About this property
Luxury 2 bed ensuite cottage on Scottish estate pets allowed short walk to loch
Fraser Cottage is one of the Dunmore Cottages on 120 acres of peace and tranquillity on the shores of West Loch Tarbert in South Knapdale, just seven miles from the fishing village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne.
The owners purchased Dunmore House and Cottages in 2015/16 which sits on a beautiful estate with stunning views over West Loch Tarbert. They have an exciting vision for Dunmore which continues to be realised and includes the full renovation of the self-catering cottages. Their aim is to create a fabulous destination on the West Coast of Scotland providing excellent facilities with a homely feel.
The renovation of Fraser Cottage was completed in December 2018 and under the previous quality assurance system of Visit Scotland the cottage achieved 5 stars. Fraser Cottage is a luxury traditional 2 storey stone cottage. The Cottage comprises two ensuite bedrooms on the 1st floor with showers and underfloor warming in the en-suites. The master bedroom has a king size bed and the other bedroom two single beds. Downstairs the kitchen and dining area are fully equipped to the highest standard including dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine.
The living room has a wood burning stove to provide a lovely cosy feel and a 4k curved screen TV. Patio doors lead out onto the terrace (with table & chairs, gas BBQ and outdoor wood burning heater) and onwards into the garden area where you can catch the morning sun and watch, through the trees, the ferry sail by to the island of Islay several times a day.
The estate is named after the Bronze age fort which tops the spectacular cliffs above the house. These cliffs afford breathtaking views of the West Loch and out to the islands of Gigha and to Islay, famous for its whisky making.
Dunmore Cottages are a perfect vacation retreat either to relax by the open wood fires or enjoy the many outdoor activities that are available. Located on the shores of West Loch Tarbert, and only 7 miles from the picturesque fishing village of Tarbert, guests can enjoy the many hiking trails, and abundant wildlife, take a trip to the nearby Loch Stornoway sandy beach or further afield to the lovely 6 mile long Westport beach, sample the excellent area restaurants (the award winning Kilberry Inn is only 8 miles away), visit the inner Hebridean Islands of Islay and Jura, whisky tasting at the numerous distilleries, visit the historic Kilmartin Glen, walk the beautiful gardens on the Isle of Gigha or Brodick Castle on the Island of Arran.
Tarbert sports a 9-hole golf course. Horseback riding and fishing are also available locally.
Dunmore self catering cottages are very popular with couples looking for a break off the beaten track, individual families looking to go out exploring the surrounding areas or for family get togethers by renting both cottages.
Dogs are welcome in Fraser Cottage. Ross Cottage is dog free. Please note in Fraser we will accept a maximum of one large/medium dog or two small dogs.
The cottages are available year round. Lettings are from Saturday to Saturday in June, July, August, September, Easter, Whit week, Christmas and New Year; minimum 4 nights in April, May and October; out with these minimum 4 nights at other times but always ask for availability by contacting Amanda either by message, email or telephone.
Prices are inclusive of accommodation, linens, towels, cleaning, electricity and logs for the fire.
