This is a compact version of a traditional hunting lodge set within its own private grounds, surrounded by glens with a view down Loch Etive. The area is abundant with wildlife and red deer can be seen grazing in the garden at dusk or dawn.

Simply furnished in a comfortable style, this traditional lodge offers a tastefully furnished holiday house in an amazing setting. Within, there is a comfortable sitting room with an open fire, and a small study area for a bit of peace and quiet if required. The dining room can seat up to 10 adults and the functional kitchen is next door. There is a rod room, for any fishers requiring space for their equipment, though it can store mountain bikes or other equipment. There is also “cook’s quarters” on the ground floor, with a simple bedroom with two single beds and a bathroom. Upstairs the accommodation consists of two double bedrooms and three twin bedrooms with two bathrooms. There are delightful private grounds around the house, with parking for many cars available. Access from the Glencoe area is 9 miles down the single track public road before you arrive to the house, which is hidden from view from the road. This property is ideal for an activity based holiday and for those wishing to see the Scottish hills and glens in their full glory.
