Excellent hosts

Everything! I travel a lot and this is a place I would definitely return to.

Nothing.

Location, cleanliness, facilities

Bathroom separate from bedroom, its not clear in the description you need to leave the bedroom to get to the bathroom next door.

Attention to detail was exceptional. Far better than a 5 star hotel but with a personal approach. From being greeted with a warm welcome to beautiful breakfast. I have dietary requirements, which not only did they cater to extensively but small homemade GF cakes were just beautiful and food knowledge. Stunningly decorated home and gardens. There is nothing they haven't thought of. Exceptionally comfortable bed, things like having a choice of pillow types (from down to regular) made it even better. Many additional features to make your stay extra special. Will return to Campeltown specifically to stay here (and try out the roll top bath). Loved meeting their beautiful dog (normally lives is separate part of their home).

Not having booked a second night.

John was an excellent host! Very communicative via email leading up to our stay, as well as during our stay. The accommodations were excellent, and his service was fantastic. I true Bed & Breakfast experience. Our family of three had the full ground level of the B&B to our disposal. Two large bedrooms, with a large living room/dining space, and large bathroom especially for Europe standards. John and his family live in the upper levels of the residence and were available to us most any time of the day, if it was needed. Yet, they left us alone to have our time to ourselves. We stayed 3 nights/4 days and ordered breakfast each night for the following morning. Continental and full breakfast experience was available and John served our every needs and dietary requests. We had distillery tours each day, but John gave us great suggestions to fill our schedules for the remaining time of our days. If we visit Campbeltown again, we will most definitely return to Gowanlea's Heights B&B!

We lacked nothing for our stay, so I cannot think of any improvement that is needed.

We absolutely loved our stay at Gowanlea. The hosts were amazing and so friendly. John greeted us on arrival and showed us around the very extensive accommodations of which we had exclusive use. Both bedrooms were massive and extremely comfortable. They had everything in the rooms from tea/coffee making facilities with loads of biscuits to even bathrobes and slippers in the wardrobe. Not what you would expect in a B&B. There was a massive bathroom with a bathtub and shower which was also well stocked for guest use. Bath salts, bubble bath, lovely soaps and even sanitary products. Again there was a lot of thought and attention put into what any guest may need and more. John then gave us a tour of the living room/dining area which was also very big. He had kindly laid out some lovely fresh cake for our arrival and shown us the extensively stocked breakfast area and advised us to help ourselves at anytime during our stay. There were loads of snacks available from crisps, cakes, biscuits, pastries with healthier options. To be honest there was so much laid on for guests that it would take forever to tell you everything. After being out for dinner we spent the evening watching TV and playing games which were also available for guest use. Even the TV had Netflix in the living area and both guest rooms as well as an APP with loads of movies to choose from. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic. We opted for a cooked breakfast which also exceeded our expectations. Normally you get one of each item but John and Dave certainly did not hold back with food, it was a big breakfast. You could also help yourself to cereal, fruit, yoghurts, pastries etc but after the cooked breakfast we were more than full. As a dog lover the highlight of our stay was meeting Gino the dog, he was absolutely beautiful and such a friendly big dog. To have Gino greet us in the morning was a delight. I just wish we could have stayed longer and highly recommend...

There was nothing we did not like.

Space, comfort, cleanliness and home comforts. A warm welcome with homemade cake!

Wonderful host for my very short stay

I can see why the reviews are so excellent! What a fabulous stay, made to feel extremely welcome and the best facilities of any hotel or B&B I’ve stayed in. Can’t recommend enough

A perfect stay at the Gowanlea Heights. Fantastic hosts, very welcoming. Everything has been thought of and there are lots of great little touches so you've everything you need. Breakfast was brilliant and we were expertly catered for. A great selection of TV options/films were available. Rooms very private, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Communication from the hosts beforehand was excellent. Would definitely stay again if in Campbeltown. Thank you!

