Peaceful Place

We enjoyed a 3 night stay in late September. What fabulous views from the window and front garden! Easy walks on the doorstep and abundance of wildlife. Such a tranquil spot. Also handy for a visit to Portavadie. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Hope to revisit.

Compact with beautiful view and beach access

Loved the location but could have done with a diagram to find it. Tv was in an odd spot for the seating arrangement. Small kitchen but fully equipped and good outside space for chilling.

Highly recommended

We had a lovely time at Kames View. The apartment is cosy and has fantastic views. The neighbours are very friendly. It has a peaceful location but is close to amenities. The road in front is quiet and the beach is perfect for young children to play. There are many fantastic walks nearby. We hope to return in the near future.

Great location and very comfortable

Small property but has everything you need. Very comfortable and ideal location for exploring the area. 10 minutes from Portavadie ferry across to Tarbert which opens up a further great area for exploring. Log fire in the living room which was a real bonus for us.
