Old Kilmun House Holy Loch, Argyll |
|
This is a truly luxurious large holiday house set in 2 1/2 acres of
glorious private gardens on the edge of Holy Loch in Argyll. It has so
many facilities and things to do that you have no need to stray far -
it is one of the most comfortable and well-equipped holiday houses
available in Scotland. There are open fires in the dining room and
sitting room, and a wood-burner in the snug - lots of room to relax in
and be cosy in front of a real fire. There is a large trampoline, a
billiard room, golf clubs, bicycles, fishing rods and gorgeous gardens
to relax in (there is even an anti-midge machine so you can sit out on
summer's evenings - a rare and welcome boon in west coast holiday
houses!). If you don't want to cook then there is also an excellent
caterer that you can use - whether just for one meal or to cater for
your whole stay - a huge bonus for a self-catering holiday.
Old Kilmun House is situated in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National
Park and adjacent to the Argyll Forest Park. It is in a perfect
location for exploring the delights of the west coast of Scotland and
the Cowal Peninsula. Only 3 miles away is Benmore Botanic Gardens -
amazing gardens planted by the Younger family (who used to own Old
Kilmun House) and now part of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.
There are fantastic trees (including the tallest in the UK) and an
excellent tea shop.
There is so much to see and do in the area - spectacular scenery, with
the Kyles of Bute, Maccrahanish, Mull of Kintyre and Loch Fyne nearby.
The walking is fantastic - there are lots of great walks from the house
and plenty more in the local area. Cycling is an enjoyable way to take
in the scenery and bikes are provided. Golf and fishing are also very
good in the area - clubs and rods are provided too so you can have a go
even if you are a novice! There are some excellent pubs nearby (some
within walking distance) and the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar is just half an hour
away - a gourmet experience.
