General

The Gardens has a fantastic waterside position situated only a short walk from two sandy beaches making this property ideal for families with children or guests who wish to bring their dogs. This lovely four bedroom cottage can accommodate up to eight people and enjoys views towards the loch from the large sun porch which also overlooks the garden.

Ellary and Castle Sween Estates is at Lochgilphead, Argyll on the Scottish West Coast and lies between Lochs Sween and Caolisport.

The shoreline is made up of many little inlets, small islands, rocky coastline with lovely sandy beaches. A self catering holiday here offers a wonderful and relaxing location for couples, families and the adventurous too. There is much to explore along the coastline but with two large private estates covering over 15,000 acres there are great walks, pretty glens and many excellent trout lochs. Cyclists and mountain bikers will be spoilt for choice on the many quiet roads, tracks and trails. Keen anglers will enjoy fly fishing at Lochead Burn with both salmon and sea trout in abundance.
