Enjoying an idyllic position on the shore of the dramatic Loch Goil, this impressive turreted Victorian property provides tranquil and relaxing accommodation for nine guests with two pet dogs. Surrounded by stunning countryside, this secluded house has been tastefully decorated and offers period charm and a soothing atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a family or group to relax in. Complete with a private hot tub, this wonderful retreat makes a great base for exploring a breathtaking part of Argyll.

This fantastic property features a welcoming drawing room with a tall bay window, grand fireplace, elegant furnishings and a traditional wood burner. The richly decorated dining room has a large table and glass chandelier to create the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The ground floor also offers a delightful kitchen/breakfast room, a conservatory and the spacious vaulted-ceiling family room where you can sit back, relax, enjoy a movie, chat or play pool. There are five stylishly furnished bedrooms, including a master bedroom on the ground floor with a beautiful four-poster bed. There is also a handy shower room with WC on the ground floor. The remaining bedrooms are on the first floor, several with glorious views of the loch. There’s also a cosy reading area with a picture window on the half-landing. A private lochside lawn area features a picnic bench and opens onto the pebble beach. A fast-flowing burn runs through the back garden, so young children must be supervised at all times.

Situated within the Argyll Forest Park, this is a fantastic base for dogs and their owners who wish to explore the west coast and the magical Argyll countryside. There are opportunities for hill walking, discovering sparkling lochs and spotting wildlife including otters, wildcats and eagles. The ruins of Carrick Castle lie on the lochside close to the house. Lochgoilhead (6 miles) has a number of shops and an excellent inn.

I celebrated my 30th birthday here with a small group of friends and the location and property were absolutely perfect, with everything you could ever need! The hosts were very helpful and provided all the info we would need and recommended some gorgeous walks. The location is truly breathtaking and I couldnt recommend the property more.

A beautiful house and location, but the kitchen is not suitable for the house. We are a family of 9 who love to eat and cook together and there was no storage for food and no work space to cook. The kitchen sink is too small to wash most dishes. Cupboard space is needed for food storage also

Beautiful house in stunning location. Dog friendly and very comfortable although a little chilly at night with no access to central heating.

Definitely stay here, it's absolutely stunning! The view over the loch is outstanding, there's lots of local walks to do and there's alpacas to feed a few houses away. We had the best week, sitting in the hot tub watching the boats and relaxing in the garden with a glass of wine. It's perfect.
