Enjoying an idyllic position on the shore of the dramatic Loch Goil, this impressive turreted Victorian property provides tranquil and relaxing accommodation for nine guests with two pet dogs. Surrounded by stunning countryside, this secluded house has been tastefully decorated and offers period charm and a soothing atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a family or group to relax in. Complete with a private hot tub, this wonderful retreat makes a great base for exploring a breathtaking part of Argyll.

This fantastic property features a welcoming drawing room with a tall bay window, grand fireplace, elegant furnishings and a traditional wood burner. The richly decorated dining room has a large table and glass chandelier to create the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The ground floor also offers a delightful kitchen/breakfast room, a conservatory and the spacious vaulted-ceiling family room where you can sit back, relax, enjoy a movie, chat or play pool. There are five stylishly furnished bedrooms, including a master bedroom on the ground floor with a beautiful four-poster bed. There is also a handy shower room with WC on the ground floor.

A private lochside lawn area features a picnic bench and opens onto the pebble beach. A fast-flowing burn runs through the back garden, so young children must be supervised at all times.

Situated within the Argyll Forest Park, this is a fantastic base for dogs and their owners who wish to explore the west coast and the magical Argyll countryside. There are opportunities for hill walking, discovering sparkling lochs and spotting wildlife including otters, wildcats and eagles. The ruins of Carrick Castle lie on the lochside close to the house.

Great stay at Rhumhor house. Excellent location and the house is fantastic, we spent most of our nights with the fire roaring in the big room with pool table and of course....a whisky. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Rhumhor House is a beautiful place, tastefully decorated with lovely fittings, and in an amazing location. There's plenty to do in the area and the owners give lots of ideas for visiting, exploring, eating out, shopping, etc in the welcome pack. We had a memorable family holiday there.

The house is fantastic, as mentioned earlier it is very well equipped and you could see a lot of thought has gone in to the furnishings with a fantastic eye for detail in every room . The kitchen flooring upgrade and the family room oak panelling looks amazing. The location is excellent with the view out of every window being like a picture postcarRead mored. The walking from the house and the activities offered by cove, just up the road, kept us all active throughout our week's holiday. Hide
