Situated within 1200 acres of farmland, on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne, lies this magnificent house - the perfect hideaway for families and their beloved canine companions. Traditionally an 18th-century Scottish Laird's house, this stunning property has been lovingly renovated and welcomes paws of all kinds to run freely in the large secluded grounds.

 

Tucked away down its own private 1-mile drive, this house is designed to provide privacy and exceptional comfort. Personal touches such as flagstone flooring, sash windows and an open fire provide the ideal opportunity to relax and feel at home. The ground-floor entrance hall is perfect for containing muddy boots and those little wet paws. The spacious kitchen/dining room is the heart of the house where many memories can be made around the table with family and friends. Take time out and sit in the lounge with a roaring fire, keeping those noses and toes warm. Scattered over the first and second floor are the five elegantly designed bedrooms, perfect for the adults amongst you who wish to relax and unwind.

 

Positioned on the shores of the magnificent Loch Fyne, prepare yourself for some exciting canine adventures right from your doorstep! Loch Fyne is Scotland's longest sea loch and is situated on what is known as ‘Argyll's Secret Coast'.

Another lovely stay! Our 3rd visit and it did not disappoint. Great for multi-generational groups with the play room and 2 lounge spaces. Great spot to explore the Cowal Peninsula.

We had an amazing family holiday in this beautiful, well equipped, spacious house. There was plenty of room for us all to move around, sit together and generally relax. We had amazing weather, so spent a lot of time outdoors, but, with the size of the property, with the games room, there would have been enough to do if the weather had been poor. YoRead moreu need to be prepared for how remote it is, and the long track up to it, but come prepared and you will have a superb holiday. Hide

Wonderful house in a rural location with lots of outdoor space. The kitchen, sun room is large and warm, perfect for 7 adults and 2 dogs. We also enjoyed the more formal lounge in the evening for reading and family quizzes and games. The bedrooms were very comfortable and it was a luxury having our own shower room/bathroom. The tennis court and gamRead morees room were ideal for our sport loving family and were well used. The beach is a good dog walk and to walk off all the excess calories! Hide

Acharossan is a beautiful home & has been carefully updated to bring it into the 21st century. It is in a very remote & beautiful location. A true home from home, we felt so relaxed & away from the stresses of our real lives. We truly recharged our batteries. Top tip- go prepared, it's a 1 hour drive to a supermarket (Dunoon), although there are 2 Read more(good) local general stores 20 & 25 mins drive away. Go here for wild beauty, remoteness, great walking, stunning coastline, and a fab home & garden. Hide
