Dog-Friendly Holidays Argyll and Bute

This cosy cottage benefits from a stunning location directly on the Lochside, with loch views from the sitting room, main bedroom and front garden. It is a cosy and comfortable home, but not contemporary in style.

Sitting in quiet isolation with Loch Fyne only 20 yards from the door, Beech Cottage is a detached, compact holiday cottage that has magnificent views across the loch and to the historic town of Inveraray which boasts a spectacular castle, home to the Duke of Argyll, and to Dunderave Castle.

Accessed by a rough track, this cottage lies in an area of Argyll with stunning beauty, fantastic walking and the opportunity for water-based activities. The area abounds with nature and there are seals, otters, porpoises and many sea birds that can be seen from the cottage. There are also many local sight-seeing activities, from visiting historic castles to stunning famous gardens and forests. It is also a great launch pad to visit much of Argyll’s famous scenery, lochs, mountains and coast. There are many wonderful restaurants locally, including the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, 5 miles, the Creggan’s Inn, 5 miles and The George Inn, Inveraray. Loch Lomond National Park is close by to explore with walking, cycle paths, fishing and loch cruises. Benmore Botanic Gardens, 18 miles, provides stunning biophilic colour.

The cottage is also an Eco-friendly home, using an electric boiler and central heating system and we encourage the use of only environmentally friendly cleaning products which are provided. Energy use is from renewable sources only so that we minimise the cottage’s impact on the environment. This is a remote part of Scotland, which is part of its appeal, but there are no supermarket or other amenities within immediate reach. The nearest small town is Inveraray which is a 25-30 minute drive and has a small supermarket.
