About this property
Tarbert 9.4 miles. Ardpatrick South Lodge is a welcoming single-storey cottage resting in Ardpatrick near Tarbert in Argyll & Bute. Set down a private track away from the public road in a stunning rural position overlooking West Loch with parking and wraparound gardens, this romantic cottage makes an idyllic escape for couples or solo travellers. Step inside to find an open-plan living space where you can settle by the gentle glow of the woodburning stove, with soft lighting and views of the surrounding hills drawing the outside in. The well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare simple suppers after a day on the trails, before you sit together at the dining table to share plans for tomorrow’s adventures.
Afterwards, unwind on the sofa with a favourite film on the Smart TV or a cherished boxset on the Blu-ray player, while your four-legged friends doze at your feet, tired from exploring the gardens. When evening falls, the double bedroom with its en-suite bathroom, complete with bath, separate walk-in shower, basin and WC, provides a peaceful space to refresh and prepare for the day ahead. Outside, lawns wrap around the cottage, offering spots to sit with a morning coffee on the patio furniture as you watch the changing light over West Loch and breathe in the fresh Argyll air.

There is also plenty of opportunity for scenic cycling or mountain biking amogst the picture-perfect setting. Days can be spent discovering the shoreline of nearby Loch Fyne, taking in historic castles scattered through the landscape, or simply wandering the harbour at Tarbert. For further exploration, ferries from the area open up memorable trips to the islands of Islay and Arran. With dog-friendly touches and a tranquil setting, Ardpatrick South Lodge offers a fine base for enjoying this distinctive corner of Scotland.
Built around an inlet on Loch Fyne, Tarbert has long been both a harbour and a key strategic point in the history of Scotland's rugged West Coast. Tarbert once required three castles to protect it, and the ruins of one of these can still be visited today. Built around the natural harbour, fishing and sailing continue to play an important part in the life of the village. There are many annual events to interest all tastes including the sailing regatta on Loch Fyne, seafood and music festivals. The 87 mile Kintyre Way stretches from Tarbert to the south of the Kintyre Peninsula, and offers walking for all levels and with ferry connections to Islay and Arran, there is simply no better location to relax and explore this rugged and picturesque part of Scotland.
