Escape to the country and explore the heart of the Scottish countryside, staying in an unforgettable Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and soaking up the glorious rolling hills and vast lochs. A traditional property with plenty of comfortable bedrooms and space to unwind, this property is perfectly suited to a group of eight who are eager to explore Argyll and Bute. Once you’ve made the most of this secluded spot, catch a train from Taynuilt and take a day trip to Glasgow to experience Scotland’s eclectic city life.

A stunning Victorian house, this property has been maintained with plenty of charming original features including impressive fireplaces, ornate cornices and vast windows. The decor has been kept paired back and traditional, truly highlighting the beauty of the property itself. The spacious rooms of this generous accommodation have been painted in bright and cheerful colours, contributing to the overall light and welcoming atmosphere in this instant home-from-home.

Stop off in the main vestibule to shed wet coats and muddy boots after wild adventures in the great outdoors. A small utility room with washing machine is the perfect spot to store these items, leaving you fresh as a daisy to make yourselves at home. A traditional style kitchen is well equipped for feeding the masses here on the ground floor, featuring an electric Range oven to keep the room toasty. Pad downstairs for a late morning breakfast here in the kitchen or make full use of the dining room for relaxing family dinners. Settle down on an evening in one of two lounge areas, switching on the TV in the comfy lounge or enjoying a wee dram by the open fire in the sitting room.

When you head upstairs to bed, the first thing to look out for is the remarkable, far-reaching countryside views that grace the windows – a treat to wake up to each and every morning. Four spacious bedrooms have been lovingly decorated to provide comfortable accommodation for eight guests, ensuring you get the good night’s sleep you need to crack on with your holiday. Three bathrooms on the first floor ensure getting ready in the morning happens as smoothly as possible, with the luxury touch of a free-standing bath boasting a fabulous spot to soak after a tiresome day out.

Beautiful both inside and out, this property benefits from a beautifully landscaped garden, bustling with flowers and mature greenery. Surrounded by bright green fields and overlooking Loch Etive, this garden is the perfect spot to sip morning coffee or crack open an evening bottle of wine. Be sure to dine alfresco throughout the warmer months and follow the path to discover the spring and stream hidden beneath the bushes.

We stayed as family of 5 . Lovely old house in superb location just outside village. Gardens are lovely but a bit wild. House very well equipped and nice and warm in an unseasonably cool August!
