Stay at this beautiful lodge, set on Ellary Estate at the head of Loch Caolisport, ideal for families looking for a peaceful holiday in Argyll on the west coast of Scotland. The chalet is one of three, with direct access to a sandy beach. Explore the shore of rocky outcrops, inlets and sandy beaches, and islands and islets, which are ideal for bird watchers and anglers. The area is one of outstanding, unspoilt natural beauty, and the estate has slipway facilities for small boats, offering sailing opportunities. Discover Tarbert Castle Heritage Park, only 16 miles away, and also the start of the Kintyre Way long-distance footpath. Scenic Carsaig Beach is less than 25 miles away, with views of Carsaig Arches and, on clear days, across to Islay and Jura. Nature lovers can visit Taynish National Nature Reserve, Knapdale Scottish Beaver Trail and Achnabreac Forest, all within 25 miles.

Take the steps up to the decking of this lovely lodge, with the entrance immediately on your right. Once inside, you’ll discover a welcoming living/dining room and a kitchen. The property is set over a single level and has a seating and dining area boasting floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, creating a perfect environment for relaxed socialising. The decor features calming hues and a natural theme that reflects the beautiful location. Unwind on the comfortable sofas and enjoy a relaxed afternoon tea while admiring the wonderful views. Head to the kitchen, where you'll find all the appliances you need to rustle up some tasty treats to enjoy at the dining table. Savour delicious meals while you recount a day of adventure and plan for the next day’s activities. Enjoy evening entertainment courtesy of the TV, and when it is time to sleep, drift off soundly in one of two pretty bedrooms: a double or a twin. Both have plenty of storage. A walk-in shower with WC completes the interior of this attractive rural property.

Wander outside to the decking area and unwind on the furniture while admiring the far-reaching views to the distant mountains. On fine, warm evenings, fire up the BBQ and enjoy dining alfresco at the picnic table in the unenclosed garden. There is parking available.
