    If you’re looking for somewhere truly special, this is it. This isn’t just a guesthouse, it’s a place that will stay in your heart long after you leave. Liz and Billy are exceptional hosts , so genuine, kind, and completely dedicated to making your stay perfect. They put so much love and care into every detail of The Shore House, and it really shines through in everything they do. The setting is breathtaking, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the hospitality is second to none. We feel incredibly lucky to have discovered this little gem. It’s more than just a place to stay, it’s a beautiful experience we’ll never forget♥️ And of course not forgetting Watson 🐶 . He’s an absolute sweetheart who loves a fuss and adds even more charm to the place. Just having him around makes it feel even more homely.

    We liked all aspects of the stay at the Shore House: the location, in front of the loch, close to Lochgoilhead (5 min walking along Great stay to the loch), very calm; the room, nicely renovated, super cosy with stunning views on the loch; the Scottish breakfast, tasty and giving you the energy for the day; and the owners, present when needed, giving good advices and letting you feel sincerely welcome. On top of this, Lochgoilhead is a cool place, not too crowdy, with nice trails around.

    Nothing we didn't like ....but would maybe recommend putting a slip mat in the shower :)

    The Shore House is stunning...beautiful rooms and very comfortable beds The views from our breakfast table were gorgeous. The hosts Liz & Billy were very friendly and made us feel welcome. They cook up an excellent Scottish breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed. Only a few minutes walk from the village if you fancy a stroll. We also enjoyed the live music at Shore House over the weekend...excellent singers. We would highly recommend this B&B.

    We didn't like leaving! Our next 3 hotels on our Scotland tour just did not compare to here in any way.

    We loved everything! The location and view from our bedroom was truly stunning! The welcome we received from Liz and Billy and the friendly service throughout was truly lovely. Breakfast was excellent and the pizza's were superb. As it was Easter weekend, the bar was busy with a lovely atmosphere and live music. We also had the pleasure of meeting the adorable and well behaved Watson! We are already planning to come back, we would buld our next trip to Scotland around staying here. I cannot praise this accomocation enough.

    Liz and Billy are the best B&B hosts I've had in all my travels, and that's saying something! They were incredibly warm, friendly, caring, and attentive. You can tell they truly care that you have a fantastic and relaxing stay. The restaurant view of the loch is priceless! The pizzas are incredible - we literally tried every available option while staying with them, so can say that with confidence. The breakfast is a hefty amount of homecooked food, which was a delicious way to start the day. Feeling so rejuvenated after a long weekend there. Will absolutely aim to return!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional hotel over the weekend,with my husband and I can honestly say it was the perfect escape for a much-needed break. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredible hosts, Liz and Billy, who truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. The bedroom was simply gorgeous, offering a blend of comfort and elegance. But what truly took our breath away were the stunning views. Whether it was from our bedroom or the dining room, the views were nothing short of a little taste of heaven. A heartfelt thanks to Liz and Billy for their unparalleled hospitality. Their genuine care and attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious getaway. Can't wait to return! Isabelle and Stuart

    Our stay at The Shore House Inn was wonderful. Our room had a lovely view of Loch Goil, and was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the cozy onsite pub, for a pizza and beer. Owners, Liz and Billy, were friendly and accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect. Finally, their dog Watson is a delight!

    I can’t think of anything i didn’t like. I would have liked if the woodburner was on to sit next to it in the evening with a drink but weather was unseasonably warm so i understand why it wouldn’t be on!

    The location and the views were fantastic The hosts were like old friends and staff helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The house was full of useful and tasteful things eg binoculars, books, paintings etc. Bed and pillows super comfortable and great coffee machine in the room along with extra blanket and heater if required. Breakfast was delicious with a great choice of hot and cold food.

    The road to the property could do with the potholes filling in. Unsure who owns the road though. I didn't expect or need room service as we were only staying 2 nights but fresh glasses would have been useful. We did ask for some and did get without any problems.

    Lovely welcoming hosts in Billy and Liz. Food for breakfast and pizzas in the evening were excellent. Locally sourced craft ale from Loch Fyne brewery was also well received. Very comfy bed. Will definitely go back.

    Location location location!! Great coffee, good bed and the loveliest of people Looking after us! Thank you all! We loved the community spirit in the village. Everybody looks out for one another and works together to give eachother’s guests a welcome. We rented a boat which was great to see the lake. Had pizza in the Shore House itself and had a good bar meal at the Goil Inn. Beautiful surroundings! Great Wifi! So much to do in the area. You can easily spend a week here! Great breakfast cooked with love and quality products. Nice communal areas to relax outside of your room.

    Could not fault it in any way.

    Amazing location and immaculately presented property and facilities. The comfort and privacy of the guest rooms was complemented by discrete access to a cosy bar area and great pizzas with views over the loch. The owners Billy and Liz are wonderful and made it feel a personal experience and the breakfasts with quality locally sourced ingredients set you up for a perfect day in a perfect location.
