About this house rental

FERRY INN COTTAGE - situated on the beautiful Rosneath Peninsula - is a unique and historic property designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1895 for Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria.

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is just 20 miles away, Luss is 19 miles and Glasgow is a 39 mile drive. Nearest rail stations are Garelochead - 6 miles - and Helensburgh - 13 miles from where trains run to Oban and beyond, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Originally intended as the ballroom, Ferry Inn Cottage is now a self contained house, in four acres of private grounds and sitting on the shores of the Gareloch, with direct access to the shingle beach.

After extensive restoration, during which its domed / vaulted ceiling was revealed, Ferry Inn Cottage has been returned to its original configuration of a large, open space - 16 metres long and 6 metres wide.

It is zoned into living, sleeping, dining and working spaces. The living area has comfortable, large sofas, a full sized dining table, a wood burning stove. The double (4 foot 6 inches) four poster bed has a new base and new mattress.

There is a separate good sized kitchen, with gas hob, electric oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, Smeg Lavazza coffee maker and kettle. It is well equipped with utensils, dinnerware and cookware. There is a separate bathroom, with a walk in shower (no bath).

The Cottage has central heating and a wood burning stove and you will be instructed on its use. Guests will be supplied with one basket of wood with further supplies available either from the host, at cost, or from the local Coop. Now furnished with a selection of good quality contemporary and vintage furniture, including a few 20th Century design classics, this is a stylish and unique space. There is a small desk, a full sized dining table, set into a bay with views across the grounds to the loch. A new Samsung ’Serif’ television.
