Enveloped by two waterfalls and the fjord-like Loch Goil, this idyllic secluded getaway is the perfect cottage for those seeking an escape from the rhythm of everyday life. This dog-friendly homestay sleeps nine guests across five elegant bedrooms and boasts an elevated position in Loch Lomond for those long countryside walks, exhilarating outdoor activities and moseying along the crystal shores in this unique part of Scotland.
The decor of this holiday home comes with so much character, thanks to its colourful wallpapers, vibrant rugs and lively drapes. The property offers a fabulous blend of countryside traditionalism and contemporary fixtures while retaining a lot of the home's original charm. This rare mixture makes it well-designed for a group break or for those looking to celebrate a special occasion at the lochs.
On entering this sophisticated 19th-century cottage, you will find the elegant and generous utility and boot room, which provides a helpful space for damp coats muddy boots, and maybe a place to hide dog treats. Settle down in the first of two lounges, where unwinding with a glass of bubbles in an armchair facing the lochside views seems fitting after a long day of exploring your surroundings.
Children will be keen to escape the adults by diving into the second lounge, which boasts another TV, a selection of board games and a well-stocked library. Prepare family feasts in the colourful kitchen, which is fully equipped for culinary creations and includes a dishwasher. Share dishes around the table in the lavish dining room, where guests are free to gaze out over the loch while tucking into their neeps and tatties or slices of Dundee cake.
On chillier evenings, enjoy cosy nights in front of the roaring wood burner, while on balmier nights, the conservatory is the ideal spot from which to dive into a few pages of a newly released thriller.
A peaceful night's sleep comes easily in this Argyll cottage. Two king-size bedrooms overlook the glistening waters, one double bunk room, one twin room and a cosy single. All the bedrooms are decorated to a high standard, with crisp white bedding, colourful throws and pretty cushions.
Outdoors, the south-facing gardens are a real treat, with front-row seats to some of the finest sunsets in the area. Watch these over the horizon in the comfy seating area while the children of the group play on the lawn. On balmier afternoons, follow the pathways out of the property to join the Argyll Forest Park network, boasting a myriad of short and long-distance walking and cycling routes. Parking is available at the property and has space for six cars.
