Aird House

Aird House is a working farmhouse positioned at the end of Craignish peninsula in Argyll and Bute, sleeping six across four bedrooms. The property comes with everything needed for independent holidays: electricity, heating via oil central heating and wood burner, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, along with initial fuel for the stove. The kitchen is fitted with electric cooker, dishwasher, microwave and full-sized fridge-freezer, so cooking and catering for a week is straightforward.

Downstairs offers a living room with Freeview TV, DVD player and views across the Sound of Jura, plus a separate kitchen-dining room overlooking the same water. A utility room contains washing machine and tumble dryer. One bedroom with zip-and-link beds sits on the ground floor alongside a separate toilet. Upstairs, the three remaining bedrooms include a kingsize and two singles, with a family bathroom combining bath, shower and heated towel rail. An enclosed front garden with sitting-out area and furniture frames the panoramic views of Mull and the islands beyond.

The location suits those wanting to explore by foot: miles of private shoreline with pebbly beaches lie within walking distance, and the Craignish peninsula offers wildlife, birdlife and a quieter pace. Ardfern village, two and a half miles away, has a pub, restaurant, café, shop and post office. On-site parking accommodates three cars. No smoking inside the property.
