CREAG-an-FHITHICH (pronounced craig-an-eeoch) meaning 'Rock of the Raven', is available as a self catering holiday cottage for a relaxing or busy holiday on the sea front at Loch Melfort. When the weather is good, the sun shines on the house all day and meals can be taken alfresco, even out of season. The beautiful views of the loch, marina and hills with the isles of Shuna, Luing and Scarba in the distance are ever-changing. The sunsets are breathtaking.

The stone and slate Victorian manse was built in 1850. It has recently been modernised and turned into a comfortable house, whilst retaining its original character.
Located in the village of Kilmelford, on the West Coast of Scotland, fifteen miles south of Oban, railhead, gateway to the Isles and the famous beach at Ganavan Sands.
The area is ideal for exploring the Highlands. Walking, cycling, riding, fishing, sailing and golf are popular pursuits.
Watch the seals, cormorants, eider duck and the elusive otter, all from the garden. Fish on the sea loch from the shore in front of the house. The freshwater lochs can be fished by permit from the village Post Office.
Restaurants nearby are the Shower of Herring, at Melfort Village, the Loch Melfort Hotel, at Arduaine, the Galley of Lorn, at Ardfern, the Lord of the Isles, at Craobh Haven and The Temple in Oban. It is a half-mile walk, along the sea road, to the Post Office and shop and the Cuilfail Hotel.
Moorings are available at Kilmelford Yacht Haven (across the Loch) and at Craobh Haven (a few miles south).
Small boats can be launched across the shore in front of the house.
