Attractions and Activities
Our self-catering holiday cottages are located in the Cowal Peninsula,
one of the most unspoiled and beautiful natural environments in Europe,
rich in history, culture and wildlife. It feels like another world, and
yet it is only an hour from Glasgow.
The Cowal Peninsula is a delightful part of Scotland bordered on three sides by sea lochs and to the north by the Arrochar Alps. It has its own unique landscape and history and an unspoiled natural environment.
A stay in Stronchullin Cottages is an ideal escape from the outside world with many activities to choose from for a perfect holiday and with the town of Dunoon with a further selection of facilities only a few miles away.
Stronchullin Cottages are an ideal base from which to explore the whole of Argyll, with Oban in the far north less than two hours by car and the Island of Bute easily accessible from the ferry at Colintraive.
Inveraray, only an hour away, is a great day out via one of the most scenic drives in Scotland along Loch Eck and the opportunity to visit several attractions at the tip of Loch Fyne. To the east, Loch Lomond is less than an hour by car.
Amazing Wildlife
The natural environment of Cowal is superb, it is beautiful to simply
soak in but it is also the place to find wildlife in plenty, from red
squirrels and red deer in the woods to porpoises, dolphins and basking
sharks in the lochs. Bird life is everywhere because of the wide range
of different habitats.
Needless to say Cowal is hugely inspirational to creative artists and craftspeople and there is a lively arts scene with many artists choosing to locate here.
Outdoor activity is easily found, from sailing & kayaking on the sheltered waters to cycling and walking in the woods. Golf, horse riding, fishing and are all available. Cowal is also the place for adventure sports including gorge walking , mountain biking, rock climbing and abseiling as well as quad biking, archery, clay shooting.
For anyone who is passionate about food, Cowal offers the best of fresh, local produce, from the seafood caught daily, to the local organic beef, poultry, game, lamb and free range eggs. Buy it and cook it yourself or have a great night out in a choice of restaurants.
But if you decide a takeaway is just what you need, there is a great choice there too, especially the local fish and chips!
