Property code: OC-79529

You’ll be completely enchanted by this luxurious property, nestled in an idyllic location on the banks of Loch Long in Ardentinny. The large house sleeps eight guests and two canine companions, making it ideal for celebrating special occasions with your nearest and dearest. The hounds will be in their element, with their own private beach right outside the front door and craggy peaks and hidden glens to sniff and explore in the surrounding Argyll Forest Park.

Once you have taken in the truly mesmerising scenery, step inside the gorgeous home and marvel at the elegance and grandeur. At the heart of the property is the spacious first-floor lounge. With windows on three aspects and a cosy central wood burner, it’s the perfect place for you all to sit back and relax after an action-packed day. The stylish kitchen also has ample seating, so you can all mingle during breakfast and plan your day’s itinerary. From here, doors lead to the outdoor space, so it’s a good spot to set up the furball’s beds. Outside, enjoy al fresco dining on the terrace, where the views are (obviously) spectacular, whilst the pups play on the lawn.

There’s a great selection of woodland trails and tracks to explore in Ardentinny, as well as a woof-friendly sandy beach just over a mile from the property. From here you can take the Laird’s Trail, which hugs the shoreline, passes through shady woodland and offers glorious views out over the water. A peaceful afternoon can be spent at the paw-friendly Benmore Botanic Garden (10.5 miles away). Admire the impressive collection of rhododendrons and conifers, all set within a dramatic mountainous landscape. Stretch the legs with a stroll to the viewpoint, 137 metres above Holy Loch, and keep your eyes peeled for golden eagles circling overhead.

We have a lovely week at An Carraig. Such a beautiful house, very comfortable and in a perfect spot. Extremely well equipped - other than a larger pan and casserole dish would be useful, especially if cooking for 8 people.. We had mixed weather - some sunshine, some rain (beautful rainbows over the loch!), bit windy most of the time, but it didn't Read morespoil our holiday. We were happy just sitting out when we could and enjoying the birds and the porpoises (or at least their fins!). Visit to Benmore Botanical Gardens was definitely worth it. We ate twice at the Ardentinny restaurant 2 doors away - the owners were very friendly and the food was generally good. Overall a lovely stay. Would definitely return. Hide

We had a beautiful stay at this house. The living room, which is upstairs, had panoramic views of the loch, and we were given the privilege of watching dolphins/porpoises from the comfort of a couch on more than one occasion. There was a regular visit from the seals as well. The house is beautiful, the village is beautiful and to top it all there wRead moreas a friendly pub almost next door. Fabulous holiday. Thank you.

Fantastic location and a great house for a larger group. The social space is excellent and the en-suite bathrooms wonderful. There is a fantastic kitchen and dining space but if you dont want to cook there is a restaurant next door which is open Wednesday to Sunday. We will be back

Beautiful house with wonderful views from the garden and upstairs living room. Reasonably well equipped, particularly for a smaller group. A group of 8 may need a bigger cooking pot etc.

We had a pleasant stay in this comfortable house which is in a great location. The scenery was spectacular and the weather fine. The more active members of our family group went walking while others relaxed and enjoyed the views of the loch. The property owners were very helpful and informative. We enjoyed meals at the Ardentinny restaurant and theRead more Blairmore cafe. A very enjoyable holiday. Hide