There wasn't anything not to like. Stunning property, high quality furnishings and services. The excellent breakfasts were tailored to my request and the availability of a huge range of snacks and juices throughout the day just adds the amazing experience of staying here. The availability of the lounge for use throughout stay was also great. Fabulous hospitality from hosts

Loved absolutely everything. The host is so friendly and welcoming. Really comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Lovely welcoming treats. Made to feel right at home. Amazing breakfast. I can not recommend highly enough. By far the best bnb we have stayed at. And I fell on love with the dogo!

Nothing not to like.

Everything. It simply couldn’t have been better.

Nothing!

Everything that an independent B&B should be. Welcoming, not stingy with extras such as good coffee and plentiful biscuits and mini chocolate bars in room. Decorative standards are high (as are the ceilings) and breakfast was among the best I’ve had. A delight.

Genial host. Beautifully cooked breakfast, comfy bed & easy to use shower. Large TV lounge for exclusive use of the 2 or 4 guests in the party. Plenty of local guides to browse as well.

Strong spring on bedroom door needs adjusting, otherwise perfect.

Gowanlea is a home from home, the property is beautiful, the rooms are so comfortable… the extras provided are exceptional… teas, coffees, snacks in the lounge and in the bedrooms… we even had cake left for us one day (which was delicious). The hosts go above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was lovely, good selection (also had extras as well as what was ordered) parking at rear of property is an added bonus. Good location.

The property was highly accessible and comfortable. The house had many decorations to make us feel included and at home. The house even had a fireplace that warmed us up during the chilly nights. The television had many channels including Netflix that enabled us to enjoy a variety of movies and films. The place was also great for avid readers as there were books and infographics about Scotland and it’s history .

Nil. Everything was perfect! :)

Gowanlea Heights is extremely well positioned in a quiet area just outside the the town centre of Campbeltown making it peaceful and very convenient for all amenities. John and David (proprietors) made us feel extremely welcome from the outset. We were met with a friendly smile and warming welcome. John showed us around the property which was clean, well furnished and comfortable. A nice touch was the availability of drinks and snacks in the living room which you could help yourself to. Of particular use was the provided web information, recommending local restaurants and places of interest. Breakfast was absolutely superb, a large selection of food available to cater for all tastes. Although we chose to eat out in the evening, there was also the option of purchasing and eating takeaway food with the guest house, with crockery and cutlery provided. Parking is provided at the rear of the property.

The only thing, I could possibly make comment on with this section, is that the bedroom door closer had a little quirk to.

Absolutely fantastic stay, from great breakfast to really comfortable beds. Will definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

Nothing to dislike!

Everything was quality. Great parking, lots of room and everything had been given much attention to detail. The breakfast was exceptional.

Nothing

This is the most wonderful Bed & Breakfast. I can not recommend it enough, the hosts are exceptional and the bedrooms and living room are a delight. I have never felt so at home and welcome as I did at Gowanlea.

Nothing, it was all exceptional

This was the most valuable and luxurious staying I've ever experienced. Especially I really loved the breakfast. I don't have enough vocabularies to explain how it was so delicious. Also many notes made us happier because foreign tourists (like us) don't much know about etiquettes in the UK.

None

Great, the best we ever stayed

Breakfast excellent. Every need was anticipated.

I won't be original when I say that everything was fantastic. But it was exactly like that. Good and easy to find location, really clean rooms, tasty breakfast.

nothing, everything was perfect

Excellent accommodation and perfect hosts. Very friendly with the most generous supply of cakes, biscuits, crisps and more all included 😀 Amazing breakfast which included real honey from their beehive in their back garden. Do not hesitate to stay here you will not be disappointed !!

Nothing !

This was a b and b that really went the extra mile. The property was characterful, the host extremely helpful, it seemed that everything had been thought of and provided to make our stay a comfortable and enjoyable one. Lots of nibbles were made available. Very welcome for two hungry cyclists!

Nothing!
