Clachandubh Cottage
Loch Awe, Argyll |
|
Clachandubh dates back to the early 1800s when it was three adjoining dwellings. It has now been modernised to a high standard to create one spacious self-catering home. This cottage is also perfect as accommodation for 2 out of the peak holiday periods as part of it can be closed off.
Situated in a peaceful area of Argyll, it is tucked away in a secluded position by a burn and is only a short drive from the coast.
The cottage is in the heart of a large hill farming estate called Ederline, which has been family-owned since 1899. There is wild brown trout fishing on 24 hill lochs. Course fishing on Loch Ederline where boats and canoes can also be hired. Loch Awe also has some exceptional fishing. As guests on the estate you are welcome to explore the many walks with places of historical interest and abundance of wildlife including two pairs of nesting ospreys which can be viewed from a safe distance.
Locally there are a huge selection of activities and places to visit. Ederline is close to the ferries to visit the Hebridean Islands and private sea trips can be arranged. Pony treking, fantastic golf courses, gardens, castles, whisky distilleries and prehistoric stone circles. Guests say it is impossible to see it all in one week and return year after year!

Accommodation:
The cottage is situated on its own by an old stone bridge where the Clachandubh Burn flows, excellent for 'Pooh Sticks'! It has its own garage/log shed with ample parking and an enclosed garden which is mainly lawn. As you enter to the right there is a long corridor leading into all the bedrooms. The last third of the cottage can be sealed off for smaller parties.
The single bedroom is at the end of the corridor next to the separate w/c and basin. Straight in front of you is the large bathroom with separate shower and bath. Turn left and the door leads into the fully equipped family kitchen with dining area, dishwasher, cooker, washing machine, fridge freezer and microwave.
Through the kitchen in the next room is the huge sitting room which also has a dining area if you want to eat out of the kitchen. This has an open log fire, TV, DVD, books and CD player.
The back of the cottage looks out on to open fields and up into the hills. The front is wooded and drops down to the burn. A perfect holiday retreat away from it all!!
