About this property

Super Pet-Friendly, Loch Front Cottage with Direct Loch Access and Games Room

  • Craig-Na-Barnach
    Set right on the shores of Loch Fyne, Craig-Na-Barnach is a wonderful home-from-home offering space, comfort and spectacular waterfront views. With the garden gate leading directly onto the shoreline, it's a truly special place to relax, explore and enjoy the beauty of Argyll.
    Inside, the cottage offers two inviting living spaces. The formal living room features a comfortable sofa and TV with BT Sport — ideal for quiet evenings or catching a game. Across the hall, the cosy snug with leather sofas and a wood-burning stove provides the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring.
    At the rear of the cottage is a bright and spacious dining kitchen, well equipped for everything from simple breakfasts to special meals. It includes quality KitchenAid accessories (including a stand mixer) and enjoys lovely views across the loch, with patio doors opening onto the decking and garden. A separate utility room provides a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, large fridge and separate freezer, while the downstairs wet room is ideal for rinsing off after a swim or paddle in the loch.
    Upstairs you'll find two comfortable double bedrooms and a second bathroom featuring a bath — perfect for a long soak after a busy day outdoors.
    Outside, the cottage really comes into its own. The enclosed garden and decking area offer comfortable outdoor seating and uninterrupted views across the loch. The garden gate opens directly onto the shore, making it perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding or simply enjoying the wildlife. Otters, seals, porpoises and herons are regularly seen here, and occasionally even sea eagles pass overhead.
    A separate games room in the summerhouse at the rear of the garden includes a pool table, darts and board games — all with beautiful loch views and a perfect vantage point for watching the sunset on long summer evenings.
    Craig-Na-Barnach is ideal for couples or two couples travelling together, offering plenty of space for everyone to relax.
    Dog Friendly
    Dogs are very welcome at Craig-Na-Barnach — we believe family holidays should include the whole family. Bowls, blankets and cleaning equipment are provided to make travelling with pets easy, and the downstairs flooring is practical for muddy paws.
    There are no restrictions on size or breed, and dogs are charged at £10 each per stay. We simply ask that you confirm the number in advance and leave the property clean and tidy on departure.
    The rear garden is enclosed with fencing approximately 120 cm high (with gates at around 100 cm), designed to keep most dogs safely contained.
    Other pets may also be considered — please feel free to enquire.
    Explore the Area
    The surrounding area offers fantastic walking and cycling opportunities, with miles of routes accessible directly from the cottage. Quiet forest tracks make it easy to explore by bike without needing to use main roads.

3rd time here - very highly recommended in every way

Once we found this place, we cannot go anywhere else, despite the 500 mile drive to get there. The cottage itself is set up with everything you need - and not just the facilities the appliances are awesome. (The toaster, the kettle all top notch) Everything you could ever need is provided. The cabin is amazing with so much to do: Snooker, darts, football table, lots of board games, books, literally everything. Comfy seating in and out of cottage. Throws provided. Super dog friendly - we have a whippet and pugs and they are fine to be let out in the garden. They love it and think it is their 2nd home now. Backs onto loch, you could not ask for better views. You can walk down the loch straight from the back of the cottage. Watch out for jelly fish, my dog dig get stung, so keep an eye on them. (was all good though) One of my dogs is reactive, so is amazing to have this private space and literally walking around this area you do not meet anyone! Recommend local shop - great take away drinks and all every day essentials, along with a cafe. Caitlin who is the 'host' is amazing and promptly responds to any questions. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We have been to 'dog friendly' places before, however they are more 'dog tolerant' than friendly - this place is set up and perfect for dogs, however reactive they may be. (and trust me what a relief this is) Oh and welcome back well received, wine, fudge, dog chews, biscuits, just a nice thing to come into. So I 100% recommend this place and pretty sure we will be visiting again in the near future. Thanks Fyne Management and Caitlin, you are the best :)

Lovely, very well equipped cottage - they really have thought of everything you could possibly need.....and more!! The games room was a very welcome addition, especially on wet days! The views are amazing! Inverary is a lovely town, with a variety of eating places.....recommend The George and Brambles.
