About this property
Dolphin Run - Refurbished Luxury Lodge
Situated in the hills above the Holy Loch, we are on the edge of the holiday park with whom we have no affiliation as we are privately owned, though they do allow visitors paid use their facilities. We are a twenty minute ferry ride from Gourock.
On arrival you will find yourself in an idyllic setting, surrounded by stunning views. The lodge is accessible via two small steps to the deck straight from the car parking area. There are decks to the front and rear with seating and dining areas over looking our fab views.
Well behaved dogs are very welcome
The lodge is one of a small group located in a beautiful woodland setting . It is tranquil with stunning views and it is not unusual to find yourself face to face with one or more of the local deer or the several red squirrels who frequent our deck looking for nuts. There are many walks around the surrounding area, with the Argyll Forest Park, Pucks Glen and Benmore Gardens within minutes, and of course the amenities of Dunoon are a short drive or bus ride away with restaurants, cafes, shopping etc
The welcoming interior consists of a centrally heated spacious open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen. All rooms are furnished to a very high standard. The kitchen has modern units, a full size fridge freezer, modern oven and hob, kettle, microwave and coffee machine. As this is our holiday home too, we have added quality and touches you might not normally find in a rental. Bedroom 1 has a comfortable king size bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. Bedroom 2 has a comfortable double bed, wardrobe, dresser etc Towels, bed linen are provided and of good quality. The modern well appointed bathroom has a walk-in shower, with wc and vanity. Free WiFi. The lodge has multiple inbuilt USB charging points, smoke detectors, fire extinguisher and first aid kit.
We have a large wrap round deck with table and chairs on one side and seating etc overlooking the Holy Loch.
Dogs are welcome and they can bring well behaved owners :)

About the host
Hosted by John Colee
I live with my wife Carol and two golden retrievers just outside Glasgow where we run an IT company which, to say the least, can be a little bit stressful at times. Dunoon, and in particular the Holy Loch, has become our bolt hole, and I don't think I could ever adequately describe the feeling of catching an early Friday evening ferry and sailing across the Clyde leaving the weeks hassles at McInroy's Point to be picked up on the way back :) . The trip itself is calming and even though you are only twenty minutes from the mainland it feels like another world .
