Craigdhu Farmhouse, Ardfern, Argyll, Scotland
This most attractive old farmhouse is only yards from the beach at the head of Loch Craignish in a beautiful part of Argyll. Standing by itself, with no other property nearby and almost an acre of gardens to explore, Craigdhu is a most comfortable house and a delightful place to holiday at any time of the year.
Built around a central courtyard, Craigdhu takes its name from the dramatic black basalt dyke immediately behind the house. Once the principal farmhouse of Barbreck Estate, now it is a spacious self-catering family home with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, sleeping nine. From the upstairs bedrooms and the large games room there are superb views across the loch. You will see Red squirrels around and many birds close up (feed is provided).
With the village shop less than a mile down the road, a choice of good local restaurants and pubs, and many things to see and do nearby, you'll find that Craigdhu is a wonderfully convenient and interesting place to enjoy a Scottish holiday. Should you not want to use the boats provided, there are plenty of other opportunities for getting afloat - you could take the ferry from Oban and spend a day on Mull or Iona, or go whale watching on Britain's most powerful wildlife charter boat - one of many boat trip options. Two world famous golf links are within easy reach, the Machrihanish near Campbeltown and the Machrie on Islay.
Nearby there is a wide choice of walks, superb gardens and some of the most amazing prehistoric sites in Scotland, plus famous castles and the extraordinary Inveraray Jail.
