On the western coast of the beautiful Cowal Peninsula, the village of Kilfinan offers a great escape from busy city lives. Standing in one acre of well-stocked walled gardens, this former manse dates from the early 1800s and is newly renovated and furnished to a high standard by the architect owners.
Kilfinan is only an hour and a half from Glasgow by car, only slightly longer from Edinburgh and, in the latter hour of the journey, the roads provide excellent views of the countryside and time to unwind.
Accessed by a tree-lined drive, the house enjoys views of Loch Fyne and the surrounding hills. The conservatory overlooks the child-friendly gardens, featuring a tree swing and a swing seat. To the rear, glass French doors from the kitchen lead to the hot tub and a secluded and tranquil rear patio, perfect for those al fresco breakfasts and barbecues. In the rear garden, which is not overlooked, there is a trampoline and climbing frame and plenty of space to play.
Despite being quiet and secluded, there is plenty to do and see. Whether you are looking to walk the nearby hills, enjoy the many activities available in surrounding areas, or just relax in stone-walled gardens, Kilfinan House provides a comfortable base to explore the beautiful Arygll area.
At the house, which we hope you will find a 'home from home' experience, you can relax in the sauna, soak in the Jacuzzi or enjoy cocktails in the hot tub!
Situated opposite the house, but not in view, is the Kilfinan Hotel, which offers bar meals and dinner for non-residents. The hotel also has ten bedrooms for those who may have overspill guests. http://www.kilfinanhotel.com
The house is most suited to families with children of mixed ages - all of whom are catered for with the many indoor and outdoor games facilities. Two family bedrooms increase the capacity of the house to 16. It is also ideal for sharing by five couples who love to walk, talk, wine and dine!
