Spacious and Comfortable

“I absolutely loved the spaciousness of my room at Ardgowan Guest House. Not only was the bed incredibly comfortable, but the room also had a lovely old-world charm that made me feel right at home. The large windows offered great natural light, and I enjoyed cozying up in the room after a long day of exploring.” view full review

Clean and Modern

“The bathroom was a pleasant surprise! It was close by and well-equipped with excellent facilities. I really appreciated the hot shower that felt luxurious after a full day of sightseeing. It's great to have a dedicated bathroom that ensured my privacy, along with the convenience of clean, fresh towels and toiletries provided.” view full review

Cozy TV Setup

“One of my favorite evenings at Ardgowan was spent unwinding in my room while watching TV. After a busy day, it was the perfect way to relax. The room had a cozy setup with a TV, and it truly felt like a home away from home as I kicked back and enjoyed some light entertainment.” view full review

Charming Ambiance

“The bedroom itself captured my heart with its charming ambiance. I slept incredibly well because of the comfortable bedding and the unique decor that added character. The high ceilings created an airy feel, and the soothing atmosphere was perfect for resting up before another day of adventuring. I can't wait to return!” view full review
