Welcome to Lonan Country House and Gardens! Hello, we are Richard & Natalie Anderson and together with three of our children and our two Giant Schnauzers Teddy and Daisy Duke, we are the owners of Lonan Country House & Gardens. Thanks to the fabulous efforts of the previous owners Malcolm and Elaine, the house and its suites are in amazing condition, having been recently refurbished. We have both loved Scotland for many years, and both of us have spent many years working hard in the UK and overseas which, while an incredible experience, just delayed our decision to be part of this wonderful life in Scotland. Our goal is to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible and to that end this is also our home, so we can be available to our guests to help with questions about activities and trips and any other queries you may have.

Lonan Country House & Gardens enjoys a glorious Scottish setting with stunning views to Ben Cruachan, Argyll’s highest mountain. Designed by Sir Robert Lorimer and built in 1906, this impressive Edwardian mansion is full of romantic highland character and retains many of its original Arts & Crafts features. This is a wonderful holiday destination for dog owners and guests are invited to enjoy the large surrounding landscaped garden, complete with croquet lawn and pond, extended grounds and woodland which give a wonderful sense of space and freedom. Deer are often seen grazing around the house, and this magical spot is home to amazing wildlife including red squirrels, otters, and pine marten. Keen birdwatchers will delight at the vast variety of birds including the chance to see golden and white-tailed sea eagles or the beautiful black grouse. There are endless walks to be discovered right from the doorstep and many wonderful panoramic views across the glen to Mull in the West, Loch Etive in the North and Loch Awe in the East. Glen Lonan is part of National Cycle Route 78, The Caledonia Way, stretching 234 miles through stunning Scottish countryside.

Quiet days can be spent relaxing in the surrounding peace, or the nearby harbour town of Oban offers a good range of shops, local attractions, and excellent restaurants, many of which serve freshly caught seafood. During the summer, the town comes alive with a host of festivals and ceilidhs, attracting bagpipers, highland dancers, and traditional musicians from all over the world. There are numerous exciting day trips to be enjoyed including ferries to the beautiful inner Hebridean islands including Mull and Tiree. The village of Taynuilt is within walking distance (1 mile) and has a train station with regular trains to Glasgow, Oban, and Dalmally. Also, it has a well-stocked grocery shop and post office. There is a nine-hole course for the golf enthusiast and lovely walks along the piers at Loch Etive.
