Argyll’s secret coast, is packed with places to visit and things to do, and sailors, walkers, cyclists and artists are all drawn to this area for its natural beauty. Explore the forests and coastline by foot, bike, kayak or boat. Abundant with wildlife with deer, buzzards, otters, golden eagles, red squirrels and even, if you’re very lucky, basking sharks while you are out and about. The whole area is steeped in Highland history and dotted with ruins, castles and ancient sites. A short drive takes you to Portavadie with its marina and the ferry to Tarbert where you can explore the Kintyre Peninsula with ferries to the islands of Islay, Jura and Arran.

We recently stayed at Fern Cottage and have to say that the cottage is in a stunning location. It sits only a few feet from the edge of the loch and is surrounded by beautiful forests. Great for dog walking! The owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful and we had everything we needed. We treated ourselves to a meal at The Ardentinny restaurant/pub and it was excellent. The customer service was very good. If you love being surrounded by nature then this is a great cottage to visit.

A really beautiful cottage which is well equipped with everything you could possibly need on holiday. Location could not be better just the width of the road to the shore with magnificent views up Loch Long and over to the sandy bay. Every day the view is different due to the light on the hills and loch together with the variety of boats travelling up and down on a regular basis.Lots of great walks along the paths on the shoreline with many more into the forestry behind the cottage. Good food available at the Ardentinny hotel about 150 yards from the Fern Cottage. We also had the privilege of seeing dolphins following the fishing boats and chasing fish not far from the shoreline. A perfect location for anyone who enjoys any form of water sports, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding or fishing which can be undertaken anywhere from the side of the loch.I could not recommend Fern Cottage more highly and would encourage anyone to go to enjoy both the cottage and the fantastic views from this location.

An absolutely brilliant stay at Fern Cottage. A lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed, in a spectacular location right on Loch Long. Very friendly, helpful owners. A lovely, quiet village with a great pub, and woodland and lochside walks from the door. Larger shops and supermarkets 10 miles away in Dunoon. You can access the village entirely by road via Loch Fyne (a lovely drive) but we cut an hour off our return journey by catching the ferry from Dunoon for £35.

We had an amazing week in this lovely cottage. The accommodation was cozy, comfortable and very clean, with everything we needed for a great week. The wood burning stove was perfect for warming up after cold, wet walks! The location was stunning, with ever-changing views over the water and we loved being able to swim in the loch every day. There are beautiful walks from the cottage, and many other stunning places to walk and swim near by. We hope to be back at some point!
