Dalmore Cottage - Detached cottage with stunning panoramic views
Cottage with 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Garden
Dalmore Cottage is a stylish comfortable holiday home. From its exceptional location at the high point of Crinan Village there are outstanding panoramic views to the West looking out over Jura, Scarba, Mull and the Gulf of Corryvrecken, and to the North across Loch Crinan to Duntrune Castle.
The property provides the ideal base for outdoor activities exploring this beautiful area of the West Coast of Scotland. Activities on the doorstep include walking, mountainbiking along forest tracks, sailing and other watersports as well as the important historic sights of the area. A path leads from the edge of the property down some steps to the waterfront at Crinan Harbour, where there is also a small beach. A much more extensive, beautiful sandy beach is to be found at Crinan Ferry, a 5 mile drive. Set in 3/4 acre of ground and located at the end of a no-through road it provides a high degree of seclusion and privacy.
The property has been furnished to a very high standard, with quality furniture and designer fabrics.
The spacious lounge is bright and airy with windows on two sides. To the West patio doors lead out onto a balcony area enjoying the exceptional views to Jura Scarba and Mull, as well as much foreground interest with Crinan Island and the many yachts which frequent Loch Crinan. The lounge and adjacent balcony are ideal for watching the sunsets. The balcony area is equipped with a teak table and chairs and a barbecue.
There is a large open plan kitchen/dining room, a particularly bright room with windows on 3 sides. An oak table provides seating for 6. The property will sleep six in flexible accomodation. There is a double bedroom with a King size bed, a twin bedroom and a third bedroom which can be used either as a double or a twin. A cot is also available. 2 of the 3 bedrooms enjoy the Loch facing views.
Children are very welcome, and are welcome to use the fort with swings and a slide, in the adjacent owners property.
