Heatherdale

You walk into Heatherdale through the front door of a traditional Scottish house on the Argyll coast, and the layout unfolds to reveal a home built for a full household. Ground floor holds the main living spaces: a living room and dining room, a kitchen fitted out for real cooking with electric oven and gas hob, utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and the conservatory—the room that matters most here, where the windows frame Holy Loch and the garden beyond. Three bedrooms sit upstairs, two doubles and one with both a double bed and a pull-out single, sharing two bathrooms between them. Gas central heating keeps things warm, and essentials like bed linen, towels and wifi are sorted.

This is a house for six people who want their own space, a mile or so from Sandbank village and close to Ardnadam Pier. The rear garden is yours alone, and there is parking for four cars. The surrounding landscape pulls you outward: the national park at Loch Lomond and the Trossachs lies an hour or so inland, Benmore Gardens botanical displays are nearby, and the Argyll coast itself rewards exploring on foot. Smoking is not permitted inside.
