Port-an-Eillean is a quaint detached property set on a croft looking out to Loch Riddon on the Cowal Peninsula. The cottage is over 100 years old, with thick stone walls and originally had a thatched roof. All rooms have a view down to the sea loch and across to the hills beyond. The cottage is pleasantly furnished with two bedrooms upstairs and lounge, kitchen/diner and shower room downstairs. The area is great for cycling and a canoe/kayak can be easily launched from the shore. A boat mooring is available and a boat could be launched locally.Fishing is available from the rocky shoreline. There is an enclosed grassy garden at the front door and from the back door you are lead out onto decking which is also enclosed, both provide safe areas for children to play.The croft is set within approximately 14 acres of rugged ground, with some machinery stored on it, unfenced to the shoreline and a river runs passed the cottage, so children would need to be supervised at all times. The croft is no longer worked but the owners may on occasions visit their static caravan. Port -an-Eillean is a great location to explore with sea lochs to investigate, mountains to climb and an abundance of wildlife and history to delve into. The Argyll Forest is on the doorstep, which is part of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and where there are numerous forest tracks, marked walks, cycle ways and wonderful waterfalls to discover. Explore the new Cowal Way, a long distance walk running from Portavadie to Arrochar. There are many good eateries within easy driving distance where local produce can be sampled. A number of gardens are open to the public including Ardkinglas, Crarae and Benmore Botanic Gardens - which has an avenue of Giant Redwoods. There are three golf courses in the area and many opportunities for a spot of fishing. At Colintraive, only 2.5 miles away, you can take the short ferry crossing over to the Isle of Bute and a visit to the fabulous Victorian Gothic Mount Stuart House is a must. Tighnabruaich has a RYA sailing school and a selection of small shops. Over at Otter Ferry, the estate offers seasonal sporting activities. You could travel slightly further afield to Dunoon, which has a good centre for shopping, leisure facilities and a small cinema. Inveraray is also a great day out with the Castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll or a visit to 19th century Inveraray Jail which is great fun for the whole family. The Cowal Peninsula is a fantastic peaceful and accessible location to relax and get away from it all or for the more adventurous, explore and find hidden treasures.Property has oil central heating.
