Absolute bliss

Luv’d it, the house was everything and more than we all wished for. The house clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Our only regret was we didn’t book for a longer stay . We would definitely go back and would recommend staying here to anyone.

Mansfield House

Thought there might have been contact from the owners prior to our stay. Lovely old house but disappointed that we needed to wash all the crockery/cutlery before using as residue left on from previous use in dishwasher (?) Only one tea towel provided .. more would have been handy and there was no kitchen towel. Otherwise it was fine.

Relaxing getaway

We went for a catch up with friends and had a lovely break, the property has everything you would need and more and is very spacious. The village inn next door was perfect for not cooking and had a couple of meals here, the views are amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the area, would highly recommend

Why they chose this property

Oban and the gateway to the Islands is a little over an hour away, and Loch Lomond is only two miles away. But if the peace and serenity gets a bit too much, Glasgow is only a 45 minute drive away… what’s not to love?

In the heart of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, activities such as walking, climbing, golf, mountain biking, horse riding, fishing, sailing and various other watersports are on the doorstep, while the centre of Glasgow and its abundance of culture is only a 45 minute drive away.
The immediate area has a wealth of attractions, including Inveraray Castle , Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Hill House, the glorious gardens of Argyll & Bute, and the Glengoyne Whisky Distillery.
