Craignure Reviews

Arlene

What an absolutely beautiful property with the most gorgeous views. Craignure was so comfortable with everything you need at hand. The master suite bed was fantastic as was the shower and kitchen had everything you can think of. Sitting in the hot tub watching the sun go down was spectacular. An absolute credit to the owners and great communication. Can't recommend this property highly enough definitely our favourite

Detlef

You simply cannot get more out of this location. Absolutely impressive. After three relaxing weeks, we return home feeling refreshed and are certain that we will see each other again next year.

We stayed for just three nights but thoroughly every moment. The cottage had everything we could ask for stunning views, a fabulous hot tub, and all the comforts of home. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We hopefully will return. Thank you!

Stacey

We had a wonderful week at Craignure. The house was absolutely lovely, beautifully decorated and furnished to a very high standard. It was also exceptionally well equipped, one of the best weve stayed in. We enjoyed using the hot tub most evenings, it was a real treat to relax under the stars. There are plenty of beautiful walks nearby for the dog, and the sea views are stunning. We were fortunate to have good weather for most of the week, which was an added bonus. Paul and Ashleigh were excellent hosts, easy to contact if needed and thoughtful enough to leave a lovely welcome basket. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

Alison

Very clean and comfortable property with everything that we needed for a very relaxing week in Gardenstown. Great location with beach walks on the doorstep, and a friendly pub just 5 minutes walk away, serving good food. Craignure welcomes dogs too. There are views over the harbour and out to sea from the open plan sitting area, and the small balcony off the second sitting area. The hot tub was a real favourite and we used it every day of our stay, even in the rain! We hope to return sometime soon.

Michelle

The property really is 2nd to none, we were truly blown away to be honest, from the stunning views, the quiet, the fixtures and fittings and the layout of the place to take advantage of the relaxing views. It was that good we were sad to leave. In all fairness, although the Internet pictures are extremely accurate, they still don't do the place enough justice, you have to be there to appreciate just how gorgeous it is!

The best place to relax!

Alexandra

Beautiful property. Outstanding views. Loved every minute

Sharron

Great place everything we needed and fabulous views defo be back

Alison

Craignure was a fantastic property in idyllic location with tremendous views. The property was spotlessly clean and everything provided was of good quality. The hot tub was a great bonus and certainly contributed to a great relaxing weeks holiday. Highly recommend.

It was faultless, the owners had thought of everything

This is by far the best holiday home we have stayed in. It is spacious, very modern and tastefully decorated. The views from the picture windows and balconies overlooking the sea and harbour are fabulous and kept us entertained watching the comings and goings of the boats. Everything about the house is luxurious and thoughtful. So much so, that we have already booked again for next year.

Andrea

We had a wonderful stay at Craignure, initially booked for 4 nights but decided to stay an extra night as we didn't want to leave! House is very comfortable and has beautiful views across the bays. Lovely to sit in the hot tub in the evenings, we were lucky enough to see a shooting star on our last night, just beautiful. Everything was spotlessly clean and beds very comfy. Gardenstown is a lovely village, loved the walk to Crovie and the local pub serves up delicious food. Thank you to our hosts for a five star experience, we will definitely be back someday!

Philip

The best place we have stayed in by far. Everything was top class. Paul and Ashley have thought of everything. The views from the balcony and the terrace are fantastic. Sat in the hot tub watching the sun go down beautiful. Thank you both.

Well what can we say, without doubt the best holiday cottageapartment that we've ever stayed in, and we've had a few. The views are amazing and a special thankyou to Paul and Ashley for changing the quilt, it really did make a difference for me. Well definitely be back as we've fallen in love with the place. Thanks Dave and Karlene.

Alastair

All mod cons and THE most comfortable super king bed! Fantastic views from upstairs windows and also from the hot tub. Everything we needed was provided and we loved our stay .

