Attractions and Activities
Located in a beautiful open woodland park setting mid-way between Loch
Eck and the Holy Loch, the cabins are just 10 minutes drive from the popular
seaside town of Dunoon. The magical Pucks Glen is nearby
and the Botanical Gardens of Benmore are a short traffic-free
walk from the cabins.
An area of outstanding natural beauty it has been popular with visitors since Victorian times, when steamers brought visitors 'in their droves' for sunshine, sand, ice cream, boating, the great outdoors.
Ostel Bay, near Tighnabruiach, is a secluded beach off the beaten track and only accessible (first by road, then) on foot, and the Isle of Bute, Rothesay Castle and Mount Stuart are great for a day out.
The Argyll Forest Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Highland scenery is truly breathtaking. After just a few days break all your worries will melt away. Delight in extraordinarily special scenery at every turn. The sunlight sparkles on the lochs, the green forest and mountains 'give you a hug'.
For those adventurous souls among you there’s fishing, cycling, boat hire and quad biking opportunities nearby; and if you want good food, wine or locally brewed real ale, there is an excellent choice of good country inns within a 6 mile radius.
Just for two
Romance your partner on a break just for two - enjoy the cosy intimacy
that only an authentic forest log cabin can offer. When the night is clear
you may witness a bright moon, or the multitude of stars as you sip on
that final glass of wine before retiring.
Dawn Chorus
Morning time, perhaps awake to the gentle braying of the lambs in the
field, the distant ‘bark’ of the Roe Deer or the dawn chorus
of forest birdlife as you begin to plan your day.
Or just stay in...
With work behind you and a need to relax, this is a great place to do
just that. Put your feet up, watch a DVD, play a game or read a book -
its good to do something different without distraction - you deserve a
break.
Gorgeous River Eachaig
Isn't this what it's really all about - getting back to nature, enjoying
the peace, tranquility, bird song and wildlife - otter, pinemartin, dipper,
heron, buzzard and eagle, red deer and roe deer have been seen locally
- go to the river early morning to perhaps glimpse these elusive creatures.
Go on... CHASE THAT WILD
