Gariob Beag is about 7 miles west of Lochgilphead in Argyll - an old stone threshing-barn which has been excellently converted and comfortably furnished to make a truly delightful holiday cottage which you will hate to leave at the end of your stay. Standing detached, on a hillock, in its own spacious garden (which features the now grassy mound of the old horse-gang where horses circled continuously to grind corn in the olden days), it graces an area already known for its outstanding natural beauty - just 4 miles from Crinan and 6 miles from Tayvallich, with views of the outstandingly lovely West Coast countryside which borders Loch Sween.

Visitors comment on the peace and quiet at the cottage and it is a paradise for nature-lovers who can walk, bike or drive the many small roads and paths that wind through the sometimes forested, sometimes rocky hills towering above the stunning coastline and Historic Scotland cares for all the ruined castles, chapels, ancient crosses and standing-stones dating from pre-historic times which are a fascination for historians of all ages.

Birdwatchers will spot ospreys, even golden eagles, patrolling the skies and enjoy the cheeky bullfinches and many other small birds who swoop on the fruit trees in the owners' nearby garden... (he never gets any fruit)! There is horse-riding, golf, several good restaurants and superb white sands within a 15-mile radius.

Heating by electric central-heating (INCLUDED) and wood-burning stove (supply of logs INCLUDED). Bed-linen and towels are INCLUDED. Pets by arrangement. Smoking is not allowed within the house. We regret, children are not allowed.

Eckersley Party, Dumfries-shire 31/10/2009

I would like to say a big thank you to you for our stay in Gariob Beag. My husband, the two dogs and myself found the cottage to be of a very high standard and thoroughly enjoyed our time there, coming home a lot more relaxed than when we arrived!

Barker party, Lancashire 26/07/2008

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage in such a beautiful area. Very peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

 

McNab party, Bolton 25/04/2009

Gariob Beag on our second visit was once again a delight, as was the welcome from the owner.

 

Shaw party, Manchester 30/05/2009

This cottage was faultless. The owners could not have been more helpful. We had a perfect holiday.

 

Browne Party, Gloucestershire 26/09/2009

It was quite the loveliest cottage we have ever rented and exceeded our expectations, the owner was most helpful. The reports in the 3 volumes of visitors books speak for themselves. We hope to return, and next time maybe see the beaver - like the lucky fellow who was there the week before us and saw them on no less than 4 nights!!

 

Wilson party, Banffshire 09/04/2011

We were delighted with this property, your description was spot on and service first class. The owner had left eggs, a bottle of wine and fresh flowers to welcome us. It was exceptionally clean, warm and well set up. Angus contacted us, but was never obtrusive, we are usually a bit wary of cottages in the owner's grounds, but had no issues with this one. We often say that we would go back to an area, but this is a cottage that we would actually book again. The quiet situation, but accessibility to the main road was great. We enjoyed being able to go on a different walk within the local forestry on every day of our visit, the dog had a great time and we enjoyed being able to go beaver spotting too.
