Property info

Two romantic historical holiday cottages, each sleeping 4 people and dog friendly, completely restored, are situated on the site of an ancient Highland village, by the shores of Loch Fyne near Strachur, opposite Inveraray in Argyll, Scotland. They are on the beautiful Cowal Peninsula of Argyll. The cottages are only six miles from the main A83 trunk road from Glasgow. These secluded cottages are set in 180 hectares (440 acres) of natural woodland, which has heritage status, comprising oak, birch, willow, hazel, beech and rowan trees. Behind the cottages is "Tom Na Sgeulachd" ("hill of the fable") which is covered in bluebells in the spring. A small burn (hill stream) runs down to the loch below the cottages. The surrounding woodland has a variety of orchids including the great butterfly and fragrant orchid, an abundance of whorled caraway, mushrooms including chanterelles, a small waterfall, deer and a great variety of birds. Red squirrels are regular visitors as this is a red squirrel conservation area. The West Highlands of Scotland is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas of Europe. The Cottages are historically and geographically in the heartlands of the West Highlands. If you seek tranquillity and peace. PLEASE NOTE: EAST Cottage is LOUDON and WEST Cottage is MCHUGH these are semi detached cottages that can be let separately or together

Neighborhood info

Come in spring (April/May) and see the Rhododendrons in bloom, the snow drops, bluebells and daffodils in the woodland, and visit the nearby gardens of Ardkinglas, Crarae and the Younger Gardens. Come in the summer (June/July/August) and attend the Highland Games at Inveraray, Oban or Dunoon, or visit the many museums, gardens and castles. Or just walk, shop, fish, dive, shoot, swim, play golf, pony trek, play tennis or take day trips to the islands. Come in the autumn (September/October/November) and pick hazelnuts, brambles and wild raspberries; or come in winter (December/January/February/March) when the snow crowns the hills. Or celebrate with the locals Halloween (31st October), St Andrews Day (30th November) or Hogmanay (to see the New Year in true highland style). What about a Burns Night Supper (25th January) at one of the local hotels in Inveraray, Dunoon or Cairndow? Lock Eck is about 10 miles from Halftown. It is generally regarded as one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland. The west side of the loch has been totally uninhabited since the iron age and there are a number of archaeological sites.
