A great house for a family get together - spaces to spend cosy time together as well as spaces to find quiet contemplative time. Great quality spaces. Stunning sorroundings. Good access to services nearby. Helpful information and support from Kirsty.

Absolutely beautiful property in every way... location was amazing, house stunning and everything considered that you may need for your time away.

Probably the best house we have ever stayed in with stunning views all round. The accommodation is generous with large kitchen and enough sitting rooms for everyone to find a quiet space. 6 bedrooms ranging from grand four poster to bunk beds and attic rooms and 5 shower/bathrooms! Bliss! Weather was mixed rain wind and sun but with games room and Read moretennis court there was plenty to occupy the young and energetic. Sitting in the kitchen listening to sheep, cows and cuckoos was delightful. Hide

An amazing property set in an idyllic and wonderful rural setting in the beautiful Cowal Peninsula. A beautifully-restored house & very well-furnished with tons of space and lots of lovely rooms. Would strongly recommend for any large family groups wanting to gather together.

The house is amazing set within a lovely landscape. The tennis courts and games room had lots of use and there are plenty of board games too so lots for everyone. The kitchen and conservatory was bright and spacious and equipped with everything you need. The house is very remote and so you will need to stock up on food.
