Kilmun

Kilmun,
Loch Awe,
Argyllshire

Sleeps 8/12

Set amongst the pines, birches, heather and rocks of the western shore of Loch Awe about 30 miles south-east of Oban and 15 south of Taynuilt - in a 'truly Scottish' dream location looking over the loch 400 yards away - this traditional farmhouse has stood on this spot from before 1745 but has just been architecturally re-designed internally to make a light and airy, spacious, warm, double-glazed house - whose original exterior still harmonises so well within the beauty of its own grounds.

From patio-windows off the sitting-room at the back of the house there is a large deck with views across a tiny stream to the wooded hills (many waymarked walks and waterfalls); while from the front (barbeque) there is a wide vista up and down and across Loch Awe (garden furniture is supplied).

There are some family mountain-bike trails (bikes can be hired) a little farther down the lochside, while fishing and boating can be arranged. The remains of the old Caledonian Oak Forest (now a nature-reserve) can be seen, as can evidence of ancient burial grounds, and of the charcoal-burners of the 18th and 19th centuries.

View over Kilmun The nearest pub is at Kilchrenan (7 miles, where there are also two excellent lochside hotels). There is a village shop and cafe at Dalavich (1 mile away) and the nearest small shops are at Taynuilt, which is reached by a spectacular but twisting single-track road. Oban (40 minutes away) offers main shops, and boat trips to Mull, Iona, Staffa, etc. For climbers there are several Munros within one hour's drive, and for those who just want time to relax in peace and quiet, there are wonderful views from every window.

Background oil central-heating, and fuel for the wood-burning stove is included!included. Bed-linen is included!included, and towels can be hired. Additionally, there are two single futon beds available for hire. Pets are welcome. There is a telephone. Smoking is not allowed within the house.
