Allistair and Jenifer are the most wonderful hosts and the B&B was so warm and inviting. We really loved our stay there and they went so far out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. I definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling around Scotland. The house itself and the view are spectacular as well. Baker-Perlitz... more

As of three months ago, Thistle House has new owners, Alistair and Jenifer, who made our stay extremely enjoyable. Our suite was beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. The lounge is large and comfortable, with a fireplace and plenty of reading material. The house sits on a hillside overlooking Loch Fyne and the town of Inverary across the way. We had... more

We chose to have our wedding at the Thistle House and cannot recommend it highly enough. Most of our guests were able to stay on-site in the beautiful rooms. A few stayed at a nearby hotel which was recommended by the owners of the Thistle House. The owners of the thistle house went far beyond what you would expect from... more

We spent two nights at this lovely B&B we had a room which over looked Loch Fyne with views of Inverary Castle. The room was lovely, big and very clean. Yvonne made a reservation at the Inver Cottage - one of the best dinners on our trip. Breakfast was very good, Yvonne made a special effort for me as I... more

This charming B&B is just beautiful. If you are looking for that peaceful rare find this is the place. We stayed for 2 days. Our room looked out over Loch Fyne with views of Inverary Castle. Yvonne was so nice. She was even nice enough to make us a dinner reservation at Inver Cottage, where we had a wonderful well... more

We stayed here for one night prior to going over to the Connect festival in Inveraray. The hotel was absolutely stunning, spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. The bedroom was beautifully decorated with lots of nice touches (like a bottle of water and pretty throws and cushions). We enjoyed exploring the rest of the house, the guest lounge in particular was... more

I am writing this review slightly after staying at Thistle House. Our party hired the whole house with the exception of one room. Our experience echos everyone elses and certainly not the lone "bad" review posted. Paul & Yvonne could not have been more helpful. They provided delcious canapes & champagne for our arrival. The rooms were splendid and were... more

This place is rubbish, I stayed here the other week and you're basically stranded, the owners won't drive you the four mins up the road to a decent boozer, even if you offer to pay them, there are no cabs to take you there, I left my passport behind by accident and they got the hump when I rang up... more

Management response from
thistlehouse, Owner

We are really disappointed that this guest did not enjoy his stay with us as we pride ourselves in providing that extra service whenever possible. There is a choice of cab service which we provided to this guest and although he claims that the taxi service was not available we were not asked to taxi this guest anywhere. We are...

We recently stayed for 2 nights at Thistle House. It is a beautifully appointed house, out bedroom was large and very comfortable and the guest lounge is a great place to relax. Ideally located to explore Inverary and being right on the loch the views are amazing. The hosts were very welcoming and provided good tips on where to eat... more
