Cottage in Argyll and Bute

Holiday Rental Description

If you close your eyes and imagine the most picturesque, romantic Scottish Highland scene, the chances are it will look like this. This property enjoys the most spectacular setting with outstanding views across Loch Linnhe to the mountains of Kingairloch with the Isles of Lismore and Shuna and the historic Castle Stalker. This lovely holiday house, approached by a long tree lined private drive, is located on the edge of the pretty Argyll fishing village of Port Appin, halfway between Fort William and Oban. Argyll is one of the most romantic areas of Scotland, famous for its spectacular castles, coast and wildlife. Dreamy highland views of glens, rugged mountains and lochs can all be enjoyed from this secluded and tranquil location and there are endless day trips and outdoor opportunities all within easy reach. Renovated and extended to maximise its exceptional position, this inspiring self catering property offers everything you could wish for in the way of luxury, peace and relaxation. Throughout, the interiors are beautifully presented with a perfect mix of antique and contemporary creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Cooks will delight at the large, well designed and generously equipped kitchen and the long dining table is a wonderful gathering place. The impressive double height sitting room with its rich oak floor, central wood burner and huge glass front makes the most of the views and, when the patio doors are pulled back, this exceptional open plan living space is at one with the outside. From here, you can enjoy the magical changing light and colours as spectacular sunsets disappear over the horizon or marvel at the enchanting morning mist skimming the loch. Sleeping up to ten guests in five stylishly decorated bedrooms, great care and attention has been taken to provide everything needed for a memorable self catering break with deep mattresses, crisp linen, generous fluffy towels plus many other thoughtful touches. The front king size bedroom suite, cleverly positioned on the mezzanine level, offers a secluded retreat and the spacious ground floor bedroom with its luxurious super king bed and en suite shower room makes it ideal for the less abled guest with unrestricted wheelchair access. Outside, fire up the BBQ and cook up a tasty treat for fellow guests which can be enjoyed on the paved terrace. Stroll down to the beautiful and peaceful shoreline where you will find a long shingle and sand beach with an abundance of shells and discover the amazing wildlife that thrives in and around this beautiful sea loch.
