A generous, Scottish retreat, this fine country residence makes a superb base for you and your friends or family. Sleeping seven guests, the substantial, three-bedroom property nestles in 10-acre grounds, where you can wander through woodland, on the enchanting Cowal Peninsula. The charming retreat also boasts a private garden and hot tub. Lace up your boots and head straight out to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and Argyll Forest Park. Venture 6 miles into Dunoon, with its array of shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants. While you are here, visit the Castle House Museum and its attractive gardens. Pull on your boots and stroll to Benmore Botanic Gardens, less than 1 mile away, or Puck’s Glen, 2 miles from the house. Plan a day trip to Tighnabruaich and Kames with a spectacular viewing point en-route, which looks out over the Kyles of Bute. Loch Fyne with its famous restaurant and oyster bar both great for a day trip, all within 23 miles.

Head inside to find stylish accommodation that still retains a period feel. The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner has a fresh, modern feel, with painted woodwork and contemporary appliances, including a wine fridge for chilling your bottles of fizz. Sit down to home-cooked meals in here as you take in the wonderful scenery through the window. The capacious lounge/diner has also been beautifully designed to accommodate your large party. Lay a fire in the wood burner then soak up its comforting heat as you play your favourite tunes through the Bluetooth system, watch the Smart TV or sit down to formal meals at the table. There is a family shower room and WC on the ground floor. Heading upstairs to your lovely bedrooms is a spacious double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The family room has three single beds. This has access to a Jack and Jill shower room shared with a third king-size bedroom.

Relax out in the sunshine and fresh air of your lovely, private garden. Dine outside and lounge in the hot tub, which has space for six people and multicoloured LED lighting and a Bluetooth music system.
