About this property
Luxury 2 bed ensuite cottage in Scottish Estate setting, short walk to loch
Ross 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 Castle 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 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.
Ross Cottage is a luxury traditional stone cottage all on one level, which has recently been renovated to a very high standard. Under the previous quality assurance system with Visit Scotland Ross Cottage achieved 5 stars. The Cottage comprises two en suite bedrooms with underfloor warming in the en suites. The Blue Bedroom has a walk-in shower and large bath. The white bedroom has a walk-in shower en suite. Both bedrooms have king size beds. The kitchen and dining room are fully equipped to the highest standard including dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine. A 60" curved screen TV is in the living room with views out through the trees to the West Loch.
In the courtyard there is an outdoor table, chairs, gas BBQ and outdoor wood burning heater available for exclusive use by the guests staying in Ross cottage.
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 for couples looking for a break off the beaten track, individual families or why not rent both cottages for a family get together.
Ross Cottage is dog free. Dogs are welcome in Fraser Cottage.
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 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.
