Outside, we have lovely grounds with mature trees, azaelias and rhododendrons. A wee burn with bridges runs through the garden and there is a Victorian vegetable plot which we are putting to good use for the kitchen!

For those occasional very damp Argyll days, we have an extensive library, lots of board games and a selection of delicious munchies so you can curl up beside the fire and forget the weather - although watching the sea is great on any kind of day.
