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.

Absolutely outstanding in every possible way. A huge, comfortable, private lounge and two lovely bedrooms. Excellent bathroom and shower. Massive choice of snacks and drinks, homemade cake, delicious breakfast. So much attention to detail - local guidebooks, toiletries, fluffy towels, lots of helpful recommendations. By far the best value for money and most luxurious place we stayed on our whole trip to Scotland. Our Springbank distillery visit was great too. Lots to explore in the area. If you are lucky enough to find availability at Gowanlea Heights, don't hesitate - book now and you won't regret it.

Wouldn't change anything.

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.

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.

We stayed here overnight as part of a 4 person golf trip. Attention to detail in everything was amazing. The small things such as food and drinks to go were great and kept us fueled during a grueling round of golf at Machrihanish. This is a great base for a trip a golf trip of going to Carradale, Dunaverty or Machrihanish. The breakfast was exceptional; We had a full menu to choose from for our breakfast with different options. As far as Scottish breakfasts go this was up their with the best we have had.

I arrived in Campbeltown on the Citylink bus from Kennacraig and was able to drop my bags off and check in very shortly after arriving which was great. The property was more of a ground floor apartment with bedroom, hallway, lounge and bathroom. The facilities were great and rooms well stocked. Continental breakfast was available around the clock, as were a wide range of soft and hot drinks, and chocolate bars. The lounge was great for chilling out in and there were a wide range of books and digital media available. The bedroom was equally well stocked with drinks and snacks. The bed was very comfy, and whole room was very spacious. There was also an Alexa which provided additional entertainment. The bathroom was spacious and very clean. There was a spacious car park around the back too, though I didnt use it. Piping hot cooked breakfast was served each morning between 8 and 830am, based on choices supplied the previous evening. The location was a little out from the centre of Campbeltown, but no more than 5-10 minutes walk. The Ardshiel Hotel was nearby and served good evening meals and had an amazingly well stock malt whisky bar. By far the best place to eat though was No 42 on the High St. As the property was a little out from the town centre, it was perfect for walking down to Davaar Island, about 30 minutes to the start of the causeway by foot, and another 20 minutes across the causeway. The cave is well worth seeing but do take care on the rocks heading to the caves as they could be a very slippery. On departure, I was able to leave my bags at the property for a bit longer while I waited in town for my bus. All in all, a unique experience and relaxing break, thanks!

Such a short trip :) Everything about the property was great and Id thoroughly recommend it. I did find the shower a little on the small side, particularly to get in and out of, but thats due to me being rather large. Once inside, the water as lovely and hot.

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!

Everything! Spotlessly clean. Very welcoming and informative host. Loved the fact we had the entire downstairs to ourselves. Comfy bed. Fantastic breakfast which we could hardly finish but were determined to 😄 Fantastic location. Bonus points for the standalone bath, bathrobe, slippers and complimentary toiletries 😄😄 Huge bonus points for the selection of snacks and drinks which were quickly replenished 😃

Nothing! Absolutely everything was just superb.

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

Everything was above expectations, Breakfast was superb, rooms were spotless and comfortable and the location was within five minutes of everything we required. We enjoyed the freedom to come and go as we pleased with no pressure from the hosts and basically treat the place as our own during our stay. Provisions supplied were the best I have ever seen in a guest house and we were free to eat and drink anything we wanted from these provisions.

No complaints whatsoever, fabulous stay.
