The design award winning house was built in the late 1990s and has been carefully incorporated into the hillside and oriented entirely to maximise on the island views and seascapes extending over 30 miles to the south and west. This is an extremely comfortable, spacious and sophisticated holiday home situated near the villages of Arduaine and Croabh Haven.

Both bedrooms have French doors out to the garden and take in the stunning views. Both en-suite bathrooms have heated tiled floors.
The spacious and bright open plan first floor consists of a neatly fitted and well equipped galley style kitchen, dining room and sitting room with French doors to the large balcony. The furniture comprises a three seater sofa, which can be converted into a full double sofa bed, a two seater sofa and two easy chairs. There is a gas fire in the corner of the living room, a TV with Sky freesat, integrated DVD player and stereo system with MP3 and ipod connection.

“What a view!”
A view that is hard to beat in a lovely house surrounded by a lovely garden. Great places to visit locally; Loch Awe, Oban, the beautifully reflective Crinan Canal, up high to Dalavich, the small Kelpies at Ardrishaig, and the whole stunning Kintyre Peninsula. Majestic Glen Coe is easily reachable too via the interesting Connel Bridge. Close by is Port Appin, a lovely place to go for lunch. We had a lovely time looking out over ever-changing views and watching the clouds come and go. Lovely to sit out on the balcony at sunset. Recommended.

“SUPERB COTTAGE AMAXING VIEWS”
Blown away with this cottage. Stunning in every way. Has everything you need for your vacation. Our weather wasn't great, on the bad days we just chilled watching the clouds roll in over the islands. Clear nights are amazing if you are a star gazer. Would highly recommend this cottage. We definitely will be back.
