Crubisdale

Argyll and Bute sits at the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, where woodland slopes meet water and the Cowal Peninsula opens out toward the sea. Crubisdale is a detached cottage positioned to take advantage of this landscape—the beach is just 20 yards away, and a stream runs through the enclosed garden. The setting works for families, groups of friends, or anyone after a base for serious walking and cycling.

The cottage sleeps eight across four bedrooms: a double on the ground floor, a twin room also downstairs with its own TV and DVD player, and two rooms with single beds upstairs. There are two bathrooms—one with a bath and shower cubicle. Downstairs, the living room has a woodburner (logs provided), a dining room, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking. Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. Private parking and a bike store are on site. The property is non-smoking.

Dunoon is close by, offering shops, pubs, restaurants, a cinema and swimming pools. The Botanic Gardens at Benmore are nearby, while the surrounding hills and lochs draw walkers of all abilities. A pub and restaurant sit 500 yards away; a shop is a mile down the road.
