About this property

There s no end of entertainment at this pretty Victorian holiday home, with a private shoreline, boathouse, garden, hot tub, games cabin, and more. It s a place for all ages to enjoy.

With stunning views across Loch Awe and a wealth of in house entertainment, this large property offers your group the option to stay inside its grounds for the duration of your rural retreat. Venture out though, and you ll discover a wide range of intriguing attractions and must see places. Close to home is the Bonawe Historic Iron Furnace (8 miles) and Cruachan Dam Visitor Centre (12 miles), while further afield there is the fascinating Ocean Explorer Centre (17 miles). Stock up on supplies in Oban (19 miles) and while there, visit some of the town s sights, which include a whisky distillery offering tours and tastings, a granite tower that sits atop the hill overlooking the town, and a small museum. The ground floor boasts an array of beautiful social spaces where your party can gather to relax, talk, and eat. The spacious open plan kitchen/diner is well equipped with an AGA (electric, two door), microwave/grill/oven, bread maker, family food processor, American style fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. There is a kitchen island unit with seats to enjoy nibbles and drinks between meals, as well as the long dining table set before an open fire and a bright bay window. When you re in need of a soft seat, there s the elegantly decorated drawing room with wood burner and TV, through which you can access the pretty garden room which opens onto the terrace, as well as the comfortable family lounge with en suite shower room and WC. On this floor, you ll also find a handy cloakroom and utility, with a large American style washing machine and dryer. To head upstairs, go back into the hallway and climb the original Victorian staircase to the first floor. Here are all five of the beautiful bedrooms. The king size suite includes a dressing room, accessed via a door and two steps, which is also suitable for a twin bedroom with two J beds provided. It also has an en suite with walk in shower and WC. The remaining bedrooms a double with washbasin, a twin with washbasin (that can also be made into a king size on request), a twin with Juliet balcony (that again can be made into a king size), and a bunk bedroom all have the use of the first floor bathroom. It is complete with a double ended roll top bath, separate shower, and WC. Head out to the garden and explore the house s extensive outdoor space. Keep the party inside the enclosed garden, where a slope and steps down from the terrace lead you onto a lovely lawn. Children can play in the fort or begin a game of five a side football using the goals set up there. There are a burn and small pond (so please ensure your youngest guests are supervised) and for kids and adults alike, the games cabin promises hours of fun, with a competition size pool table, football table, dartboard and 100 CD jukebox. Once you re tired out, lounge on one of the two terraces and light the BBQs. Alternatively, take the party down to the shoreline and stretch out on the sand or launch your own boat from the jetty for an adventure on the loch.
