Nestled in a truly idyllic location in the picturesque Ardentinny, this fantastic house is a nature enthusiast’s paradise. Sleeping eight in four chic bedrooms, it is perfect for groups of friends and families alongside two canine chums. Benefiting from a stunning coastal location, where sightings of porpoises, seals and birdlife can be enjoyed, find peace, tranquillity and space to get away from it all on your doorstep. With its own private beach and mooring, spend the days on the water before returning to recharge the batteries with a glass of wine in front of the warming wood burner.

A reverse-level property that makes the most of its waterside location, inside you’ll find that large skylights and windows complement warm wooden floors and cream walls to create a contemporary and bright interior. The cleverly designed layout maximises the living spaces, with cosy corners to hide in and great areas to gather together in comfort and style, creating a house that is both stylish and extremely comfortable.

Light and bright, the exceptional first-floor lounge is the heart of the house, with windows on three aspects giving wonderful sea views over Loch Long which can be enjoyed from comfortable sofas. Centred around the wonderful central wood burner, cosy nights in can be had from all areas of the room after a day out exploring. Elegant and considered furniture, tasteful artwork and patterned soft furnishings create a modish yet welcoming feel. The stylish ground-floor kitchen is perfect for cooking and enjoying delicious meals all together at the table.

Retaining the same character, the four bedrooms are spacious, serene and chic in pastel palettes with wonderful views so you wake with the sunlight flooding in. The first-floor double and twin bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, with the fantastic freestanding bath perfect for a long, relaxing soak. Admire the loch views from the two double ground-floor bedrooms and, with each boasting an en-suite, there will be no need to queue for the shower. Completing the ground floor is the stylish bathroom with a handheld shower over.

Venture outside onto the wonderful decked terraced with seating area from the kitchen, perfect for al fresco dining with spectacular sea views over the Loch Long.

We have a lovely week at An Carraig. Such a beautiful house, very comfortable and in a perfect spot. Extremely well equipped - other than a larger pan and casserole dish would be useful, especially if cooking for 8 people.. We had mixed weather - some sunshine, some rain (beautful rainbows over the loch!), bit windy most of the time, but it didn't Read morespoil our holiday. We were happy just sitting out when we could and enjoying the birds and the porpoises (or at least their fins!). Visit to Benmore Botanical Gardens was definitely worth it. We ate twice at the Ardentinny restaurant 2 doors away - the owners were very friendly and the food was generally good. Overall a lovely stay. Would definitely return. Hide

We had a beautiful stay at this house. The living room, which is upstairs, had panoramic views of the loch, and we were given the privilege of watching dolphins/porpoises from the comfort of a couch on more than one occasion. There was a regular visit from the seals as well. The house is beautiful, the village is beautiful and to top it all there wRead moreas a friendly pub almost next door. Fabulous holiday. Thank you.

Fantastic location and a great house for a larger group. The social space is excellent and the en-suite bathrooms wonderful. There is a fantastic kitchen and dining space but if you dont want to cook there is a restaurant next door which is open Wednesday to Sunday. We will be back

Beautiful house with wonderful views from the garden and upstairs living room. Reasonably well equipped, particularly for a smaller group. A group of 8 may need a bigger cooking pot etc.

We had a pleasant stay in this comfortable house which is in a great location. The scenery was spectacular and the weather fine. The more active members of our family group went walking while others relaxed and enjoyed the views of the loch. The property owners were very helpful and informative. We enjoyed meals at the Ardentinny restaurant and theRead more Blairmore cafe. A very enjoyable holiday. Hide
