I will begin by laying my cards on the table - for the last 20 years I have avoided B+Bs and guest houses like the plague. This was after an absolutely awful experience in Brighton by a rather irritable B+B owner who seemed to think his guests were a terrible burden for him. When I booked Thistle House, I was... More

We only stayed for one night, unfortunately, but would love to stay again. The house is warm and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent. Jennifer was most friendly and welcoming and looked after us very well. Our room, which faced the Loch, had a wonderful view. More

We spent two nights at the Thistle House Guest House as part of a trip around the west of Scotland. Our stay here will always be memorable as we arrived having got engaged in the afternoon, and it did not disappoint as a first romantic spot as fiance and fiancee. The house itself is stunning from the outside and equally... More

My cousin and I from Australia stayed three nights at Thistle House Guest House, St Catherines. It is a wonderful place to stay, so peaceful with beautiful views, great rooms, delicious breakfasts and so well looked after by Jenifer and Alister. We were able to visit many places of interest in the area, including Inveraray Castle. All good. More

Had a really lovely stay here for 2 nights. The weather was not great, but we had a relaxing time sitting by the fire in the beautiful large lounge. The breakfast was fabulous, as were the views and the welcome from Jennifer and Alistair. Professionally run and good value for money. More

Lovelly located on the river of the Loch Fyne, close to the beautiful Inverarey town (I do recommend to visit the castle and the Auchindrain museum - the contrast is amazing), the beautiful house offers all what you can need : - beautiful room - nice salon (thanks for the firepace waiting for us by the end of this cloudy...

Had a very pleasant night at Thistle House - thank you very much Alastair & Jennifer. The scones and tea on arrival were delicious after our long drive. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious and breakfast just delicious. The lounge on our return after dinner in Inverary was much appreciated as we were a group of 5 travelling together... More

We recently stayed at Thistle House for four nights and really enjoyed it. The hotel is situated on the bank of Loch Fyne, directly opposite Inveraray. We had a very friendly welcome from Alastair and Jenifer who run the B&B and their hospitality throughout our stay was second to none - they went out of their way to help us... More

Just stayed here for 1 night as passing through. House and room were fabulous and gave you complete rest even for one day! Comfy lounge to use with books, dvds and glasses provided if you'd your own liquid!!! TV in room was clear so no snowyness. Enough information provided for the local area to visit and eat. Coffee and scones... More
