Property code: OC-CA288

Sleeping up to 24 guests across ten bedrooms – plus three four-legged friends – this generously sized stone-built property is perfect for bringing the whole family together or enjoying a break with a group of friends. Set in a pretty village on the Firth of Clyde this is an excellent base for exploring the spectacular Cowal peninsula and beautiful countryside of Argyll, with vast woodlands, mountains and glens guaranteed to set tails wagging.

Set back from the road, and surrounded by a private, walled garden, this appealing Victorian property features high ceilings, dark wood panelling and parquet floors, which create a traditional country house atmosphere. Three spacious sitting rooms ensure there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax, whilst the dogs choose where to take their naps, or you can come together in the impressive dining room overlooking the garden. The kitchen's range cooker adds to the traditional feel, with a well-equipped pantry that is great for large party catering. Outside, a private garden and terrace allows you to make the most of summertime al fresco dining, with views across the 18-hole Cowal golf course.

Situated in a quiet residential street, just a short stroll from the waterfront of the coastal village of Kirn, beautiful scenic walks start from the doorstep of the property giving your dogs the chance to stretch their legs somewhere new. Take a stroll along Marine Parade to the welcoming seaside town of Dunoon and absorb the magnificent views of the Clyde Estuary and beyond, or hike west to explore the hillside forests and mountains beyond. Alternatively, journey 5 miles north and you will find yourself in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, an area renowned for its tremendous hills, mountains and lochs where your canine pals won't be able to believe their luck at the vast open spaces and wildlife to chase.

We spent Xmas at Rosscairn for a big family gathering of 3 generations (18 people) and the house was perfect for our needs. The owner made huge efforts decorating the whole of the downstairs which made it special and was much appreciated. The kitchen is quite small (but a range cooker with 5 rings and 2 ovens, plus an electric on counter oven). It Read moreworks well with a second utility room where there are 2 dishwashers and 3 additional fridge/freezers. The dining room was very spacious but still felt cosy when full of people! 3 sitting rooms make for a comfortable place for groups with different needs. It is a fairly old property with what you would expect from this, so not super modern, but very good value and we had a wonderful time! Hide

Large house with plenty of room, we had six cars and no problem parking and a wonderful garden at the rear and safe for children. We had a couple of problems during our stay but the owner came out straight away and fixed them. Kitchen a bit small but we managed okay with 16 of us.
