We loved everything about Red Deer Cottage. Lovely quite location yet close enough to great hiking, Glencoe, Oban and so much more. We'll definitely book again next time we're in Scotland.

Delightful - Stunning cottage, great for a family (with teenagers). Quiet and everything you need to have a great base to explore the west coast and Highlands.

Charming and picturesque recently renovated stone cottage built around 1840. A large wood burning stove in the cosy living room combined with a vaulted open plan kitchen and dining room make Red deer cottage the perfect spot to relax. At the base of mighty Ben Cruachan, next to the River Awe and Loch Etive the scenery within minutes of the cottage includes tranquil woodlands, beaches and majestic peaks. Wildlife spotted from the garden include deer, pine martins and barn owls.
A recently renovated stone cottage originally built in the 1840s comprising two bedrooms - one double with an ensuite (bath / shower) and one twin room. There is a separate family bathroom. The rest of the cottage comprises a bright open plan kitchen / diner and a cosy living room complete with large wood burning stove and TV. There is electric heating throughout. The cottage is surrounded by a generous garden with an outdoor patio to relax and enjoy a sunny evening. Outdoor dining table and chairs as well as charcoal bbq are provided. The local area has pub / restaurant and cafe within easy reach and plenty of stunning walks close by. The nearby picturesque village of Taynuilt including the Airds bay beach area are within a 5 minute drive. Oban, the main hub town of the area and ferry port for the islands, is just 20 minutes away where you will find plenty of bars and restaurants as well as shopping. The immediate surroundings provide plenty of outdoor activities with Inverawe woodland and smokehouse close by as well as the picturesque shores of Loch Etive. The cottage also benefits from its situation at the foot of the famous Cruachan Mountain, a munro and the highest peak in Argyll. Also featuring the unique pumped hydroelectric power station and dam which has provided the backdrop for both Star Wars and James Bond!
