There is no waterfront access from directly in front of the property.. This lovely, spacious, detached property has loch views to the front from the living room, sun room and bedroom, and views of the hills and spring to the rear. It offers an excellent base for touring the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, arguably one of the most scenic parts of Scotland. Accessed by a gravel road, Rowan House is just yards from the rugged shores of Loch Sunart, and there are plenty of leisurely walks, forest paths, water sports and cycle tracks close by.
Please note, however, that there is no waterfront access directly in front of the property, but there are plenty of places along the peninsula to access the loch, including a short walk to the end of the bay. Advice on where to access the loch can be found in the property. The RSPB reserve at Glenborrodale is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with wood warblers, redstarts and spotted flycatchers often seen.
An abundance of wildlife can also be spotted, including whales, dolphins, otters, golden eagles and pine martens. Take a trip to Ardnamurchan Point lighthouse and visitor centre, explore the white sandy beaches at Sanna Bay, or visit the wonderful wildlife exhibition and café at Ardnamurchan Natural History Centre. Catch the foot ferry from nearby Salen to Tobermory on the Island of Mull, or there is a regular car ferry from Kilchoan to Tobermory.
The beautiful islands of Rum, Egg, Canna and Skye can be reached by ferry crossings from the small fishing port of Mallaig, or Kentra Bay, and the Singing Sands at Gortenfern make for a great day out. There are numerous ruined castles, gardens, museums, distilleries and galleries to explore, whilst Fort William, Glencoe and Oban are also accessible. Shop, pub and restaurant 3 miles.

Very good

We booked through home and away so was surprised that all communication subsequently came from cottages.com ( who were obviously the property manager) and then discovered that if I had originally booked with them the cottage would have been cheaper- which was annoying . Also disappointed that due to a local land dispute a nearby resident had erected a fence and we were unable to access the Loch near the cottage
