Tigh an Innis (Gaelic for House in the Meadow and
pronounced Ti an Inish) is a
large property which has been
lovingly converted, by its original owner, into two luxury, self
catering cottages. The larger cottage can sleep 6 people in comfort,
facilities include; a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances,
double bedroom with en-suite shower room, family bathroom with shower
over bath, conservatory and private garden, sky+, DVD player, wifi and
much more to make your holiday here in Ardfern very comfortable as well
as memorable.
The
one bedroomed
cottage,
(which will be available from spring 2010), offers the same high standard of
facilities with an open plan kitchen/dining/living area and a large
double bedroom with en-suite shower room.
Tigh an Innis is ideal for large
family
groups as it has the flexibility of being able to accommodate 8 people
when both units are taken together.
The house
is centrally
situated within the small
picturesque west coast village of
Ardfern,
17 miles north of Lochgilphead and 26 miles south of Oban in Argyll and
only two hours from Glasgow Airport. The village facilities include one
of the
best village shop and post offices in Scotland,
pub, restaurant,
craft
shop and large yacht marina/chandlery, boat launching facilities and
numerous wonderful scenic walks. See if you can spot an otter, a seal or
even an osprey while you walk along the shoreline or take a walk to the
village of Craobh Haven on the north side of the Craignish Peninsula and
you may see some deer in the forest. The Mid-Argyll area has many
designated cycle tracks and forest walks, most of them with breathtaking
scenery. Take a boat trip down
Loch Craignish to the famous
Corryvreckan whirlpool between the Islands of Jura and Scarba.
Ardfern
is a great base for a holiday, situated within the very heart of
Scottish Christianity due to its close proximity to the Island of Iona
and its famous Abbey as well as Kilmartin Glen famous for its burial
cairns, standing stones and cup and ring marks. Due to the warm currents
of the Gulf Stream Loch Craignish is a haven for ducks, swans and birds
of prey, this also allows exotic species, such as palm trees,
rhododendrons and azaleas to flourish.
Arduaine Garden, now owned by the
National Trust for Scotland is only five miles north and is well worth a
visit. The village is centrally situated for all ferry terminals if you
would like to take a day trip to the islands.
