The Gate Lodge, Strachur,
Loch Fyne, Argyll, Scotland

With spectacular views down Loch Fyne towards the hills of Kintyre, this 18th century, single storey stone lodge stands just across the road from a pebbly shore, and has its own small enclosed garden.

A former gate house, set in the extensive grounds of the Strachur Estate's Adam-style mansion, it provides a cosy and comfortable base for exploring the lovely Cowal Peninsula and Argyll countryside. Woodland walks though the grounds can be enjoyed from the doorstep.

All on one level you enter through a small Porch.

On the right of the porch you will find the Sitting Room (right) with an open fire, TV/VCR and cd/cassette player.

There is a small fully equipped galley-style Kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge freezer, crockery, cutlery, kitchen utensils and glassware. There is also a washing machine.

The formal Dining Room (below right) with a distinctive Highland Lodge décor has a view across Loch Fyne.

The Bedroom (left) has a 6' wide bed and two windows, one overlooking Loch Fyne, the other looking towards Strachur House.

The Bathroom has a full sized bath with electric over-bath shower.
