About this property

On a private hill farm estate. Set in stunning scenery close to the coast.

South Lodge is a single storey self-catering holiday cottage nestled into the side of the wood. The cottage is in an elevated position looking over to the main estate house and the loch and hills beyond.

You enter the cottage up three steps to the porch where you can leave all your wellies and coats, then onto the landing which has two doors. The right hand door leads to a large comfortable bedroom with a super king sized four poster bed. The bedroom has fitted cupboards, a chest of drawers, dressing table and two double glazed windows looking out across the woods and lawns. The door to the left leads into the cosy, relaxing sitting room with log burner, smart free sat TV, docking station, comfy sofa and chair. The two double glazed windows also have beautiful views.

Off the far end of the sitting room is a door which leads to the kitchen and shower room.

The kitchen to the right is well equipped with fridge freezer, washing machine, electric cooker and microwave and all the equipment you would need to prepare food.

The shower room to the left has a large walk in Aqualisa shower with excellent pressure, basin and WC.

This charming cottage has its own garden laid mostly to lawn with a selection of garden furniture and a mobile Barbecue for summer evenings. If you are quiet you can spot the red squirrels feeding regularly off the cottages own bird table which we feed.

An open shed provides ideal storage for bikes or a roof box and room for off road parking.

There is also a large log shed and logs are provided free but some need to be split with the axe provided.

South Lodge has everything you would need and is a true ‘Home from Home’.

LODGE
Particularly enjoyed the spaciousness and comfort of the accommodation. The maps for walks in and around the estate were an unexpected bonus, which was taken full advantage of. A surprising coincidental connection to the estate owner. The flapjacks were the best we'd ever tasted (recipe?)! The only disappointment was the DVD/CD player incompatible with the TV/sound system, so were unable to enjoy the music and movies we'd brought. Otherwise, a well deserved 5 stars!

Nice cottage for 2
Very nice and helpful hosts on the farm at Loch Ederline. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and has all the essentials for a stay. You can do a lot, it's quiet and close to nature.

Just what we were looking for
Lovely cottage in fantastic location. A peaceful setting close to nature. The whole region has loads of places of interest and beautiful settings. We had our dog with us and everywhere we visited was dog friendly. A great place to go on long walks, explore historical landmarks or just relax and take things easy. I would definitely return. Having excellent weather definitely added to our experience.

About the host

Host profile image
I was born in Lochgilphead and have spent a large part of my childhood in Argyll. I am married to Angus and have three children. We took over the estate from my father in 2003. It is a fantastic way of life which we love to share with our guests and help them to see the best of the area. There is too much to do and see in a week but once you have been you will want to return!

Why they chose this property

I took over the estate from my father ten years ago and count myself so lucky to have the opportunity to care for the cottages and farming business in the most stunning part of the world. A perfect retreat to get away from the busy life that most of us lead. Ederline is a tonic to be consumed regardless of season.
