Lurach House

About this property

With views of Port Appin's bay in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, is Lurach, a semi-detached holiday home with a contemporary and homely décor. Perfect for a small family, a couple, or even friends sharing, this cottage is a fabulous retreat for a quintessentially Scottish holiday. Step into the amply-equipped kitchen and pop the kettle on while you ponder over dinner plans and the week's itinerary. From here, gather at the dining table and toast to a wonderful staycation, before making your way through to the sitting room, furnished with caramel leather sofas and a toasty woodburning stove to snuggle up in front of while you unwind for the evening.

Finishing off the ground floor is a sleek shower room, while another bathroom can be found on the first floor, giving you the option for a long soak after a day of walking or cycling. When it's time to rest, choose from a double or a twin room, each with a TV for lazy mornings, a neutral décor, and plenty of storage to unpack your belongings into. Outside, there is a quaint decking area boasting views over a field and the nearby bay, the perfect spot for your morning coffee in the fresh air. Begin your tour with a leisurely stroll down to the Port Appin centre, which is home to a plethora of attractive art boutiques, a practical grocery stocked with all household supplies, and two friendly local pubs where you can have a wonderful hot meal washed down with a cool pint of ale.

Cross the gorgeous Loch Linnhe to the Isle of Lismore, which is home to charming historical monuments like Achanduin Castle and Castle Coeffin or take a scenic car ride across to Fort William, where you can drink up local history at the West Highland Museum and the magnificent Saint Andrew's Church. Hike up the renowned Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles, or enjoy a more leisurely stroll through the Highland Titles Nature Reserve. Whatever the weather, bring your loved ones to enjoy a stay at Lurach. EPC Rating: Band C. Licence AR02326F

Port Appin is a picturesque coastal village with excellent local facilities, and many places of interest nearby. It is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, as the area is rich in beautiful walks, varied cycle tracks and opportunities for a variety of watersports. The village is not only stunningly pretty, but also boasts two award-winning hotels, a village shop/Post Office, a bicycle hire shop and fishing from the jetty. From the small jetty, a 5 minute ferry ride will take you across the Lynn of Lorn to the unspoilt island of Lismore, the most accessible of the Argyll islands, and a beautiful tranquil place steeped in history with ruined castles and an Iron Age Broch. The bustling town of Oban is a short drive to the south and just 29 miles north is Fort William with Ben Nevis - the largest mountain in Britain; both places are well worth a visit!
