Wild swimming, Munro bagging and endless games of fetch await in the southern Highlands, and this delightful Argyll and Bute apartment provides the perfect base for a pet-friendly adventure. Set in a tranquil location amid 27 acres of private grounds with incredible views towards Ben Starav, this first floor retreat invites pets and people alike to truly switch off and enjoy a restorative escape. Sleeping four guests and two dogs, it’s an ideal choice for families, friends or couples who wouldn’t dream of holidaying without their faithful companions.
On arrival, you’ll find private parking for two cars and expansive grounds to explore. You may meet other four-legged guests on site, so keep your pups on their leads where necessary. Once you step inside, though, Rover is free to roam. The property is laid out across one level on the first floor of a grand country house, with family life centring around a sociable open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Large windows flood this space with light, and there’s plenty of room to set down your dog’s bed, bowls and favourite toys. When the temperature drops, throw a log or two on the wood burner to keep toes and paws cosy after a long day of Highland hiking. When it’s time to rest those weary legs, head along the hall to find a king-size bedroom and a super-king-size zip-and-link, both sharing a modern shower room.
Surrounded by meandering woodland trails, mystical forestland and breathtaking scenery at every turn, the beauty of this corner of Scotland is truly unmatched. Explore Glen Nant National Forest (2.5 miles) or the enchanting Angus’s Garden (1.5 miles), both teeming with wildlife and wildflowers. Let Fido sniff out new scents and world-class sticks in the Fearnoch Forest (4 miles) before dropping into the friendly village of Taynuilt (1 mile) for a well-earned pub stop.
