AWARDED TRIPADVISOR CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE 2018.Beautifully situated at the head of the Loch, these two newly completed holiday homes offer a wonderful holiday experience. This stunning, scenic location boasts picture postcard views and the properties have unique state of the art interiors. They are adjacent to each other and can be booked together for larger parties.

Glendaruel is situated within the Loch Lomond National Park which offers many opportunities for forest trails, cycle routes, hill walking, golf and sailing. Guests, through us, can also arrange deer stalking and fishing for salmon/sea trout; there are numerous hill lochs where brown trout abound and there is excellent sea fishing on the doorstep.
There is a large natural mussel bed you can walk to on the low tide and a shrimping net will always provide a delicious appetiser for any meal.
We also have a freezer in a shed adjacent to the cottage in which we keep delicious local produce, including venison, sea food, ready made meals and game, which can be purchased by way of an ’honesty box’ basis.
For EV charging, there is a meter available and a price per KW can be agreed with the owner.
The islands of Bute and Arran are nearby and the 7 mile drive to the villages of Tighnabruaich and Kames, overlooking the Kyles of Bute and with views to Arran, the Kintyre Peninsula and back to Ayrshire on the mainland must be one of most spectacular anywhere in the UK.
Dunoon, which has many shops, restaurants etc is half an hour away, [with a regular bus service] and there are many excellent local restaurants, serving delicious local fare, perhaps the most famous of which is the original Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, some 35 minutes drive away.
With the stunning scenery and the ever changing seasonal colours, the Cowal Peninsula is home to a great many artists, and local galleries give the art lover a wonderful choice to explore. Every October, there is a festival of local arts, The Cowal Fest, which brings visitors from far and wide to the area.
The autumn also sees every year the Dunoon Highland Games
which are famous for Scottish dancing championships, pipe bands and all sorts of traditional highland activities.
The cottages are also ideally placed for walkers wanting to explore the outstanding Cowal Way.
