Pucks Glen and Benmore Botanical Gardens are both within walking distance of Ard Darach Lodge, making it an excellent base for exploring the Cowal Peninsula's forests, lochs and glens. Loch Eck lies five minutes' drive away for fishing and boating, while Dunoon has pubs, cafés and shops. A beach is a mile off. The national park setting means cycle routes and walking trails are plentiful, and the lodge suits families wanting outdoor activities alongside coastal access.

All three bedrooms and the single bathroom are on the ground floor. One bedroom has a double bed (4ft 6in), another has two singles (3ft each), and a third has a double (4ft 6in), sleeping six people overall. The kitchen/dining room is fully fitted with an electric oven, hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A spacious living room has a wood burner, Freeview television and large windows onto the woodland garden, where there's seating outside. Initial logs for the burner are supplied. Electricity, bed linen, towels, wi-fi and parking for two cars are included. One well-behaved pet stays free. The property is non-smoking.

We have been here in May 2025 and we going back in October 2025. We loved this place and want to see this environment in autumn colours. The squirrels, fireplace and wood! We recommend it!

Beautiful lodge! Every detail was thought of, plenty of wood provided for the log burner and even some biscuits and treats for our dog as a welcome gift! There is an abundance of wildlife, I could sit there all day and watch the birds and squirrels... really comfortable lodge, especially in the winter! Thank you for a lovely visit x

Fantastic place to stay. Luxurious cabin . Little comfort things like a firestick for the TV and a great shower with comfy beds... I'll hopefully be back
