The Lodge is a modernised three bedroom character cottage set in a stunningly scenic private estate at the mouth of Lochead Burn, overlooking the Sound of Jura and Loch Sween. The perfect place for ‘getting away from it all’ this cottage is situated in a remarkably picturesque, peaceful and secluded location with views across the water towards rolling hills and distant mountains. For those who enjoy walking and appreciate local flora & fauna, just head along the hill road where you could see a variety of wildlife such as deer, foxes and red squirrels. Walking closer to the water, heading towards Castle Sween, you might even be lucky enough to spot otters or seals. A truly beautiful spot.

The Lodge has three bedrooms set over two floors and sleeps up to 6 people in two twin rooms and one double bedroom. Perfect for a family or a group of friends, the lodge is particularly popular with anglers, walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers. The ground floor has a modern fully fitted kitchen with electric oven & hob, microwave, refrigerator, deep freezer and a dishwasher. There is a separate dining room and a comfortable living room with a warming open fire and views in 3 directions from its large picture windows. There is a utility room with a washing machine and a family bathroom with bath (shower over) WC and wash basin. The upper floor is accessed via a spiral staircase and has twin room plus a separate double bedroom with an en suite WC. The Lodge has a large enclosed garden with hedges to the front and fence to the back. At one side of the cottage, the generous decking area catches the sun and is the perfect place to enjoy views out over the loch. Private parking is available for two cars at the property. Free Wifi, TV with Sky Freeview & DVD are provided.

A self-catering holiday here offers an interesting and relaxing location for couples, families and the more adventurous too. The nearby shoreline is made up of numerous small inlets, little islands and lovely sandy beaches. Located in the midst of two large private estates, covering over 15,000 acres, there are lots of great walks, pretty glens and many excellent trout lochs to discover. Cyclists and mountain bikers will be spoilt for choice on the quiet roads, many tracks and winding trails. Keen anglers can enjoy fly fishing nearby at Lochead Burn which has salmon and sea trout in abundance. Also, as there is no light pollution here it is the absolutely perfect location for star-gazing. The Lodge is dog friendly, so you can bring your four legged friends along too and make this a truly unforgettable getaway.

There is a small shop for provisions, a low-key restaurant and relaxing Lounge Bar at the Castle Sween Holiday Park, about 3 miles down the road if you fancy some company or a meal out (takeaway service is available) and a little further away the town of Lochgilphead has a decent size supermarket. For a scenic drive, the pretty town of Tarbert has quite a few shops and cafes, plus some art galleries and restaurants overlooking its picturesque historic harbour. Whilst you’re there you can also visit Robert the Bruce's 14th century castle which sits above the harbour town. Heading further north you can explore the Crinan Canal and the village of Tayvallich where you might be lucky enough to spot some beavers. From Crinan, why not go on a boat trip to visit the amazing Corryvreckan Whirlpool which is situated between Jura and Scarba, or a longer drive will take you to the busy seaside town of Oban where you can sample the freshest of seafood (that day’s catch) right there on the docks. A visit to the lovely white sandy beach at Kilmory is also highly recommended during your stay.

The Ellary and Castle Sween Estates are located at Lochgilphead, Argyll on the Scottish West Coast between Lochs Sween and Caolisport. Stunning scenery, beautiful mountain ranges, breath-taking lochs, excellent walks, fishing and an abundance of wildlife make The Lodge a beautiful and memorable place to stay.
