Escape to Scotland’s spectacular west coast at this stylish countryside retreat, which works well for couples and small families keen to slow down and enjoy this captivating corner of the Highlands. You’ll be surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of Lerags Glen, with scenic walks and wildlife-watching opportunities beginning right on the doorstep. For a change of scene, head to Oban (4.5 miles), where you’ll find tempting restaurants, welcoming cafés, independent shops and bustling harbourfront attractions await. Sample fresh shellfish on the quayside before catching a ferry from South Pier to Mull, Colonsay, Tiree, Lismore or Barra. History lovers can discover the dramatic ruins of Dunollie Castle (5 miles) and explore mighty Dunstaffnage Castle (7.5 miles), while relaxed seaside days beckon at Ganavan Sands (6 miles) and Dunbeg Beach (8 miles).
You’ll enter this attractive wooden lodge on the ground floor. Make yourself at home in the bright open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area, which has a colourful and homely appearance and dual-aspect windows allowing plenty of light in. Cook something delicious in the well-equipped kitchen, with its striking blue units, then gather around the circular wooden table to share meals, then sink into the sofa to watch a film on the TV. There’s also a wood burner to keep you all warm on chillier evenings. A double bedroom and a downstairs shower room with WC are also located on this level. Head upstairs to discover the spacious king-size bedroom in the loft, accompanied by an en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower – perfect for a long soak after an active day.
Outside, you can access a raised decking area through the living area, then dine al fresco among the trees. Take a soak in the hot outdoor bubble bath, fire up the wood-fired pizza oven/chiminea or share a sunny feast from the BBQ. Garden furniture, lounge chairs and festoon lighting complete the scene, while an enclosed area provides space for your canine companion. Private parking is available for one car.
