Overlooking the majestic Loch Long with far-reaching views to Blairmore Hills and the surrounding area beyond, this spacious, tastefully appointed, second-floor apartment on the edge of Cove, offers a warm welcome to small families with two dogs who are keen to get out and explore the coastal, country and forest trails which criss-cross this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Cyclists, sailors, runners and nature lovers will all find something to pique their interest, with the warm embrace of the apartment to return to at the day’s end, a place that offers sumptuous furnishings, a welcoming living area and a shared, enclosed rear garden for stargazing and a bit of rough and tumble with the dogs.
Conversation will flow in the lounge, a light and bright area with wooden floors and comfortable sofa bed next to the wood burner, alongside which pups are sure to secure a cosy spot. The whole party can snuggle up in the lounge while streaming their favourite series, sated after an indulgent meal in the dining area, where the food brought in from the kitchen competes for attention with the landscape stretching out from the bay window. A king-size bedroom with quirky lamps, a bunk room and a stylish shower room can be found off the main hallway. The enclosed garden to the rear has plenty of space for snoozing dogs, al fresco suppers and stargazing.
Cove offers a host of convenient amenities including a shop, restaurant, cafes and sailing club. Dogs and walkers can stretch their legs on numerous footpaths, including the Clyde Sea Loch Trail, which runs past the apartment, while those with an appreciation of nature can head to Linn Botanic Gardens (1 mile). For a real adventure, head 1 mile to Kilcreggan and catch the 30-minute ferry to Gourock before hopping aboard a train to lap up the vibrant city of Glasgow (23 miles).
