Wonderful family cottage on the vast working Bargillean Farm. Visit distilleries, hike mountains or enjoy loch fishing from your very doorstep.

Soak up the sunshine in your delightful, private garden with your furry friend beside you. Pass hours together exploring the adjacent Angus Garden, a nine-acre outdoor area which is part of Scotland's Gardens Scheme. Follow enchanting pathways here through exquisite stretches and wander beside the loch. Roam the picturesque farmland surroundings of your Taynuilt property, which sleeps up to six guests and one contented canine. Watch your pup have fun yet keep him under control on this 4,000-acre working farm and return to the warm welcome and sweet seclusion of your charming four-bedroom cottage.

Light the open fire in your lounge and settle down to a good film on TV while Fido dozes on the rug. Prepare fabulous holiday feasts in your farmhouse kitchen and dine in here with your pampered pet close by. Take him for a last wander round your pretty garden then climb the cottage-style stairs up to your inviting bedrooms. Relax outside as well as in, at this appealing Scottish retreat. Open the door and wander outside as often as the weather permits: here you can watch the children play on the equipment while your happy hound also frolics in the fresh air.

There is a myriad of fantastic dog walks from your front door in this quiet corner of Scotland. Drive approximately 5 miles to stroll by Loch Etive and watch your happy hound splash by the water's edge. Head about 12 miles to spectacular Loch Awe, where you can take in panoramic views and visit the local inn, which sets tails wagging with its doggy treats, including a special beer. Explore the grounds of striking Dunstaffnage Castle and absorb the glorious coastal vistas, approximately 13 miles from your base, with your canine chum at your heel.

Website should mention that the single track access road is narrow, twisty & steep and takes approx 10 mins from the main road. Good location to explore Oban area and also take excursions to the Hebrides. The cottage information folder is well stocked with tourist information.

The cottage is in a quiet tranquil location with a nice garden and plenty of walks and scenery. The people are welcoming and we highly recommend this cottage. It's a good base for travelling to other areas of interests.

The cottage was actually better than advertised !! The location is stunning, absolutely silent, no light pollution. It was very cozy, well equipped in every respect & extremely comfortable. Bedrooms are very warm, well furnished, really comfortable. We had a wonderful 2 weeks here, over all too quickly and would most definitely recommend Josephine'Read mores Cottage. Hide