Really enjoyed both the property and the location. At first glance Gardenstown looked to be a bit of a challenge for access and parking and to be fair the roads are a little tight, but you very quickly get used to them and are driving and parking like a local in no time! A very clean and well equipped Craignure cleverly makes use of the space that it has and is well placed to show off its greatest attribute, Gardenstown Harbour. Not joking, we properly enjoying relaxing on the high balcony watching the little ships ply their trade and then a dip in the hot tub as the sun went down. Craignure is fabulous value for money. Top accommodation at a reasonable price and hosts Paul and Ashley always at hand if you need help with anything. Gardenstown and its neighbour Crovie are really special, little fishing villages highlighting the difference between how things once were and how they are now. Go see.

This is a lovely well equipped cottage, in a beautiful location. The views were spectacular from every window! The cottage had very good quality fixtures and finishings and has been very carefully thought out so it is really easy to live in. Very clean and well maintained. The owners were lovely and friendly too. Our family 2 wee girls loved it here and would really recommend highly. Thank you!

Beautiful house with spectacular views We will definitely book again

Graham

Excellent value for money.

Our stay at Craignure was wonderful. The cottage was clean, cosy and everything was provided to a high standard. The views from the cottage were absolutely stunning & it was so lovely to sit by the window in the morning and see the sunrise over the sea. The hot tub was the perfect addition and we couldnt have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for an amazing stay.

The cottage was beautiful, very clean and furnished to a very high standard. Excellent amount of crockery and cooking utensils. The outdoor area was very good and we made good use of the lovely hot tub.

Sharon

A truly perfect cottage in a spectacular place. We loved every minute and will be back.

What a beautiful place this is! The views over the harbour and out to sea are absolutely amazing. Beautifully presented, comfortable with everything you need for a week of pure relaxation. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus especially after a busy day of exploring this area of outstanding beauty. We simply didn't want to leave! Highly recommended!

Spent Christmas at Craignure and it was truly magical! The house was immaculate, had everything you could possibly need and finished to a very high standard. The hosts Ashley & Paul were fantastic, so welcoming and friendly. The view, the hot tub, the Christmas decorations and all the little touches made this a Christmas to remember. Despite Gardenstown being 13hrs from home we are already planning our return trip.

Absolutely lovely property. Well thought out, equipped to a very high standard. Had everything you could need for a relaxed break away. Nicely furnished and the hot tub was fantastic with a great view. Christmas decorations were a very nice touch. Excellent accommodation would highly recommend it to friends and family.

A Stunning Seaside Retreat I recently had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful apartment, and I can't recommend it highly enough! The apartment itself is spacious, wellappointed, and incredibly comfortable. One of the standout features is the breathtaking sea view waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of the horizon was truly magical. The balcony was the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets. The location is fantastic, nestled in a lovely area by the seaside. There are charming shops, delightful restaurants, and plenty of opportunities for beach activities just a short stroll away. Overall, this apartment exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to return. If you're looking for a serene getaway with stunning views, this is the place to be!

Had a great time. Loved the property. Cosy and homely especially with the winter storms that we experienced. Great views from the property and the hot tub. Easy access to walks, beach, pub and cafe. Locals very friendly and welcoming. Definitely be back.

Robert

What a tonic! This was wonderful accommodation in the beautiful village of Gardenstown. The cottage was beautifully appointed with very comfortable beds so lovely to have a super king bed in the master bedroom, high quality furnishings and fabulous recliner chairs. The nautical theme running through the house was just lovely. The views were just spectacular, both indoors and out. We were extremely lucky to be able to see the Northern Lights from the hot tub! Ashley and Paul were fabulous hosts so welcoming and helpful. This is a real gem of a holiday cottage. We had such a restful break and we cant wait to go back. Thank you.

Amanda

The property was perfect, everything you could need was provided, enjoyed everything about gardenstown, would book and stay again. Hottub was fantastic.

Thomas

Fantastic stay, lovely house with great amenities. I love the fact it's out of the way in a small village. Great views of the harbour and sea.
