch and great location for local hiking and the botanical gardens. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts were amazing - you choose your menu choices the night before so it’s cooked right on...

I don't think it's possible to utter a meaningful criticism of the Cedars. I don't propose to try. Why waste words? I hope to arrange a further short holiday later in the year.

Very comfortable and friendly. Viewws to die for. Peaceful and quiet.

Central, newly refurbed, car park nearby, good value only downsize is that it said it was dig friendly but the cost is £30 per night per pet, so dog slept in the car...

Wonderful greeting and welcoming from Darren and Karen. Perfect instructions, their local knowledge and enthusiasm and love for the area is limitless. The accommodation is superb, location is very central to some of the most historical and beautiful, silent areas.The choice of breakfast? ..I guarantee you wouldn’t get the choice of cereals, jam’s etc anywhere else.. (Karen puts other ‘full’ breakfasts to shame..). We will visit the west of Scotland again and unquestionably The Old Cottage will...

Lovely property excellent facilities located within 5 mins walk of beachfront . Keith was an amazing host breakfast was top class 👌

Generally very nice.

Staff were all friendly and dinner and breakfast was great

The accommodation was well placed in Tarbert. The house was very clean and well appointed. The breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend stay here and I would book again in the future.

It was amazing stay in lovely historical place with excellent breakfast. Room was spacious, clean and with stunning sea view. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A cosy cabin decorated beautifully. Everything you’d needle for a night or two away exploring the area.

Stayed at Knockderry House several times and again this time April 23 it was as fab as ever. Love this hotel. Beautiful location. Absolutely stunning food. Lovely staff. Lovely room. Cant fault it. Cant wait to return again.

Made to feel very welcome right from the start with friendly, helpful staff who were also very professional. Standard of accomodation was excellent. The hotel itself was warm and inviting with an open fire in the hall and the views from the dining room were quite superb. Beautiful grounds which would make the hotel a stunning venue for a wedding. The quality of food and presentation were both excellent. Can't fault anything.
