  • Surrounded by breathtaking scenery and lush green countryside
  • Charming wood burner perfect for cosy evenings in
  • Impressive decked balcony with magnificent views overlooking a loch
Property code: CA113

With two twin bedrooms, this is a wonderful escape for friends and family of all ages. The split-level cottage has a charming and homely feel, with exposed beams, wooden details and soft furnishings. You’ll find it located at the end of a private track overlooking a small loch, with a decked balcony boasting views across to the village of Cairnbaan.

From the large entrance porch, go down three steps into the spacious, double height open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where French doors onto the balcony help flood the room with light. At night, it turns into a cosy haven when the wood burner is lit – the perfect place to relax after a day of exploration. Catch up on the day’s adventures over a delicious dinner cooked in the fully-equipped kitchen, before heading up the three further steps to the Super-King and Twin bedrooms, where a peaceful night’s sleep awaits.

Enjoy evening drinks or al fresco dining on the large balcony, taking in the incredible views over this wonderful part of Scotland. From here, you’ll see almost nothing but green hills and trees, lochs, and nature for miles – the ideal spot to get away from everyday life. A nearby path leads through the woods to the nearby hotel for tasty local scran, while a steep path leads from the cottage down to the loch which was once the site of a 19th-century slate quarry.

Wildlife abounds in this lesser-known natural landscape, with every chance of spotting roe deer, red squirrels, pine marten, and many varieties of birds during your stay. From the loch, climb the heather-clad hill opposite for impressive views along the Crinan Canal and towards the sea. Wander the towpath of the canal - described as Britain's most beautiful shortcut - which is excellent for keen walkers and cyclists. Head 6.5 miles to the sheltered sandy bay of Crinan Ferry Beach, located at the mouth of the River Add. From here, enjoy lovely views across to the 12th-century Duntrune Castle (also 6.5 miles), which is surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada. Discover more history at the Neolithic and Bronze Age remains in Kilmartin Glen (6 miles), with a multitude of cairns, standing stones, stone circles, forts and castles to see and explore. For those wanting to get closer to nature, charter a boat from the nearby Crinan Harbour (5.5 miles) for a day of fishing, wildlife watching and island hopping, or venture further to the famous Gulf of Corryvreckan with its whirlpools and standing waves; here you have every chance of spotting eagles, dolphins or whales. For shops, restaurants and even a nine-hole golf course, head to nearby Lochgilphead town, just 3 miles from the cottage.

Absolutely stunning location and view , worth every penny to wake up too ! You need to have a good big / truck car to get up the path way and there is no WiFi but I liked that. The bothy is so cozy and well equipped with appliances and the shower in the main bedroom is fabulous after a days walking , will definitely be back

A lovely warm cottage. Great to have comfortable seating and bed. A wonderful view across the valley. Endless bird life to the feeder we put out. Peace and quiet in bucket loads. No good if youve got a sports car as the track up is rough. A short walk to the Crinan canal. Good shops in Lochgilphead. Excellent wet fish shop and butchers there.

A fantastic stay here, perfect location for many activities from forest walks, mountain biking, wildlife watching, the cottage has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay, lack of street lights makes for fantastic star gazing and we got a great view of the Perseid Meteor Shower, even had visits from a Red Squirrel.

Very comfortable and spacious cottage. Good value for money. Spectacular views and if you are lucky enough to get the sun it shines on the decking until 9pm in the summer.
