About this property
Family Friendly Farm Cottage on Loch Awe
The property was originally (1700s) one room with a cattle byre attached and recent renovations have uncovered the original low beams of the doors where the cattle entered. Nowadays the 2 up 3 down roomy cottage benefits from all things modern! The property is surrounded by a working farm and you are likely to see red deer, cattle, native blackface sheep, pine marten, a variety of birds including eagles, barn owls and ospreys, hens and ducks amongst others out of the window. There is a private garden leading down to the stream.

About the host
Hosted by EMMA MCGRIGOR
Jamie and I live on the farm with our 4 children. We are both very knowledgeable about the area (we were both brought up on farms) and can give you lots of ideas of how to spend your days in Argyll.
Why they chose this property
The property has been lived in by a series of farming families over the last 400 years. It was originally a house one end and a cattle byre the other and is older than the farmhouse next door which features in Historic Houses of Argyll. It has great character, dings and dents commensurate with its historic age, and is still very much part of the surrounding working farm. You will see activity most days, whether we are working on the cattle, sheep, forestry or harvest.
Achlian sits above Loch Awe and is easily accessed by a tarmac drive off the main Dalmally - Inveraray road. It is a private and peaceful rurallocation, you can choose to spend the days quietly in the garden reading or take a trip to Oban, Loch Lomond, Glen Coe, Crinan Canal, the Isles of Mull and Iona, Inveraray Castle and Jail, Oban Distillery, Inverawe Smokehouse, Cruachan Power Station (the hollow mountain) - the choices are endless.
It is particularly good for children, think Swallows and Amazons. There are barbeques to be had down by the pier, wild swimming in the loch, lots of forest walks and tracks for running on the farm too.
The cottage is connected to fibre broadband so it is easy to work from home with a fast and reliable connection
