Resting where the Highlands meet the Lowlands, this fabulous
selection of Argyll cottages welcome families, couples and solo
travellers to explore a diverse region of Scotland. Argyll covers
the mainland and a group of Hebridean Islands for the best of
coastal paradises and rugged vistas that will take your breath
away.
Why Argyll?
To the north lies the picture-postcard Bay of Oban and
neighbouring Isle of Mull, with its vibrant capital of colourful
houses, Tobermory. Wander the tranquil shores of Loch Lomond in the
east, with waterside pathways, cruises and quaint villages, whilst
the idyllic Isle of Bute hosts medieval ruins and rocky bays in the
south. The peninsulas of Kintyre and Cowal are packed with
attractions, from ancient, ruined castles and dramatic sea views to
sandy bays for surfing and mellow scenery to trek or cycle. Argyll
cottages are perfect for historians, where incredible sites are
scattered across the region; Inveraray Castle, Iona Abbey, Iron Age
Forts on Jura, and Bronze Age settlements on Islay. Explore
unspoilt coastlines by boat to spot birdlife, seals, whales and
dolphins, or stay on land to marvel Argyll Forest Park, West
Highland Way or Lowland Highland Trail. Find more ideas for your
