A delightful retreat set in extensive, leafy grounds, this inviting hideaway nestles at the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park on the rugged and beautiful Cowal Peninsula. Sleeping five guests, the two-bedroom cottage encompasses accommodation ideal for a family, plus an enclosed private garden. Situated 6 miles from Dunoon, where you can shop, dine out and visit the Castle House Museum. Head out from the cottage to explore the beautiful Argyll Forest Park, with its woodland, mountains, lochs and glens. Visit the Benmore Botanic Gardens, with its impressive avenue of giant redwood trees, less than 1 mile away, and Puck’s Glen, a spellbinding, river-formed ravine, 2 miles from the cottage. Explore many of the small villages such as 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.
Return from exhilarating hikes through your scenic surroundings to enter the inviting cottage via the porch. Here, you will find a handy washing machine. There is also a separate WC. Wander on through to the open-plan kitchen/diner to unpack any fresh Scottish produce you have sourced and put the kettle on to make a cup of tea to go with the delicious shortbread you have bought. This immaculate space is well-fitted with everything you will also need to help you whip up hearty breakfasts and celebratory dinners. Pull chairs out from under the circular table when it is time to sit down for meals. Spend quality time together afterwards in the comfortable lounge. Sink back into the plump leather seating to watch a good film together on the Smart TV. Light the wood burner in the brick fireplace during the colder months and enjoy its pleasant heat. As night falls on Argyll and Bute, head upstairs to your lovely bedrooms. These include an airy double and a family room, with characterful, sloped ceilings and three single, sleigh beds and a family shower room with a WC.
Guests at this lovely retreat can soak up the sunshine out in their own small, enclosed gardens. The much wider grounds, with an abundance of rhododendrons and azaleas, are also there to be shared. There is private, off-road parking for two cars.
