The Kennels, 3 Bedroom Cottage, Sleeps 6 with it's own bay and loch access
The Kennels sits on its own, by a secluded bay, enjoying views out over the loch. It is the best place to see much of the local wildlife from, with otters regularly playing in the bay by the house, red squirrels living in the bushes in the garden, and deer stopping to graze daily. The dining kitchen enjoys great views out over the garden and the loch, and enjoys sunshine for much of the day. The living room is a comfortable size, and features an open fire. The double bedroom is downstairs, and downstairs you'll also find the bathroom (shower over bath), and a second WC. Upstairs there are two twin rooms.
Ellary is a private estate, situated near Lochgilphead, Argyll - on Scotland's beautiful West Coast. As a guest on the estate, you have unrestricted access to the thousands of acres, just waiting to be explored. There are so many walks right from the doorstep (perfect for your four-legged friend), and if you pop up to the office, we can point you in the direction of our favourite sandy beaches and lookout points. Ellary is ideal for you if you are looking to escape, and enjoy some time out - with 13 properties spread over 4 miles, there are very few people around. Fishing is available to those who want - fishing off the rocks for mackerel is free, and we can issue permits for the Lochead Burn and hill lochs, to catch sea trout & brown trout - permits are £25 per rod, per week. We are well located for bird watching and wildlife spotting, with over 80 species of birds (including golden & sea eagles), as well as otters, seals, deer, red squirrels, pine martins, badgers - the list goes on! Photographers will enjoy the landscape the West Coast of Scotland is famous for, and can enjoy the frequent sunrises and sunsets that turn the sky pink. Drone enthusiasts will also find some great scenery to photograph, with no neighbours for miles. There is a small practice golf course on the estate, which you are most welcome to use free of charge (we can even lend you a set of clubs), and there is also a private harbour which you are welcome to make use of if you wish to bring a boat with you. You will find lots of suitable places for launching kayaks around the estate (and the otters might even join you for a paddle if you're lucky!).

Attention to detail on the cleaning the blinds on doors for instance . The property was in a beautiful area and when in need of anything the staff attentive. Property could do with a little tender loving care but didn’t take away from our stay . Unfortunately had to leave early so didn’t get our full wk either but to fault of the property
