The Edwards family welcome you to Thistle House Guest House, a beautiful spacious Victorian country house situated in a large pretty wooded garden, overlooking Loch Fyne to Inveraray and its famous castle. Our gardens have some special visitors which can be seen from both our public rooms and bedrooms.
Look out for our family of red squirrels and roe deer and keep a special watch out for the many seals in the loch at the front of the house. The house is also perfect for bird watching with both woodland and shore birds. We have just taken over Thistle House, which had been awarded a 4 star gold accreditation from visit Scotland.

From arrival to departure this was the perfect stay. The welcome was lovely - tea, coffee and cake was a bonus. Sue and Avril were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble throughout our 2 night stay. Great views, superb rooms - spotless and beautifully decorated. The breakfast - what a choice! And again perfect. I can’t think of anything that could be improved upon. This is the perfect base for exploring the area and there’s so much to see and so many places to go and eat on the evenings. Can’t wait to return - and it’s a certainty that we will.

Absolutely gorgeous. This is an awesome B&B run and owned by Sue and her sister-in-law Avril. We had a good sized room with a large en-suite and a large bed, all overlooking the Loch Fyne.
A stunning location, a supremely comfortable room and 2 ladies who ensure we wanted for absolutely nothing. This was by far the best place we stayed out of the 5 in our 15 day trip, by far!
Breakfast, well it was simply stunning. Set us up for the day and was so plentiful and so well cooked, tasty and freshly prepared. An awesome Fruit Salad? Hand made bread, eggs laid in the back garden.....the best breakfast

Before I stayed here I read several reviews that said the owners Sue and Avril couldn't have done more for their guests. I cannot emphasis enough just how true this is. They are the most accommodating and welcoming hosts I've ever met. The room we stayed in, Campbell room, had the most beautiful view onto the Loch. It was big and bright and the bed is so comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and caters for everyone's needs. I couldn't finish it this morning so what was left was wrapped for me for my onward journey. We spent a day in Inveraray and had dinner at the Creggans Inn. Which was a lovely
