About this property
The Prince - UK42204
A truly unique break for couples on a beautiful historic wooden boat.. All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Freeview TV
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher
Bedroom: Kingsize (5ft) Bed
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Attachment, Toilet. LPG central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Superfast Wi-Fi (137 Mbps) included. Welcome pack. . Front garden with firepit. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. The Prince is a beautifully restored wooden historic boat and is situated in the quiet hamlet of Glendaruel on Argyll’s secret coastal trail. The owners previously lived on The Prince for five years and have now given her a new lease of life on land! A rare chance to stay aboard a unique property with superfast Wi-Fi and beautiful private views of Glen!
Argyll’s Secret Coast with its sparkling sea lochs, romantic ruins, ancient forests, and stunning scenery is one of the most stunning areas, a magical undiscovered corner of Cowal. The beautiful village of Tighnabruaich, with stunning views over the loch to the Kyles of Bute, is close by, and Portavadie Marina with restaurant and spa facilities is open to non-residents. The ferry to Tarbert can also be taken from Portavadie to explore the beautiful Kintyre Peninsula. Walkers should seek out the newly opened Cowal Way, a long-distance walk running from Portavadie to Arrochar. The town of Dunoon is nearby and offers a good center for shopping, leisure facilities, and a small cinema.
The Argyll Forest, part of the simply gorgeous Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, is on the doorstep and has numerous forest tracks, marked walks, cycleways, and wonderful waterfalls to explore. For those a bit more adventurous, the ferry at Colintraive to Rhubodach takes only 3 minutes to cross the sea loch and arrive on the Isle of Bute, a famous tourist destination over the years with many attractions such as Mount Stuart House and Gardens, as well as the Victorian seaside resort of Rothesay. Loch Fyne with its famous restaurant and oyster bar is not far away, as is Inveraray; both great for a day trip. Beach 10 miles.
This property can be booked together with Hobgoblin Apartment (UK42205) to accommodate up to 4 guests.
There are steps or steep slopes in the garden.

Great feeling to be on boat
You are staying on a boat on land however it was modernised with flushing toilets and hot water and heating. Hosts Lynette and Angus were lovely and could not do enough for us, loved our welcome treats and nice touches throughout the boat. Perfect for a couple with medium size dog. Would give Hope to be back again. Thank you for the amazing stay
