About this property

Traditional Cottage In A Beautiful Peaceful Location Close To The Sea

Cnocachanach Cottage is a refurbished traditional stone cottage situated in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty (Knapdale) on the west coast of Scotland. It's located within the beautiful Ardpatrick Estate, with numerous walks starting right at the front door. Since it sits on a single-track no through-road, there's almost no traffic around making it an incredibly peaceful location. The village of Tarbert (just North of Kintyre), where there are shops, good restaurants, art galleries and sailing facilities, is just 15km away. The award-winning Kilberry Inn is just 10 minutes drive away.

Finished to a high standard, Cnocachanach Cottage provides one double bedroom (with en-suite) and an open-plan kitchen and living area with a wood burning stove.

Lovely, well equipped little cottage, comfy bed, good shower. By arrangement with the host we were able to charge our electric car, running a cable out of the window. Needs a 20m extension to get to the parking spot but you could get closer, on the grass, if it's been dry.

A warm, cosy, comfortable, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location with some nice walks from the door. It is quite remote so to explore what the wider location has to offer you should be aware that you need to drive along a single track road with frequent passing places for about 8 miles. The owner was very responsive in our communications and sorted out a minor problem very quickly. It is definitely to be recommended if you are happy to self cater most nights as there are very restricted options for eating out within striking distance.

Beautiful and remote

This is a beautiful place and the cottage is simple and comfortable. There is nothing fake here - no frills or cheap wine or plastic flowers! We can recommend it to those who are happy to walk and cook at home, and don't mind all weathers.

A peaceful stay in a place far away, with walks, water and Calmac ferries to be seen

We loved the peacefulness and sense of being far away from it all. The cottage suits an individual or couple very well and is clean and well equipped with everything required. We are swimmers so managed to get down to swim in the shallow bay a few times. The walks locally - including one to a secret beach are lovely and that beach is amazing. It is quite a bit of travelling off the main road so be prepared for that but we enjoyed our travels to Lochgilphead and Tarbert - especially the ferry over to Portavadie - which now has a new Leisure Centre (by the way)- and beyond to the Kyles of Bute etc. Trips round the coast to see Jura and the visit to the Kilberry Inn were highlights too. We also loved the rhythms of the Calmac Ferry coming back and forward as this passes the cottage/bay regularly. Many pictures were taken by the wonderful standing stone nearby which is a historic feature. Beautiful sunrises can be seen at the bay, amazing stars in the darkness and sunsets a bit further round near Kilberry.

All things bright and beautiful

What a wonderful time I spent here so peaceful and beautiful and out of this world! There are no street lights here so excellent stargazing. The house is very cosy and well equipped, nice quality towels and everything fresh and clean. Well equipped kitchen, crockery, utensils. I mainly stayed here myself and if ye need healing this is the place to come to. I spent hours outside sitting on front deck but mainly on the side/back deck watching n listening tae all the wee bird population and the wee flock of black sheep over in the field, 3 or 4 young deer appearing behing them around teatime every night, great walk to ardpatrick point or in my case cycle - its possible to cycle most of the way. There is so much to see and feel and do here. I felt very immersed in the natural world and loads of bees, butterflies n birds keeping me company. I wid take a cup of tea round to the side deck in the morning and still be there 2 hours later its so entrancing and the mediative state seems tae just happen here - it comes naturally and has such a healing energy. So many times ma heart filled wi joy. Also the deck spaces are ideal for a bit of yoga or tai chi. or just sunbathing - good, comfy, adustable chairs. Such a nice feeling to step back inside the cottage wi its massively thick walls. There are no negatives here, tho some people may struggle wi the peaty colour of the water there are bottles of drinking water provided but honestly I made all ma hot drinks, porridge etc wi tap water its perfectly safe to drink and cook with. The shower is very good. Excellent instructions provided for woodburner, tv etc I feel well restored and will definitely book here again - I canny wait!

A lovely peaceful retreat.

Very well equipped and well presented cottage. If you are looking for a relaxing location this is it wildlife on the doorstep and some nice walks. The road to Ardpatrick is single track but quiet and incredibly scenic. If you do stay you need to book a table at close by Kilbrrry Inn at same time-

A lovely location

This cottage is one of the best I've stayed in. Albeit small it's the ideal location to walk out of the door down to the Loch. The location is stunning and if you are into watersports or walking its ideal.

Very well appointed cottage in peaceful location. A great base for either total relaxation or exploring this lovely area. We saw Otters, Red Squirrels, birds and wild flowers galore and wonderful views at every turn, a real haven for wildlife lovers. Also empty beaches of white sand and crystal clear water.

Lovely remote cottage in beautiful surroundings. Loved lighting the log burner in the evenings.

We come up to Scotland most years but this was our first visit to this area. Very beautiful with islands and water around every corner. We walked across the estate to a deserted little bay where there were so many different shells to collect. We explored some delightful little coastal roads. We spent a day on Arran . Sunshine all day and a picnic on the beach. The Kintyre peninsula was less interesting. Tarbert is a nice little town for both the necessary food shopping and the numerous gift shops. The cottage was very good with lots of thoughtful little extras. A good supply on arrival of toilet paper, washing machine detergents, washing up liquid etc. When you are two people staying for only a week it is really annoying to have to buy all of these things and only use a very small amount. And thank you Annie for the pretty flowers. We enjoyed lighting the log burner in the evenings when it was raining outside, although it was not cold, the cottage is very cosy. We had some very good meals at The West Loch hotel. My one criticism relates to the bed. Maybe the mattress is quite old? We did not find that it offered us good support. ( we are both small and slim!!) so did not sleep as well as we would have hoped. Nevertheless, I would recommend this holiday home .
