Escape with your special someone to this elegant apartment sitting in the spacious grounds of the Lonan House, just outside the pretty village of Taynuilt. Sleeping two guests, this is a perfect accommodation choice for couples in search of a romantic retreat amongst the spectacular beauty of Scotland’s west coast. Head off to Inverawe Nature Trails and Fisheries (1 mile) to try your hand at fly fishing. Alternatively, take a little time out to stop and smell the roses at the beautifully landscaped grounds of Ardchattan Priory Garden (12 miles), where the views across Loch Etive are spellbinding. Or set off for a subterranean adventure at Ben Cruachan Visitor Centre (12.5 miles) when you take a guided tour deep inside the ‘Hollow Mountain’. Discover the cavernous machine hall and power-generating turbines that are hidden deep within the mountain, and then check out the stunning views of Loch Awe from the visitor centre’s cafe.

Park in the parking area (there’s room for two cars) and head up to the first floor suite situated within this lovely country home. Inside, you’ll find a bright and cheerful living room that’s bathed in a calming palette of neutral colours. Beautiful double-aspect windows and a charming wood burner add some real sophistication to the space. The sleek kitchen is a haven of culinary delight, where you can cook up your favourite meal and share it with your special someone at the intimate dining table. Afterwards, treat yourself to a glass of something cool and crisp by the wood burner in the living room while you catch up on your favourite TV shows. At the end of the day, retreat to the stylish super king-size bedroom. A compact, modern shower room completes the chic layout.

Outside, you’ll find 27 beautiful acres of gardens that you are free to explore.

A really lovely home from home. The gardens were great for walking the dog she loved the small stream for a daily paddle. It was a genuine Edwardian style house with all the home comforts that make a holiday special.

The location was superb and is perfect for those who want to get away from it all.The owners are putting an enormous effort to fully renovate the perfectly situated gardens and are creating numerous pathways around the property. The welcome gifts were a nice touch.
