About this apartment rental

Once a convalexcent home, the larger building was sited here to catch the sun, views and fresh air. The property was once the dancehall of the home before converted to a house in the 1960s. Recently renovated this delightful space is now ready for letting. We have installed new heating, a brand new stylish kitchen and sofas. The property comprises a lovely open plan kitchen with dining area adjacent as well as a comfortable and social area for sitting. There are extensive shared landscaped grounds around the lodge indcluding a large drying green and ample parking. Within walking distance are some of the loveliest walks in the entire Cowal Peninsular. If you like kayaking or paddleboarding, the tidal river is right across the road and kayaks or boards can easily be launched when the tide is high. If its golf on nearby 9 and 18 hole courses with fantastic views, mountain biking or walking along trails through some of Scotlands finest natural landscapes from riversides to deep forests with some of Britains tallest trees then this is the area for you. Long known as a secret destination Cowal boasts Scotland in Minature with a bit of everything, all just 45 minutes from Glasgow with the added interest of a ferry journey across the Beautiful Firth of Clyde where Dolphins, porpoises and even Orca are regularly seen. Mountain biking is a growth sport in the area with numerous challenging, Difficult, intermediate and easy trails right on your doorstep. The apartment is recently renovated and can comfortably sleep up to seven persons. The Lodge overlooks the meeting of the waters of the Rivers Echaig and Little Echaig with the Holy Loch and Cowal Hills beyond. Situated in the Argyll Forest Park and Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, North Lodge is in one of the loveliest locations in the area. The Lodge is equipped with a welcoming wood burning stove that provides a warm highland welcome after a hard day walking, mountain biking or golfing in some of Scotland’s loveliest scenery. There is room for up to 7 people to comfortably sleep in North Lodge with the addition of a folding chaise lounge and a pull out bed below the adult bunk beds meaning that the lodge could sleep up to eight persons. There are three bedrooms, two twin rooms and a large double. There is a wet room with underfloor heating when a relaxing hot shower is required to soothe aching and tired limbs while there is also an additional WC. Dunoon with its restaurants and shops is only 5 miles drive or bus journey (every hr) away while the lovely Cot House, Coylet and Whistlefield Inns are close by. The owner Alastair Rees knows the area intimately as he was brought up at nearby Rashfield Farm and went to the tiny Rashfield school which now houses Chainsaw Craft, home to one of Scotlands finest Chainsaw carvers Andy Mac.

    Property had all we needed for a weekend break away. Alastairs communication was excellent and he made sure we were kept up to date with check in and check out. Location was beautiful and close to local shops and beauty spots! We had two young children with us and they enjoyed the stay as much as the adults! If returning to the area we would stay at Alastairs again.

    Overall very lovely stay. Property was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend. Owner sent a message and called to welcome us and was helpful on the phone. We were also able to check out a bit later than 10am as there was no one following us. This was very helpful given we had my teenagers who tend to enjoy a lie-in! The views are stunning, area clean and the property is near lots of nice walks. Definitely return again and recommend if looking for a relaxing break.

    Photo of stick man in hot tub & words HOT TUB available for guest use, NO hot tub, 3 bedrooms & only 1 had curtains so woke at 4.30am by sun light. Smells of damp. Pictures on listing of log fire but 1 log, so cant use it to toast marshmallows for daughter or warm room as owner controls heating fully, you have to email if want heating on before 7am, up at 5am due to no curtains. On arriving after driving 5 hrs needed toilet, 1/3 of 1 loo roll for 4 nights stay, ower told me to buy logs as its summer, id just drove again to buy loo roll, we left after 1 night as called owner whom refused to refund 1p, only offered to pay for logs after asked for refund, absolutely ridiculously having to sit and wait to 7am for heating to come on, we had clothing, i need dried for that morning, despite host going into the listing and removing hot tub wording, i had screen shot of the hot tub with his property number on it, so luckily i wasnt able to be gaslighted, owner had me thinking i was going mad, packing swimming costumes for our hot tub holiday. theres no welcome basket, no booklet on how things work in the house and he wouldn't hear any of what we where saying, the customer was wrong, no refund at all. But he ll pay for logs only if u mention refund. bring own loo roll, curtains if staying here & a coat to wear indoors if ur up before 7am as theres no heating to dry wet clothing if youve been caught in rain. Very stressfull having to constantly email host constantly!!!!

    Once we ĝot into the property it was very homely. Refurbished in places, needs finished off and could do with a fair amount of dusting. But overall it was a lovely stay
    4.0 / 10.0
    Our stay was compromised very strongly, because we found out after 5-6 days that all sleeping rooms were moldy, which is a great health risk. In the beginning we thought it was just the smell of a house that has not been in use for a longer time. Unfortunately, we were proven wrong. If no improvements are being made to the accomodation, it is a great health risk to anybody to stay there even one night. Other than that, Scotland is a very beautiful country. Especially Puck's Glenn is beautiful and nearly mystical and a nice, rather short hike even with children. Visit the Cafe Blairmore with nice offers and try their Afternoon-Tea (which has to be pre-booked). It gives you a good impression of a wonderful Scottish Tea Time with a beautiful sight of the Firth of Clyde. :-)
