Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Appin (6mls NE), Northern Scotland

This delightful ground floor apartment in the heart of the Scottish West Highlands is set against a breathtaking backdrop that includes majestic mountains, rivers and lochs, making it a great location for a romantic getaway. Despite the property’s peaceful location, it is situated within a mile of the small villages of Duror and Kentallen, so the village shop is not far away. Whatever the season, there is a vast range of outdoor activities on offer, from golf and cycling in the summer to skiing and hiking in the winter, plus many more.

Keen mountaineers will be pleased to know that Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, is only 27 miles away and for Munro-baggers, Ben Sgulaird is only 17 miles away. This property is also close to the popular and picturesque towns of Glencoe (10 miles), Fort William (19.5 miles) and Oban (25 miles) which are all set amongst some of Britain’s most spectacular scenery. One of three self-contained properties in this 19th Century house, this apartment is located on the ground floor.

This well-presented apartment has an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, but they are separated by archways, creating a sense of space. The lounge has impressive views from the large windows, but of an evening, you can pull the curtains and sink into the comfortable sofas. The dining area has ample seating for two guests and the modern kitchen is well-equipped.

Moving into the king-size bedroom (can be made up as two twins on request), you will find yet more views of the delightful countryside, whilst the modern, white bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, there is dining furniture in the extensive grounds, which you share with guests in the other properties, so that you can sit and soak up the tranquillity and views of the surrounding countryside. You are also welcome to wander around and enjoy the beautiful garden.
