You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming rural cottage, with stove & large garden overlooking Loch Awe, Argyll.

No 2 is a perfect retreat, in a tranquil location, overlooking Loch Awe in 'Awesome Argyll'.
Looking for a relaxing break? We (and our guests!) think it’s almost impossible not to relax in the peaceful surroundings of No 2. Our charming 2 bedroom, semi-detached cottage is perfect for either 2 couples or a small family.

You will have the use of a large private garden, with outdoor seating and a small bbq, where you can enjoy the views over Loch Awe, watch (and hear!) the birds or just contemplate life!

If the weather isn’t great for outdoor living (apparently, theres no such thing as poor weather, just inappropriate clothing and footwear!😉) then just curl up with a favourite book in front of the stove.

The area immediately around No 2 is primarily forestry land with almost endless opportunities for walking, off road cycling and fishing, with necessary permits.
The property is situated approximately 23 miles from Oban (often and not without good reason, known as the Seafood Capital of Scotland and the Gateway to the Isles) on National Cycle Route 78, The Caledonia Way.

Within around an hour’s drive of No 2, there are many historical and scenic places to visit e.g. Kilchurn Castle, Kilmartin Glen, Crinan Canal, Tayvallich and other coastal villages popular with the sailing community.

For those partial to Uisge Beatha (water of life) there are also a number of distilleries within easy reach.

No 2 offers comfortable, centrally heated, accommodation for up to 4 people:
- Sitting room, overlooking Loch Awe with wood burning stove and dining area(extending table). Smart TV.
- Double bedroom overlooking Loch Awe
- King/twin bedroom (can be made up as required – please confirm configuration at least one week before arrival)
- Bed linen and towels are provided
- Well-equipped, fitted kitchen with oven, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer
- contemporary bathroom with electric shower
- Wi-fi - as this is a rural location, wi-fi connectivity can be intermittent so the best thing to do is relax and completely forget about work and the outside world!
- Large garden with patio/seating area. The garden is not fully enclosed so small children need to be closely supervised. A small BBQ is available.
- No pets
- No smoking
Please Note that as No 2 is served by a private water supply so bottled water for drinking is strongly advised. An initial supply of bottled water will be provided. The water system is maintained and tested regularly.
A torch is strongly recommended if you plan to arrive after dark. Part of the attraction of the area is the lack of ambient lighting which means that, on a clear night, star formations are clearly visible. We don't want to spoil that for our neighbours so while there is some outside lighting a torch will be useful.
Security cameras are in operation, outside the property, but will be disabled when guests arrive and only used, if needed, to check the property, during a guest stay.
No 2 is available to let for short breaks with a minimum 3 night stay.

Perfect base for exploring Argyll
Really well equipped house with beautiful surroundings. After clear instructions of how to arrive and check in we felt warmly welcomed with fresh flowers and some chocolates from Oban. Plenty of lovely walks nearby, but the house was also a great place to use as a base to explore wider, from a trip to Oban (picking up more chocolates!) to a walk up Ben Cruachan. We’d love to stay again and continue to explore. Huge thanks to Fiona and Andy for being such great hosts!!

Amazing highlands retreat
Amazing Argyll was just outstanding. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. The kitchen was equipped with just about anything you could think of, the washer/dryer was a lifesaver and the beds exceptionally comfortable. I honestly could not rate our stay high enough and wished we had stayed longer. If we ever make it back (it's a long way from Australia), we will definitely stay here and for longer. Massive thanks to Fiona for making this a special stay with a little surprise since it was my dad's birthday on our check in day.

Wunderschönes kleines Cottage in traumhafter Umgebung
Wir haben wundervolle Tage in Kilchrenan verbracht. Das Cottage ist sehr hochwertig und modern eingerichtet. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der Empfang von Fiona war sehr herzlich und sie war sehr bemüht, dass es uns an nichts fehlt. Ein großes Dankeschön für die herrlichen Blumen und Pralinen! Im Garten konnte man mit einem herrlichen Blick auf die Berge und den Loch Awe sitzen (Mittel gegen Midges ist jedoch unabdingbar). Auch ein Grill und Mückenlichter standen bereit. Wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sucht, ist hier genau richtig! Wir können es zu 100 % weiterempfehlen!

Großartig!
Das Ferienhaus liegt im kleinen Dorf Inverinan am Loch Awe in der wunderschönen Gegend Argyll and Bute. Das Cottage selbst ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber, mit neuem Bad und neuer, voll ausgestatteter Küche, herrlich großem Garten in idyllischer Ruhe und tollem Ausblick. Die Kommunikation mit der sehr netten Vermieterin war durchweg sehr gut, sie war immer erreichbar und fürsorglich. Herzlichen Dank an Fiona für den tollen Aufenthalt! Wir können das Ferienhaus absolut weiterempfehlen.
