Penlarach Holiday Cottage
Best of both worlds – rural isolation, stunning views and restful silence only minutes from the picturesque harbour town of Oban......
Location »An unrivalled haven at the head of Lerags Glen, Penlarach looks out to the south and west, with barely anything man-made in sight. South-facing picture windows and a glass conservatory give sweeping 270-degree views down the glen to Loch Feochan. At night, the burbling stream and hooting owls lull you to sleep, and during the day the peace is broken only by sheep bleating in the fields. Close to but separate from Lagnakeil lodges, Penlarach has easy access to Oban and its many fine restaurants - seafood being its speciality - pubs and shops (all a five-minute drive). A cosy country pub with food and folk music is a short stroll away.
Drink in the peace and watch the changing light from the terrace, the conservatory or the lounge, which all look down the glen to the shining loch. The raised situation makes for fabulous sightings of hawks, geese, and many other birds. Walks in the surrounding hills take in Argyll’s famous coastline of island-dotted sea, mountain and forest. Back at the house, you can watch the sunset, take a hot shower or bath, and settle in front of the wood fire to watch a DVD on the widescreen TV.
