About this house rental
Old Kilmun House was built by the Duke of Argyll in 1696 with stonework dating back to an earlier 16th or 17th Century house. The property was owned and lived in during the late 19th Century by sugar magnate, collector, philanthropist and founder of Benmore Gardens, James Duncan, and then by the Younger family. James Duncan planted 6 million trees at Benmore, but many of the finest were those he planted in the garden at Kilmun. The whole garden is yours to explore, see if you can find the tree swing or the table and chairs carved from a tree that had lived a few feet away for over 50 years.
It was the Younger family who added the separately owned Victorian extension to the west side of the house. Our lovely neighbor Matthew lives in the extension, if you bump into him, feel free to ask him about any of the rare trees or birds in our garden.
Please note, use of our Yurt costs an additional £200, but is included in our Retreat packages.

Wow, what a location and house. We stayed here with 3 families and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house is located overlooking the Holy Loch and old Kilmun church. Lovely to wake up to the birds every morning. Very peaceful. The house has everything you need, full kitchen and laundry and with 3 bathrooms everyone was happy. The teens loved using the spa while the adults loved sitting in the formal lounge. About a 15 minute drive into the main town of Dunoon. The only thing I could say needs improving is the kitchen could do with a clean out - lots of food products left in there when the rules state no food is to be left in the house and the pots and pans on the open sheaves need a good scrub. We would stay here again.
