Lovely house in beautiful location, very comfortable & well equipped. We were blessed with lovely weather so the family were able to enjoy walking the Cowal Way including the waterfalls & wild swimming in the lochan. Kayaked & swam in Loch Goil around Carrick Castle - idyllic! (saw porpoises & a big scary bull seal) Grandson hired a mountain bike & cycled the forestry trails. Visited Inveraray Castle & the whisky shop, fish banquet from Loch Fyne, less able visited Kilmun & Dunoon while the others climbed The Cobbler / Ben Arthur from Arrochar. A good time was had by all!!

Lovely find in a beautiful spot
Held a reunion here. Newly completed second bathroom was ideal.
Relaxed environment and plenty of space for us to hang out. Liked having a couple of sitting rooms for reading or watching the view. Easy to take a walk - track to lochan was easy to find. Good base for visiting inverary and tarbert easy to reach. Local pub and shop walkable.

A great getaway
Booked the house for a wee reunion of a few old friends. The house was beautiful, with plenty of firewood and comfy beds. Was very sad to leave, but would definitely go back!

Casa impresionante en el corazón de Escocia
La casa es simplemente espectacular. Desde el primer momento te sientes como en casa ya que dispone de todo lo necesario para hacer tu estancia agradable. La cocina está perfectamente equipada. Hay multitud de juegos de mesa para entretenimiento tanto de niños como de adultos. La casa dispone de dos salones enormes, ambos con televisión, lo que hace que sea tremendamente cómoda para separar las tardes de niños y adultos.
La situación es perfecta, pasenado se llega al lago Goil que está justo enfrente de la casa y que hace que la misma tenga unas vistas espectaculares.
Es un punto perfecto para recorrer la zona y disfrutar de la maravilla que es el Loch Lomond y sus alrededores.

Fantastic spacious house in a beautiful location for an extended family holiday.
Great location on the edge of Lochgoilhead just a short walk into the village. We had booked it for a three generation short break. Bedroom on the ground floor was great for Granny and Granpa and youngest loved the top floor rooms with the stunning views. The two big living rooms meant we could all spread out if we wanted though the big living room on the first floor had loads of room for all of us. The weather was beautiful when we were there so spent quite a lot of time relaxing in the beautiful garden and even managed to use the barbecue one evening. Kitchen was very well equiped again with plenty of space. Some of us managed a long walk up to the falls, some went cycling and some a trip to Inverary. We only wished we had looking into booking kayaks and canoes in advance because there were none available on the day we wanted. All in all everyone enjoyed there stay and would definitely visit again.

This was a lovely spacious house which accommodated my family with plenty room ages from 2-80yrs.My only complaint was for a three story house all the bathrooms were on the ground level,we had a small issue with the shower and bath but the housekeeper did everything in her power to rectify the problem.Beautiful location and views were breathtaking,a great getaway.

Thank you Linda or your positive review. Pleased you enjoyed your stay. The plan is for another shower room to be put on another floor (not before 2019) but in the meantime we make it clear that the facilities are on the ground floor. The web description will be updated of any change of facilities. Regards: Leonard

Perfect house in perfect location to disconnect from the city
We were very pleased to stay in Lettermay house, the location is perfect, near to the Lochgoilhead lake. The vue from the top rooms on the lake is amazing. You can have nice walks around the lake with stunning views. The house is perfect for a family, even with 2 living rooms and fireplaces that makes the atmosphere very cosy!
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook. Everything was in order and really clean. And cherry on the cake , Leonard gave us all the help we needed! We will definitively come back again!

Wonderful house in a stunning location
We spent a weekend in November in this fantastic house in beautiful Lochgoilhead. The house was so cosy and comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed. The views from the house are simply stunning - right across the loch to the mountains - so we could easily have spent all weekend sitting looking out the windows! There are some fabulous local walks - lots of paths and roads to explore and it is an excellent area for cycling. I would thoroughly recommend staying here - we did not want to leave and will definitely be back soon!
