Description from owner
Description
This terraced cottage sits on the banks of the Crinan Canal at Cairnbaan, Lochgilphead close to Kilmartin in Argyll and is the sister of Crinan Canal Cottage No8 (almost identical and practically next door). Great for extended families.
The Crinan Canal offers the ideal environment to enjoy the wonderful scenery, fishing, canoeing, sailing, horse riding, walking and cycling with many cycle tracks signposted throughout the Glen and plenty of forests and hills nearby should you wish something more energetic. Wildlife includes many woodland birds and birds of prey, beavers in the reserve at Knapdale, red squirrels, red and roe deer, seals, otters and occasionally pine martins.
Kilmartin is home to the spectacular ruin of Carnasserie Castle, Nether Largie standing stones, Temple Wood Stone Circle and numerous ancient burial mounds. The medieval hill-fort of Dunadd was considered to be the capital of the ancient Gaelic Kingdom of Dalriada and has ancient stone carvings and the stone footprint believed to be part of a mediaeval coronation ritual. Kilmartin Museum is well worth a visit to discover the rich history of this ancient land.
The nearby town of Lochgilphead has a variety shops, cafes restaurants, hospital/doctors surgery, a swimming pool, golf course and sports center. There is also a shop where bicycles can be hired. Boats can be chartered from Crinan harbour and there are wildlife safari trips around the islands where it is possible to see whales, porpoise, seals, many sea birds including golden and white-tailed eagles, and the spectacular Corryvreckan Whirlpools. A walk, cycle or drive from Crinan to Ardrishaig is 9 miles and provides you with the perfect opportunity to take in the stunning views of Mid Argyll and watch the boats sailing by.
The cottage as been recently decorated to a high standard double glazing and shower room. The cottage has two bedrooms, with the room to the front giving open views across the canal to the hills beyond, and the rear bedroom having views out to the woodland to the back of the cottage.. The ground floor comprises a newly fitted kitchen with a dining area and a cosy sitting room with an enclosed wood-burning fire. Starter pack of logs etc provided. Free Wi-Fi (Fibre Optic) and internet connection recently installed, complete with BTSports.The front garden has a terrace/patio next to the lawn-which is in fact AstroTurf, and has two golf holes - putter and practice soft golf balls provided.

Ideal for walking, cycling, hill climbing, bird watching, fishing.
