Inveraray 8.5 miles. Set in the small village of Furnace, a settlement perched on the edge of the scenic waters of Loch Fyne, lies this charming, three-bedroom holiday home, Cherry Trees Cottage. Perfect for families, this tasteful property offers a wealth of appliances, stunning lake and countryside views, making a fantastic base for exploring nearby Inveraray and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. As you step into the property, you are greeted by a variety of well-presented living spaces, including a well-equipped, fully-fitted kitchen where the designated chef can prepare home-cooked meals to be enjoyed around the dining table or in the sitting room, complete with a Smart TV. In the evenings, treat yourself to either a long, hot bath or a rejuvenating shower before retreating to one of three tastefully-decorated bedrooms, where you can unwind and refresh as you rest up for another fun-filled day. Watch the sunrise with your morning coffee in the serene front garden, where breath-taking views of Loch Fyne will transport you to state of tranquil bliss. If you can tear yourself away from your peaceful dwelling, take some time to acquaint yourself with your local surroundings by stocking up on essentials at the Furnace Village Store, or make the short car drive up to Inveraray, where you can spend time exploring the historic grounds of Inveraray Jail and The Inveraray Bell Tower, along with the awe-inspiring landmark of Inveraray Castle. The coastal hamlet of Cairndow is slightly further afield, but well worth your time, as visitors can stop by the scenic location of Days Beach or take a mindful walk, in nature, within the Ardkinglas Woodland Garden. All of this and much more are waiting to be enjoyed during a stay at Cherry Trees Cottage.
The Duke of Argyll founded Inveraray, the traditional county seat of Argyll, in 1745. It is situated next to the magnificently restored Inveraray Castle on Lake Fyne. The village was planned to house employees of the castle estate, a woollen mill, as well as fisherman working in the lucrative herring trade. Many of the properties in existence today have significant architectural value and are protected. The town now has a variety of stores, eateries, and cafes in addition to the castle and many other tourist attractions. The notorious Courthouse and Prison, a lightship turned floating museum. Attend the Highland Games or visit the magnificent National Trust Crarae Gardens. The hills surrounding Inveraray and the Cruachan Power Station, which is housed inside a mountain, offer excellent opportunities for hiking, biking, and fishing. Both Oban and Kilmartin, which has Neolithic stones, are pleasant drives. There are several attractions, all of which are surrounded by breathtaking surroundings.

Gorgeous area too, so much wildlife. In the garden alone I saw a red squirrel, an otter, a mouse and lots of Robins and other birds. Perfect.

Although the property is advertised as on ground level there is a couple of steps in the property.which proved very awkward for our elderly father. The garden is advertised as enclosed but dogs can easy escape from here. The cottage is in desperate need of updating, general maintance and cleanliness was poor. From the overhanging bushes on the driveway which we had to drive through to mould, dust, dead bugs and moss growing inside the sun room and in other areas of the property this was very poor. The welcome pack was a disgrace. There was no thought put into it and it seemed like someone had found the contents in the back of there cupboard. Whilst there was coffee,tea and individual cerials there was no milk or sugar. What is unacceptable is that the cerial had a BBE date of January 2024 whilst the waffles also in the welcome pack had a date of July 2023. The house is potentially dangerous. The blinds in the sun room have cords hanging very low posing a risk to young children.Whist we were there we had a plug socket burn out which was fixed a few days later. However the isolator sockets do not turn off appliances such as cooker, washing machine etc. You can not access the fuse box if there is an issue as it is up high with no handle on the door to open it. There was out of date dog food left in the cupboard and the first aid box contents and tablets left behind were all a long time out of date. The shower head holder was hanging off the wall, the kitchen kickboard kept falling down and the dishwasher was not working. We addressed issues such as cleanliness, out of date welcome pack items, dangerous electrics, broken appliances and damaged items but only the burnt plug socket was replaced and an excuse of we have a maintance week booked in were made by the owners. This is just some of the issues we came across. This should of been a lovely cottage in a lovely location but this definitely did not meet anything near the standards advertised. We have took numerous photos and videos and will be asking for a partial refund. We would of left this property before the end of the week due to the issues we came across but were unable to do so due to personal reasons.

Very comfortable fixtures,furniture etc. Kitchen and dining facilities were excellent, with everything you could possibly need. I only wish we could have stayed longer. My only negative comments would be : the driveway up to the property is very narrow and has overgrown bushes/branches either side, which did mark my car bodywork. Needs cutting back . Also we had an issue with mice getting into our bags throughout the week. Traps and a more thorough clean would not go amiss.
