The Location

Approximately a two-hour drive from Glasgow, the property sits in six acres of beautiful countryside directly on Loch Awe – one of the highland’s longest and most beautiful. The cottage’s surrounding countryside has dramatic mountains ideal for hiking, and plenty of towns and coastal communities with lots to keep you busy.

The incredibly romantic ruins of Kilchurn Castle are nearby and make for an excellent excursion and the buzzing port of Oban, with its pier filled with amazing local seafood and stalls, is also a breeze to get to.

A handful of quality inns and hotels are within three miles, providing dining options ranging from comfort pub dishes, to full-on gourmet meals. Gorgeous beaches at Benderloch are a 40 minute drive away, and Taynuit’s small shops and golf course are a 20-minute drive.
