 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, where the picturesque village of Tighnabruaich is home to a sailing school, an art gallery wth summer painting classes, 4 hotels/pubs and a restaurant (where one can find gourmet food), a 9-hole golf course, and from where one can arrange deep-sea or fresh water fishing.
Accommodation  Two reception rooms and a conservatory. A full kitchen, with a small refrigerator and a fridge freezer, microwave, full electric range and oven, an open fireplace, electric central heating, a colour TV, outdoor furniture with a picnic table. Three bedrooms - 2 with double beds and one with 3 singles. 2 bathrooms with electric shower. There is no smoking. Pets are allowed. Linens and towels are provided for £5 per person. 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 Loch Fyne, or 50 miles by ferry and single track road around Loch Striven to the head of Loch Riddon. 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. Loch Lomond is 1.5 hrs away with its loch steamer and Ben Lomond climbing. Weekly steamer to Arran in summer. Tighnabruaich was voted "Prettiest village in Argyll in 2002". Photo shows the Kyles of Bute, Tighnabruaich
(on both routes, 6 miles from Glenahuil).
