Up to 11 guests are welcome to stay at the five-bedroom home that nestles in beautiful gardens and enjoys access to a tennis court and fishing along the River Auchalick.

 

Enter the charming country home to find a bright, enticing interior, with both period characteristics and contemporary features.

You’ll find this superb room offers great space for preparing mouth-watering meals for your party, as well as dining together at the long table.

Find a cloakroom with WC, laundry room and larder also on the ground floor, plus a drying cupboard and inner hall with generous space for boots and coats. Head up to the light and airy first floor, where there are four comfortable bedrooms. Two of these have en-suite bathrooms, two others have en-suite shower rooms and there is also a family shower room. Climb up to the second-floor level to find your final bedroom, together with a games room, with small billiards table and TV, which teenagers will adore. Enjoy watching the children in your group have the freedom to run around outside on the great expanses of grass in your garden.

Another lovely stay! Our 3rd visit and it did not disappoint. Great for multi-generational groups with the play room and 2 lounge spaces. Great spot to explore the Cowal Peninsula.

We had an amazing family holiday in this beautiful, well equipped, spacious house. There was plenty of room for us all to move around, sit together and generally relax. We had amazing weather, so spent a lot of time outdoors, but, with the size of the property, with the games room, there would have been enough to do if the weather had been poor. YoRead moreu need to be prepared for how remote it is, and the long track up to it, but come prepared and you will have a superb holiday. Hide

Wonderful house in a rural location with lots of outdoor space. The kitchen, sun room is large and warm, perfect for 7 adults and 2 dogs. We also enjoyed the more formal lounge in the evening for reading and family quizzes and games. The bedrooms were very comfortable and it was a luxury having our own shower room/bathroom. The tennis court and gamRead morees room were ideal for our sport loving family and were well used. The beach is a good dog walk and to walk off all the excess calories! Hide

Acharossan is a beautiful home & has been carefully updated to bring it into the 21st century. It is in a very remote & beautiful location. A true home from home, we felt so relaxed & away from the stresses of our real lives. We truly recharged our batteries. Top tip- go prepared, it's a 1 hour drive to a supermarket (Dunoon), although there are 2 Read more(good) local general stores 20 & 25 mins drive away. Go here for wild beauty, remoteness, great walking, stunning coastline, and a fab home & garden. Hide

The house was perfect for our party age range 6 months to 63 years! Lovely large house which was very comfortable. It is remote so be prepared but that adds to the charm. There were a couple of maintenance issues but they were reported to Gillian the housekeeper who got straight into it. Thank you Gillian for your help.
