Description
Oban is a busy and attractive harbour town with an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cinema. Known as the Gateway to the Isles, Oban has a thriving fishing industry and ferry terminal, from where you can take sightseeing day trips and ferries to many beautiful West Coast Island destinations. Within easy reach are many castles, standing stones, sea-life sanctuary, marinas, craft studios and galleries as well as other tourist attractions. Glen Coe, Inveraray Castle, Loch Awe and Loch Lomond (amongst others) are ideal day trips. Argyll is a beautiful county with stunning countryside where lovers of outdoor activities and nature will find plenty to occupy and interest them - such as diving, kayaking, sailing, hill-walking, fishing and golf all within easy reach of the house.
House Description:
The house has a hallway entrance with cloakroom, separate loo and shower room. This opens into the main spacious vaulted living area (8m2), with floating hearth and large log burner. The living area has comfortable seating for 12, a piano and stereo with CD player and iPod connection. The large very well equipped modern kitchen has plenty of storage space, double dishwasher, large fridge freezer and large induction cooker (5 ring cooker with 2 large ovens and a large grill) Also a Quooker (express hot water, no kettle required) The dining area has a large refectory table, which easily seats 12. There are 5 bedrooms - 3 Doubles and 2 Twins/doubles, and extra gallery bedroom with a large double sofa-bed, all beds are super-king size and the master bedroom has a 7' x 6'6' bed with luxury on-suite bathroom. The house has 6 bathrooms. There is a TV Room with comfortable setting for 10, with DVD Player, log burner.
The 2.4m wide deck surrounds the lower floor and is an idyllic space to sit.
The House was renovated over the last 4 1/2 year so if fully modernised and very comfortable it has:
Three Sitting Rooms (One being the TV Room)
The largest living room is 8m2 vaulted ceiling, this room has 360 spectacular views, either across Loch Etive or up Ben Dhuirrinsh at the back all stunning views.
2 Fully Fitted Kitchens - Both with double dish-washers - The main kitchen has a falcon 5 ring induction Hob, the second Kitchen has a four ring induction Hob.
Two dining areas (one with seating for 12 and the most amazing views across Loch Etive)
One utility room with Washer and dryer and another washer dryer in the second kitchen.
The house has Underfloor Heat in every room and large Log Burner in the three sitting rooms.
Nature:
We have seen Otters in Ben Dhuirrnish Bay on many occasions, there is a solitary Otter seen quite regularly and we have also seen the female with her cub and occasionally the father as well (only once see all three and I don't think the female Otter was that happy with the father being there)! - These Otter sightings are tide and weather dependent and can not be guaranteed - but I have loads of video film (many occasions 30 minutes plus of video and also some amazing photographs of the otter close-up). With luck and patience it is just a fantastic experience and had made the holiday for many of our guests.
Resident common gulls, mallard, eider, herons, we also see mergansers and goosanders, little grebes, kingfishers and many other birds including peregrines, merlins, buzzards, hooded crows and further up the loch we have spotted Golden Eagles. Towards the head of the loch there is a seal colony, which can be seen from the Taynuilt Cruise Boat.
Bonawe is a known fishing mark for sea anglers. The Loch has the Scottish record hake, Skate up to 40 lbs, Spurdog and Dogfish.
Thornback Ray, Cod and Pollock into double figures and Mackerel, Whiting, Ling, Haddock, Coalfish and other species available.
The spurdog fishing in Loch Etive is excellent. The Scottish shore record of 15lb 3oz was caught here in 1991. Fishing in front of the house can be productive with massive shoals of Mackerel coming into Ben Dhuirrinsh Bay and are easily catchable on light tackle from the shore- Brilliant fun.
Boats can be hired from Taynuilt boat hire and these can be delivered to the jetty at the end of the island - Very handy and great fun.
Happy Fishing....
