General Details
Set in the grounds of the ancient Kilberry Castle, this traditional detached cottage was once home - in Victorian times - to the estate's laundry maids.
The property's secluded woodland location is the perfect base from which to explore Argyll - within easy reach are Tarbert, Lochgilphead, the Mull of Kintyre, Loch Tarbert and Loch Fyne.
The cottage was completely renovated in 2001 and offers holiday accommodation of a very high standard for up to 6 adults.
Through the trees there are beautiful views across the sea to Gigha, Islay, Jura and the coast of Ireland in the distance. You can be walking on a beach on the West Coast of Scotland within only a few minutes.

Leisure
Kilberry Castle has been home to the Campbell family for over 400 years, its wooded grounds extending to some 15 acres - carpeted with snowdrops and bluebells in spring.
A short walk across 2 fields leads to a lovely sandy beach. There is an abundance of wildlife here and the whole area offers ideal terrain for walking and cycling.
Local places of interest include archaeological sites, standing stones, forts and castles. There are opportunities to enjoy golf, sea and loch fishing, pony trekking, clay pigeon shooting, stalking [in season] and ferry trips to the islands.
