Aird House Ardfern

Aird House is on the Craignish peninsula, near Ardfern. It's detached. The views are the main thing. You look straight out over the Sound of Jura towards Mull. You can see the Gulf of Corryvreckan from there too, where the whirlpool is.

It sleeps six, in four bedrooms. There's one bathroom upstairs with a bath and shower, and a separate toilet downstairs. One bedroom is a king size upstairs, there are two small single rooms, and a twin downstairs that can be made into a super king if you ask beforehand. It's a 4 Star place, so it's comfortable and well-equipped.

The living room and the kitchen both have those big views. There's a wood burner in the living room. The garden is enclosed, which is good if you have kids or a dog. It gets the evening sun and the sunsets can be very good.

A short walk from the house takes you down to a private bit of shoreline. It's pebbly beaches. You'll see birds. It's very quiet.

Ardfern village is about two and a half miles away. It has a pub that does food, a cafe, a small shop and post office, and a marina. You can arrange sailing, canoeing, or boat trips from there. There's riding nearby too.

For a bigger town, Lochgilphead is about a 21-mile drive. It has supermarkets, more shops, a swimming pool. Oban is further, about 27 miles north. That's where you get the ferries to the islands like Mull. If you're a golfer, there are courses at Lochgilphead, on Seil Island, and in Oban. Machrihanish is about an hour and a half south.

The house has parking. There's a washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi. Bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and highchair. No pets, sorry.
