Escape with your loved ones to this elegant first-floor apartment set within the idyllic Lonan Country House, which sits just 12 miles outside Oban. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this is a perfect accommodation choice for small families or groups of friends who are dreaming of a sophisticated retreat to call home while they explore iconic locations like Fort William and Glencoe together. Start your day in Taynuilt village (1 mile), where you can stroll up Kelly’s Pier to take in the lovely views over Loch Etive – a great spot for wild water swimming. Afterwards, head to Angus’s Garden (1.5 miles) to hike the woodlands in the Glen Lona hills. Or, see how cannonballs were used during the Napoleonic Wars at Bonawe Historic Iron Furnace (2 miles). Dating back to 1753, this was the most complete charcoal-fuelled ironworks in Britain.
Park in your private spot (there’s room for two cars) and step inside your smart first-floor apartment to find an inviting hall that leads into a sleek open-plan living/kitchen/dining area. Slip onto the sofa by the wood burner and take a moment to appreciate the lovely garden views through the original Edwardian windows, before you make your way to the kitchen area. A large breakfast table stylishly separates the dining area from the sleek kitchen space, and large dual aspect windows pour plenty of natural light into this social spot. When it’s time for bed, the main bedroom offers a super-king bed, as well as deep windows that frame the stunning garden, pond and woodland views. The second bedroom features a zip-and-link super king bed. Completing the layout is a handy shower room with a WC.
Step outside and you’ll discover 27 acres of beautiful gardens to explore. The views of the woodlands towards Ben Starav are exceptional.
