Spectacular island views from a comfortable hillside farmhouse on a 50 acre working farm. Photo shows view from front of house.

GLENAHUIL is a delightful place for a peaceful self catering holiday. The isolated 130 year old stone farmhouse which is fully modernized is at the top of a track overlooking the mountainous Island of Arran.

There are 5 miles of forest to the north, and a beautiful sandy beach on the way to the picturesque village of Tighnabruaich. A sailing school, an art gallery, 3 hotels/pubs and a restaurant serving gourmet food, post offices and village stores as well as a 9 hole golf course are to be found there.

A fully equipped kitchen with fridge-freezer, a second refrigerator, an oven and 4-plate electric range, microwave, coffee maker and toaster.

Pets:
Dogs must be on a leash around the sheep/cattle. There would be a pet deposit collected on site of £25 which will be refunded if there is no excess cleaning/damage.

Location:

There are 2 routes from Glasgow: 90 miles by road beside Loch Lomond, over the beautiful Rest and Be Thankful Pass, to Strachur on Loch Fyne and down Glendaruel to the head of Loch Riddon. Alternatively one can take the ferry from Gourock across the Firth of Clyde to the Cowal Peninsula (I prefer the Western ferries short crossing) and it is 50 miles from the Glasgow airport up Holy Loch to the road which winds around the head of Loch Striven and ends at Loch Riddon, joining the other route as they pass over the "High Road" overlooking the Kyles of Bute to get to Tighnabruaich and further along the shore to Glenahuil. Both are equally scenic and should not be missed.
There are 2 beautiful botanic gardens, a croft museum, horse riding, walking trails, Inveraray Castle, and many picnic spots within 2 hours, some by ferry to Tarbet from Portavadie.
Kilbride Bay (2 miles from Glenahuil) has a mile wide sandy beach - wonderful for shelling or beach games or taking long walks when the tide is out.
Loch Lomond is 1.5 hrs away with its loch steamer and Ben Lomond climbing.
One can arrange deep sea fishing trips and fly fishing in the season.
Tighnabruaich was voted "Prettiest village in Argyll in 2002".
