Area The small village of Strachur sits on the east shore of Loch Fyne on the west side of the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll. From the Gaelic meaning Glen of the Heron, Strachur is just over 60 miles from Glasgow. The original village centre is located about half a mile inland from the loch shore and today it offers the Smiddy Museum and Clachan Inn. On the shore of the loch is a shop, Post Office and tea room and just north is the famous Creggans Inn, previously owned by the renowned adventurer Sir Fitzroy MacLean. The charming town of Inverary is on the opposite sides of the loch and is reached by a pleasant and picturesque drive, passing by the well-known Loch Fyne Oyster Bar. The Town Jail is worth a visit, as is the striking castle which you pass on entering the town. Surrounded by magnificent lochs, forests and mountains, Strachur is located in one of the most spectacular parts of Scotland.
Region From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

The lodge is amazing…easily accommodated 4 adults and 4 children, beds are super comfortable, well equipped kitchen, waking up to a superb Mountain View from bed was just incredible. Great communication with landlord when we had a power cut due to storm and also quickly fixed. Would love to return again in spring or summer to fully enjoy the area. Kids were asking if “we could buy the lodge”…this is how much all of us enjoyed it! Highly recommend!

We've been to many holiday lets over the years with the family and this is the first one that I absolutely couldn't fault. The house itself is just perfect and we noticed all the little touches that show how loved it is by the owners and how they care for their guests. The location is stunning and there are breathtaking views in every direction. There are lots of walks in the local area too from loch-shore to mountain. We had a great time canoeing from Luss on Loch Lomond and Inverary Castle is well worth a visit on a sunny day, as, although the castle itself isn't huge, the gardens are lovely too. We have a rule not to go to the same place twice but this is the first we'd break that for :)
