  • Attractive Argyll crofters' cottage in serene rural setting
  • Panoramic glen and mountain views all around
  • Light, modern interior and superb balcony with glass balustrade
Property code: OC-CA379

Indulge in a romantic retreat for two in this tranquil former croft cottage or share special time with friends, set right at the heart of a Scottish glen. Relax to a backdrop of spectacular views of Loch Awe and Ben Cruachan or venture out to enjoy mountain and riverside walks. Fish in Loch Awe or take a boat out on the water. Walk past the stunning ruins of Kilchurn Castle, standing guard over the great watery expanse. Drive 23 miles into Oban, with its shops and leisure facilities, and then explore the western coast of Scotland. Head 12 miles in the other direction to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

Awake to the sight of deer grazing close by, open the doors from either of of the stylish bedrooms and step out onto the balcony, with its glass balustrade. Prepare breakfast in the kitchen/diner and enjoy it either at the table inside or out on the balcony as you continue to wildlife watch. Settle down for the evening in ther inviting lounge, where you can light the open fire and watch TV. Find a little privacy in the reading room, where there is another TV and where a sofa bed can be made up by arrangement for an additional guest. Relax in the walk-in waterfall shower after a long day of walking.

Savour the seclusion of the setting by spending time out in the large enclosed garden. Please keep an eye on children at all times as there is a fast-flowing burn here. Enjoy a BBQ as dusk falls and make the most of the opportunity for a little star-gazing.

This was our second stay in this wonderful cottage, and once again it exceeded our expectations. The cottage is charming, cosy, spotlessly clean, and very well equipped. We immediately felt at home. We thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, the beautiful views, and the stunning scenery of Argyll and the surrounding Highlands. The locationRead more is perfect for exploring the area, while still offering a quiet and relaxing retreat. It was a pleasure to return, and we were just as satisfied as during our first visit. We had another fantastic week here and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay in this beautiful part of Scotland. Hide

The cottage is very complete in some areas even more than complete such as for example the amount of dvd's that are available to watch. The cottage is situated in a beautiful location, sometimes you can see the deer from your bed. For the serious walkers there is also enough to do in the nearby area.

We had a lovely fortnight at Tigh Na Abhainn, a very quiet location. Helen was very helpful and friendly. The property was spotless and comfortable. There were lots of little things which added a homely touch - lots of lamps (great when you're getting older and need more light to see things!), bath sheets rather than skimpy towels, a great shower aRead morend comfy beds.
