A five bedroom farmhouse in Lerags Glen, a picturesque valley in Argyll, just three miles from Oban in the highlands of Scotland. Large windows with panoramic rural and water views, this is an exceptional holiday house in Scotland. Ideal for families and friends looking for big group accommodation.
Once a traditional working farm, Achalic Farmhouse has been converted into a modern and comfortably styled holiday house whilst retaining its original features. Set in a simply spectacular setting, the house has a warm and homely feel, with many cosy features, including a woodburning stove inside, a woodburning hot and a pair of bath tubs outside.
The house is in the heart of Lerags Glen, a wonderful spot of rural tranquility, yet just a 10 minute drive from the town of Oban which has a wide range of shops, restaurants things to do and see. There’s an abundance of wildlife around the farmhouse - red squirrels, roe deer, pine martens and sea eagles have all been spotted, and there are lots of walking trails to explore. You can walk down to the shores of Loch Feochan, and there’s the renowned Barn Bar pub and restaurant a 15 minute walk away.
