Croot's Hoose

Situated on a quiet street within walking distance of Kirn village, this large three-storey Victorian property is perfect for groups of guests who love the great outdoors, with the spectacular Cowal peninsula and the Argyll countryside in reach. Sleeping up to 24 guests very comfortably across ten bedrooms, it’s a wonderful place to mark a special occasion or simply to gather and enjoy all that this bonnie region has to offer.

Step inside this traditional country-style home, which is set back from the road. You’ll love the house features, from the high ceilings and dark wood panelling to parquet floors. There’s a choice of three spacious sitting rooms so everyone can find their favourite neuk, whether that’s with a favourite book or caught up in fun banter with your group. Culinary guests will appreciate the kitchen which offers a Range cooker and a separate, well-equipped pantry - fantastic for catering needs. There’s also an impressive dining room overlooking the pretty garden which can be set up for everyone to come together and enjoy memorable family meals.

Step inside where a warm welcome awaits guests for the most relaxing of holiday breaks. Unwind in the drawing room by the gas coal fire and Smart TV with Freesat. Enjoy a favourite book in the snug which has a warming multi fuel fire and TV. There’s also a more spacious area for you all to gather in the family living room where there’s a further gas fire and TV.

Prepare delicious feasts in the well-equipped kitchen, source ingredients from the convenient pantry, and serve dinner in the spacious dining room. There’s also a bathroom and a laundry room on the ground floor.

Unwind in the living room and enjoy TV time, where there’s a gas fire, or catch up on a favourite book away from the crowd in the separate TV snug where there’s a multi fuel fire to stay toasty.

After long days out, the bedrooms are a real treat; nine of the ten rooms are en-suite and made for cosy slumbers. On the first floor there’s a twin en-suite, a single bedroom, a family bedroom en-suite, a double bedroom en-suite, and a family bathroom.

The second floor has a family bedroom en-suite, two double bedrooms with en-suites, and a stylish suite with its own sitting room, sofa bed and en-suite.

The third floor has two twin bedrooms, each with an en-suite.
