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.

    The indoor facilities make it a house for all seasons. I hope to go back again soon.

  • Sarah

    The pool and sauna were amazing, the game's room is fantastic and the open plan living kitchen area is a brilliant space where everyone can chill together. The views are stunning in any weather. We had calm still mornings and heavy rain showers. All were a great experience through the massive glazed doors. We hope to be back at some point.

    The views were absolutely amazing, particularly during our sunny week!! There was so much wildlife to enjoy . Access to the water was good (although do take pumps or similar for the stoney shoreline.) The pool and sauna were excellent. The depth was good for swimming. In bad weather the pool would be a really good addition. After a day spent outside, it was lovely to relax with a sauna and swim. The house was very , very good! We all had a really enjoyable week.
