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.

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.

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

Clear directions to this lovely guest house would have been helpful but, once there, we found it really good! The Campbell Room had a wonderful view across the loch to Inveraray Castle, seat of the Campbell Clan - well, it would have been wonderful if not for the rain and mist... A warm welcome of tea and scones in the... More

Stayed for 2 nights on our way up the west coast. Beautiful position on the edge of the loch with wonderful views across to Inveraray. Stayed in the Campbell room at the top of the house which had great views across the loch. Spotlessly clean throughout and traditionally decorated this is a lovely house and the hosts Jenifer and Alistair... More
