A charming, cosy lodge for four guests and their two contented canines in Lochgilphead in Central Scotland. This characterful holiday home has superb views across the head of the loch, as well as a lovely decking for your morning coffee, a BBQ for afternoon feasts and many nearby destinations for walks, fishing and birdwatching.
Step into your charming lodge, where you’ll discover a welcoming lounge/diner. Floor-to-ceiling windows accentuate the far-reaching mountain views, as well as flood the space with light for catching up on some reading or relaxing with your guests. Calming decor continues through to the kitchen, where you’ll find all the appliances needed to create a meal, before carrying your plates to the indoor table or out to the garden, where you can enjoy the views while you dine. Alternatively, fire up the BBQ and spend the whole afternoon basking in the sunshine. Drift off in one of two charming bedrooms: a double and a twin. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage for your walking gear.
Begin each day with a stroll beside Loch Caolisport and a slurp of coffee from your flask. At Tarbert Castle Heritage Park (16 miles), find the remains of Robert the Bruce’s round towers and look down over the fishing harbour before setting off along the Kintyre Way. Nature lovers can choose from wildlife spots such as Taynish National Nature Reserve, Knapdale Scottish Beaver Trail, and Achnabreac Forest, all within 25 miles.
