About this property

Named after the stunning views available of the mountain from its interior, as well as enjoying a superb location along the world-famous Loch Lomond, Ben View is a fantastic family-friendly choice for a group or family of five. The property benefits from three off-road parking spaces, a front patio with furniture, where you can enjoy your morning coffee whilst soaking up the breath-taking views on offer, and a rear garden with furniture, ideal for evenings spent dining alfresco. The ground floor enjoys a stylish open-plan living space, featuring a well-equipped kitchen for whipping up your best dishes, ready to enjoy at the dining table for six, before relaxing on the plush seating in the warmth of the woodburning stove, as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a lovely single bedroom with trundle bed, and a sleek shower room, ideal for those with limited mobility. Head upstairs, to discover two further double bedrooms, one with TV, and both boasting an exceptional outlook, along with an additional shower room where you can freshen up after an adventure-filled day.

Arrochar is located at the northernmost point of the network of lochs that run north from the Clyde Estuary, at the head of Loch Long. Climbers looking to tackle the nearby mountains of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, including the popular Ben Arthur (also known as the Cobbler), have made this area their base of operations. Located about a mile and a half west of Tarbet on the shores of Loch Lomond, Arrochar is home to a wide variety of retail establishments, dining options, and watering holes. The two communities also share a train station near the valley's highest point. Activities abound in Loch Lomond, Britain's largest expanse of inland water. Take a leisurely stroll through Balloch Castle Country Park or Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and you'll be led past picturesque lochside villages and sandy bays; alternatively, the mountains provide strenuous walks and climbs for the more adventurous traveler. Helensburgh, a nearby town with wide streets, is perfect for a day trip with the kids.

    ..wonderful...wonderful. Ben View had everything you needed for our stay and I could have literally moved in. We were lucky with the weather as well, about four or five days of sunshine. This gave us a great view of the hills. The house is very spacious the downstairs being open plan as you can see on the photos. A log burner which threw out quite a bit of heat keeps it nice and cosy. Upstairs two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom with a walk in shower. There is another shower room downstairs just off the kitchen. The beds were really comfy and slept like a log. Spoke to the neighbours who were quite friendly and helpful. The Slanj is well worth a visit too. Highly recommended, fantastic property and location.

    BBQ was a bonus although we only used it once. While we were staying we had a heat wave, 26 degrees and we found that both bedrooms got extremely hot. Unberable on some occassions. The house is South facing so you would expect this however downstairs was a lot cooler? Maybe some thermal blinds on the windows would help both winter and summer. Apart from that we would recommend Ben View, lovely house and very peaceful.

    Nothing was to much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome. I'd definitely recommend this property .
