The Lodge

Argyll, United Kingdom[view map]

The Lodge has seven double rooms in the main house (each named after Hebridean islands) and a two-person summerhouse next to the loch. All rooms have en suite bathrooms except Islay and Jura, which are self-contained and share a large bathroom. All rooms have period features from the early 20th Century Arts and Crafts movement.

Arran bedroom: Large double bedroom with loch views and a spacious en suite bathroom with free-standing roll-top bath. Bute bedroom: Large double bedroom with loch views and en suite bathroom. Coll bedroom: Smaller wood-panelled bedroom with en suite bathroom; sunny in the mornings. Iona bedroom: Light and airy double bedroom at the back of the house with en suite bathroom. Islay and Jura bedrooms: These two bedrooms are a bit more self-contained and share a large bathroom; they’re ideal for a couple with children. Mull bedroom: This wood-panelled double bedroom is snug and cosy and has an en suite bathroom. Summerhouse: The secluded, red and white summerhouse is at the far end of the garden; it has a small kitchen and a barbecue on the deck built over the water.


Living room
Theatrically decorated in black and red with velvet chairs, burnished copper mirrors and a period fireplace. The separate drawing room is a concession to the 21st Century, with flat screen TV and an extensive DVD library.
Dining room
The grand centrepiece of the house, with beautiful stained glass windows, hand-painted wall coverings and an imposing fireplace.
Other
The hallway is hung with contemporary artwork by local artists, depicting some of the region’s most beautiful vistas; it may be possible to buy some of the artwork. There's also a peaceful conservatory which is perfect for breakfast on a sunny morning.

Outdoor

Gardens
The gardens cover two acres and run along the western shore of Loch Goil; there are wonderful views along the loch to Lochgoilhead and the Arrochar Alps.
Poolside
If you're brave enough to swim in the loch, watch out for submarines!
Parking
There is private parking next to the house with enough space for about 10 cars.
Other
Supported by the branches of a hugh Scots pine overlooking the loch, the charming tree house is where afternoon tea is usually served; there’s a balcony and a wood-burning stove. Another mighty tree next to the water supports a viewing platform.
