Ardrhu Cottage is a cosy cottage situated within walking distance of the town of Dunoon, with its many facilities, and is a great base from which to explore The Cowal Peninsula. This stunningly beautiful area has a wide range of activities on offer, with Dunoon offering a good centre for shopping, leisure facilities and a small cinema. The Argyll Forest, part of the simply gorgeous Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, is on the doorstep and has numerous forest tracks, marked walks, cycle ways and wonderful waterfalls to explore. Walkers should seek out the newly opened Cowal Way; a long distance walk running from Portavadie to Arrochar. Explore Argyll’s Secret Coast with its sparkling sea lochs, romantic ruins, ancient forests and stunning scenery. This coastal route takes you through some of the most stunning parts of Argyll’s Secret Coast; a magical undiscovered corner of Cowal.

A number of public gardens are located in the area, such as Ardkinglas, Crarae and Benmore Botanic Gardens with its avenue of giant Redwood trees. There are three golf courses available locally and many opportunities for a spot of fishing. At Colintraive there is a short ferry crossing over to the picturesque Isle of Bute and a visit to the fabulous Victorian Gothic Mount Stuart House is a must. Tighnabruaich has a RYA sailing school and a selection of small shops. Inveraray is also a great day out with the Castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll and the 19th century Inveraray Jail, both well worth a visit. Beach 400 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 400 yards.

Lovely wee cottage, extremely well thought out and put together, and I greatly enjoyed my stay.

Lovely wee cottage, extremely well thought out and put together, and I greatly enjoyed my stay. They’ve gone the extra mile leaving dog treats for my dog, coffee pods for the coffee maker , condiments etc that create a great first impression. The shower was fantastic, the kitchen well equipped and overall the owners have done a great job as the cottage was spotlessly clean. The only negatives are I would say the mattress isn’t the best I’ve ever slept on and there was a disappointing lack of firewood, not enough for even one evening. I bought more firewood locally and the log burner was fantastic, really making the cottage cozy and warm. One suggestion I have is to include recycling information, ie what goes in what bin, in the welcome pack as it’s very confusing if your new to the area as different council areas have different policies, bin colours etc.
