About this property

Resting on the edge of the stunning coastline in Craobh Haven near Lochgilphead, Argyllshire is Haven House, a detached, three-storey property with a stylish interior.

With five bedrooms sleeping up to 10 people, a large games room and open plan living, the holiday home offers a contemporary retreat in the wilds of Scotland for a large family get together.

Park up in the off-road parking and marvel at your beautiful home-away-from-home, sitting elegantly against the backdrop of the sea, Jura and the Slate Islands.

Climb the stone steps and be wowed by the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout Haven House, framing scenes of the sea and distant hilltops to catch the sun setting and rising throughout your stay.

A handy utility has space for coats and boots as well as a washer/dryer, alongside a cloakroom for freshening up before heading out.

You'll find sleek furnishings in the open-plan sitting area to socialise with your loved ones or curl up with a good book by the warmth of the woodburning stove.

Excellent amenities await the family chef in the well-equipped kitchen area that features handsome grey cupboards, a large fridge/freezer, two dishwashers and a range cooker; set the coffee maker on the stove and play your favourite tracks on the sound system, whilst rustling up a heart-warming breakfast before the day's adventures.

Set the dining table for 12 to host a dinner party and toast to your spectacular retreat, before heading downstairs to the spacious games room for plenty of entertainment.

Prepare snacks in the convenient kitchenette and curl up on the sofa for a movie night on the large Smart TV, or why not challenge your family to a game of snooker, pool or table tennis?

A small alcove is a snug spot for little ones to play, whilst guests can choose from a selection of books and games; on warmer days, open the patio door to find a gravelled area backing onto the water with outdoor seating and a barbecue to make the most of the memorable views!

For the outdoorsy guests, access to the lower-ground-floor garage offers space for bikes, kayaks and fishing gear to keep your space clutter-free.

As night draws in, retire to one of five beautifully appointed bedrooms throughout Haven House, all of which have en-suite bathrooms and storage space where guests can wake up to a glimpse of Scotland's renowned scenery.

Craobh Haven is an idyllic base to explore Argyll and Bute; take a stroll around the picturesque marina, set out on the water by boat or kayak to the neighbouring islands and find a quiet spot to enjoy the sea views, followed by a drink and dinner at the seafront pub, The Lord of The Isles.

Take a short journey south to the bustling town of Lochgilphead to find a range of shops and eateries to buy the essentials or take a break from the kitchen, whilst plenty of historic sites and walking trails lie scattered around the region; embark on the stunning Dalriada Heritage Trail from Carnasserie Castle, through Kilmartin Glen and the Moine Mhor National Nature Reserve, to see incredible landmarks and ancient woodlands.

Stop off at the small, quaint village of Kilmartin for lunch and visit the nearby Standing Stones, or journey south along the coast to Crinan with its famous canal and a wealth of nearby nature reserves.

Find unspoilt landscapes at Barrandaimh: Argyll Beaver & Wildlife Visitor Centre and follow along the Beaver Trail or pack a picnic and retreat to the woodlands with Dunardry Forest Walks.

Or take a trip north to Oban, the heart of the Argyll coast, shopping and access to Mull and the distant Islands

Lochgilphead was created as a planned town and is located at the top end of Loch Gilp, which opens into the much larger Loch Fyne. Lochgilphead flourished and is now a major tourist destination with a wide range of shops, cafes, and bars. The scenery is stunning on all sides, and there are numerous scenic drives to Inverary. Throughout the year, Lochgilphead and the surrounding area host a number of festivals, and there is something for everyone here.

  • Arthur

    A perfect location with the best of view despite the raging storm. The kitchen is very well equipped to prepare and cook for large numbers. Lots of space too in the beautifully furnished open plan cosy living/dining area. The wonderful games room downstairs was used each day by us all from age 94 down. Thank you Tim for the fantastic hamper. We all had such a happy, relaxed Christmas. Thank you too to Sarah. Happy New year when it comes.

  • Emily

    The house is cosy and comfortable with everything you need for a weeks holiday. The view over the water is incredible! The paddle boards and bikes were a great addition. Tim and Sarah were both great. Communication was easy and they ensured we had everything we needed (even during a power-cut due to a storm). Couldn’t recommend Haven House enough!

  • Jane

    It has wonderful views and is in a fascinating area. It has a well fitted kitchen with all the utensils you might need.We made use of the mountain bikes and paddle boards. It has a snooker/table tennis table . Next door it has a pub - it has somewhat erratic opening times but does a good pub meal and is very welcoming. I cannot imagine a better place for a family holiday - for all ages ( we had two toddlers and an infant with us). I have no hesitation recommending it.
