Walking and hiking is available at all levels from walking by lochs and burns through wooded glens, to hiking the Munro’s and Corbett’s, especially the world famous Ben Arthur (The Cobbler), which features the most distinctive outline of any mountain in the Southern Highlands. Access to these hills and walks starts from the door at Ben Bheula with the footpath starting right next to the house.
Mountain biking routes are available, again, from the door, with way marked routes on forest tracks.
There are many picturesque towns and villages in the area such as Inveraray, with its fairytale castle and the nearby renowned Oyster Bar at Loch Fyne. Towards Dunoon the botanical gardens at Benmore offer many rare species of trees and shrubs, including giant redwoods!
Only a 12 minute walk around the Loch you can relax with the locals in Ben Arthur’s Bothy, the local pub where your dog is also welcome! A short ferry ride can also be taken from Tarbet across Loch Lomond to conquer Ben Lomond !

We fell in love with the property, as there is a fantastic feeling of seclusion, which gives a feeling of being in the middle of nowhere, yet we are only 1 hour from Glasgow !

There is nothing more relaxing than enjoying a coffee in the morning, whilst sitting in the conservatory admiring the views.

The village of Arrochar itself is great, with a number of good pubs/bars and eateries.

Within a half hour drive, there are plenty of sights, activities and dining options, whilst some of the best walking and climbing in the area is literally right on the doorstep.
