THE DRUM at Dunmore - a quirky round house with a unique, contemporary design.

The DRUM at Dunmore is a stunning elliptical house with a sloping roof and high ceilings, clad in charred larch with orange window frames and painted wooden floors. Designed by architect Roderick James and built by a crack team of smashing local chaps, the Drum is a perfect bolt hole for two. It has a wood burning stove and a big squashy velvet sofa, floor to ceiling triple glazed windows and is nestled in woodland on a small estate (complete with castle) and just moments from the sea.

THE DRUM at Dunmore is a quirky round house with a unique, contemporary design. It is set in a wonderfully rural location and surrounded by nature, close to West Loch Tarbert in glorious Argyll.

Beautifully decorated with simple yet stylish furnishings, The Drum has an open plan living area with wonderful high ceilings. In this light and airy space, you can relax on the plush velvet sofa, cosy up around the wood burning stove and spot red squirrels playing amongst the trees outside.

In the curved bedroom there is a king sized bed with a Hypnos mattress, wool duvet, crisp white bedding, a chest of drawers and space for hanging clothes.

The smart shower room has a walk in rainfall shower, heated towel rail, soft fluffy towels, lovely Laura Thomas toiletries, dressing gowns & slippers.

Beautiful in its pared-back simplicity, complete with everything you'll need to rustle up feasts for you and your loved one, maybe sampling the catch of the day bought from the fishmongers in the nearby village of Tarbert, the kitchen has a 2 ring ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave, dualit kettle & toaster, nespresso coffee machine and under counter fridge / freezer.

Two sets of French doors lead out onto a patio area with a barbecue and Jotul fire pit, garden chairs and table.

It's a five minute walk to the shore where there is a table and benches for picnics or sundowners and we have beach towels and dry robes available in case you fancy a dip!
